(Looks expensive, but it's not.)
『Great box set. it looks expnsive, but you won't regret to own this.
I know it is challenging price, but just go for it!』

(Terrific films)
『I have always been a fan of Japanese cinema and came upon Zatoichi series a few years ago. I have never been disappointed with the films and was excited when I came across this box set. It was at a terrific price and includes a nice variety of the Zatoichi films. Shintaro, mixes pathos, comedy, strength and compassion, into his Zatoichi role and brings to life a character that you actually are drawn to. The difference between these films and many of the other "martial arts" films, by the way I don't really consider this a martial arts film, is that they spend as much time exploring the feelings and relationships of the characters. The plots have some depth to them and it's not always a case of good versus evil. So bottom line, terrific series and this set is a terrific way to get a introduction to the Zatoichi character.』

(Zatoichi)
『This was a gift for a friend, and his comment was that "it brought tears to his eyes" in that he was so delighted to get it. I am sure it is fantastic for those who enjoy this genre of art. Well done.』

(Pleased)
『I was very pleased with this boxed addition. If you are a fan of this genre I would recommend this Boxed set. To be able to find a boxed set, especially some of the movies of this series that I had not seen yet was great.』

(A Great Deal--Highly Recommended)
『As others have noted, the Zatoichi movie series is a classic--outstanding and immensely enjoyable. This collection is a good value. The DVD reproduction seems to be first-rate (each movie looks better than I remember seeing it decades ago), and the subtitles are very well done: Not only are the translations good, but they appear below the wide-screen picture rather than on top of the scene. Occasionally there's even a little note displayed above the picture defining a term, such as "palanquin" ('kago' in Japanese).

I have one small complaint. Each of the 7 movies is individually shrinkwrapped with 3 of those incredibly annoying antitheft stickers. I paid good money for the collection, so why am I treated like a potential thief and made to waste time every time I open one? That's just plain rude. I could have used Zatoichi's help getting the DVDs open for the first time, and had he decided to pay a call on the packagers, I wouldn't have tried to stop him.

Warning: This collection is a hook. Once you see all 7 movies, you'll want to see the other 19, and individually they'll set you back a good deal more. Oh, well!』
『Katsu Shintaro stars as Zatoichi, the Blind Swordsman, in seven of his finest adventures all presented in full color anamorphic widescreen! This box set contains seven full Zatoichi features on seven discs!』

(Excellent Release for what Voyager has access to)
『People have to Understand that Voyager Entertainment as a small company charge more for their dvd's and have less money to spend on materials or remastering. They have done a fine job on what they have had access to.

The video masters look the best they can from the ones they own, and they audio English dub has never sounded cleaner.
They don't have the rights to the uncut japanese audio or video masters.

There was a recent expensive season 1 set in japan for an equivalent of 400 american dollars that Had season 1 remastered from the original negative in an HD telecine and 35mm original masters. What voyager has are video masters probably a dupe of the master 16mm tv negative reduced from the original 35mm one. And therefore being several generations removed is not the best quality.

This is the best english version you are going to get or see marketed here in America. To expect voyager to Have the same resources and money as well as the masters that bandai of japan has is ludicrous.

This is a big if. But if they did get access to the new telecine from japan they would have to recreate the censored and cut starblazers from scratch like the US release of Voltron. They also don't have the license to the japanese Show Space Battleship Yamato as it was originally and uncut.

One thing the japan releases do have real Dolby Digital stereo mixes not faux Dolby Digital because voyager could not afford to pay Dolby inc for to slap the name on the box.』

(The Star Force's mission to Iscandar is chronicled on this set)
『This set contains all twenty-six episodes that comprise the first Star Blazers series are included. It should be noted that there are some errors when it comes to the chapter marks on the DVDs. However, the messed up chapter marks are the only real complaint I have with this set.

The first disc contains the first five episodes of the series, as well as two bonus features. The first bonus feature is labeled as "Planet Earth: 2199 A.D." This is a text-only feature that talks about the history of the war between Earth and Gamilon. However, if you just let a page of the text just sit without clicking on "Next" after a pre-determined about of time, the DVD will automatically move you onto the next page, whether you're done reading the first page or not. Personally, I found that aspect of the feature to be rather frustrating. The second bonus feature is "The Argo Inspection Tour." This is an external visual inspection, where you can choose what area of the Argo you want to see. From this menu, you are taken to a page that includes stills from the show and production art related to that section of the ship.

The second disc contains four episodes of the series, as well as four bonus features. The first feature is a "Crew Roster." This feature includes pictures for the major crew members on the ship, as well as a brief write-up for each character (which includes that character's original name from Space Battleship Yamato). There is a trailer for the third disc of this set, as well as a splash screen that includes the address for the official Star Blazers website. The best bonus feature on this disc, however, is the inclusion of a scene cut from the second episode of the series; this scene depicts the sinking of the original battleship Yamato in 1944.

