Summary: Four high-school friends find themselves part of a supernatural mystery where they must become killers in order to reclaim their former lives.

This is the fourth volume of one of the creepiest and most stylised anime series ever produced. While the city shines off in the distance, murder and mysteries still surround the four girls who are desperate to reclaim their former bodies and lives. What role does the 'organisation' and the sinister pharmaceutical company play in all of this? Is it all just a horrible experiment gone wrong, or is there something more supernatural to the mysterious suicides, the girl's post-death imprisonments, and, of course, those strange butterflies? More answers and drama await in this unsettling volume.

A "Light Universe" and a "Dark Zone" keep good and bad apart for the characters of Lexx, even though it's often hard to tell the difference between the two in this offbeat and unique sci-fi show that delights in its own nastiness. With flashes of nudity and surgical gore, and a collection of extreme hairstyles and accents, the show's overall look is often akin to a sci-fi Eurotrash.

Aboard the stolen 10-kilometre-long spaceship Lexx (designed to look like a dragonfly) are the "Dirty Three-and-a-Half": insufferable coward Stanley H. Tweedle (Brian Downey), the Edward Scissorhands clone and 2,000 years-dead Kai (Michael McManus), decapitated and lovestruck robot head 790 (voiced by writer Jeffrey Hirschfield) and the skimpily wardrobed Zev (Eva Habermann), replaced for Season Two by Xev (Xenia Seeberg). A disregard both for genre conventions and good taste makes the show a constant series of surprises: by the time of the third season, the expression "anything goes" had long passed being understatement.

On this tape: Stan has been endlessly teased by Xev. They got it together (in a manner of speaking) in "Love Grows", but here at last they experience the "ultimate in sexual satisfaction". Don't they? "The Key" metaphorically stands for a number of things in this ship-bound episode, which furthers the season's mystery considerably. And as if the sexual tension wasn't high enough already, the lifestyle offered Stan on the Water planet's "Garden" is all too tempting. It even causes Kai to down roots--in a soil box! The biggest lure is the return of beautiful plant gal Lyekka. As a double act, the episodes on this volume illustrate a lot of what keeps the censors' scissors at the ready. Fortunately they still get away with the line: "The dead do not poo". --Paul Tonks
