Story:
Characters: "Intense hatred of her own womanhood." What?

Music:
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, ). And the series ends with a bang, of sorts: all new heights of sexism. It could have been fixed, too, with just a tweak of two or three lines of dialog - making it so that the villain's problem is that she's criminally insane, rather than that she's a woman. Sigh.
Objective Rating (Average):
