More feeling, more mystery, 2 February 2007
8/10
Author: sheenafilm from Hamburg, Germany

Kimika Yoshino plays Misa Kuroi again in this prequel telling us how Misa became a witch. Flashbacks even show her as a child. Saiga (Wataru Shihodo) was appointed to become her protector, and he also teaches her the first lessons in magic. "Eko Eko Azarak 2: Birth of the Wizard" gives more space for mystery than "Eko Eko Azarak 1: Wizard of Darkness" did. It also focuses its attention on characters and story somewhat better. No other part of this horror series has more warmth and feeling. The best example is in the scene when Saiga is wounded and Misa discovers she has the powers to heal, as she repeats the words of the magic spell after him. Only the situation of being stalked and locked in by evil forces is a bit repetitive. Voted 7/8/5/6 for part 1-4.