The third disc contains four episodes, as well as one bonus feature. This feature is labeled as "Interior Deck Configuration." This is similar to "The Argo Inspection Tour" on disc one. However, the interface on this feature is terrible. For whatever reason, I couldn't choose a particular location to look at, even though it has a menu configuration like the inspection tour. It would only let me select the Captain's Cabin, and you had to progress from there. This feature also consisted of stills from the show and production art.

The fourth disc contains four episodes, as well as one bonus feature. Even though it's only one feature, it's a rather extensive feature. This bonus feature includes several selections to learn more about the Gamilon Empire: history, personnel, spacefleet, fightercraft, bases, weapons, and mecha. Each section has text, and is illustrated by production art and stills from the show.

The fifth disc in the set contains four episodes, as well as two bonus features. The first feature is labeled as "Equipment of the Star Force." This feature includes labeled production art of the various mecha, weapons, and equipment used in the series; in fact, it even includes a film projector. The second feature is labeled as "Friends&Enemies." This is a gallery of the minor characters, done in the same way as the "Crew Roster" on disc two. However, I thought it was rather interesting that Queen Starsha wasn't included in this feature, since it is due to her that the Star Force goes to Iscandar in the first place.

The final disc in the set contains the final five episodes of the series, as well as one bonus feature. This is the "Argo Mission Map." It's divided into four sections (three for the trip to Iscandar, and one for the return trip to Earth). There are dots on the maps for each place the Star Force visited in the series. If you click on a dot, it shows the date(s) they were there, as well as a write-up for what happened at each place. The write-up is illustrated with stills from the show.

If you're a fan of Star Blazers and want to get all of the Quest for Iscandar series on DVD, then I would recommend purchasing this set.』

(Another HORRIBLE Dubbed Voyager release)
『Why won't this company realize that real fans don't want hokey, non remastered, dubbed, 1970's American TV quality versions of classic Anime! Oh, they don't mind charging you 3 times more than all the other companies who DON'T have substandard releases. Pathetic, I really hope the rights to Space Battleship Yamato are purchased by a company that actually knows what it's doing.』

(Outstanding!)
『The Star Blazers Quest for Iscandar series is a faithful adaptation of the original. The bonus features showing the different ships and the cut scene from the Japanese series were very good.

Minor points that have been brought up by others:

1) The series hasn't been digitally cleaned up. That would have been nice, but it doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the program.

2) The episodes don't have the part with Wildstar introducing scenes from the next episode. It doesn't seem to be that great a loss, but one does wonder why they did it.

Even so, the series is a wonderful addition to any anime collection!』

(Have I changed or the series?)
『I remember being enthralled with this series when it came on TV years ago; it was the one show that my son and I would not miss. We awaited each new installment with great anticipation.

So we decided to purchase this series of discs when they were offered; they (the discs) were expensive, but you know what those good memories are like...well, they sometimes have a way of clouding sound judgement.

And with the result...

What a disappointment; what a bore! Have I changed that much with time? I fail to understand how this series could have, at one time, enamoured me so much. Now, this childish, immature cartoon series, that I once thought was so great, has me shaking my head in disbelief.

One of the other reviewers, seemed to indicate that something had been left out; maybe so, because something seems different. But then, maybe it's me. In any event, a major letdown! 2 Stars...1 Star (because it's the least available) plus 1 Star for the memories.

』
『The original Sci-Fi adventure series that created a generation of anime fans-and still stands at the head of the pack-is finally available on DVD! The star blazers series 1 DVD collection contains the entire 26-episode series on 6 DVDs, each in its own package and loaded with bonuses, from deleted scenes to music tracks to brand new image galleries. Relive all the drama and excitement as the star force launches for the first time in the space battleship Argo on their epic 148,000 light year quest for Iscandar! Standing against them is Desslock and the might of the Gamilon Empire... and the fate of Earth hangs in the balance!』
『The first animated work from Leiji Matsumoto, who would create the popularCaptain Harlocksaga,Star Blazers(Uchu Senkan YamatoorSpace Cruiser Yamato, 1974) was a landmark program in Japan and America. When it aired in syndication in the U.S. in 1979, the character names were anglicized (Susumu Kodai became Derek Wildstar; Admiral Okita, Captain Avatar, etc.), the violence and drinking were heavily censored, and the World War II connections of theYamatowere tactfully downplayed.The Quest for Iscandarcomprises the first 26-episode continuity; two additional TV series and several features would follow. In the year 2199, the war with the planet Gamilon has turned the Earth's surface into a radioactive desert. The radiation will penetrate the bedrock protecting humanity's underground cities in another year, destroying all remaining life. A message arrives from Queen Starsha of the planet Iscandar, offering a way to eliminate the deadly radiation and providing plans for an engine that can power a ship across the 148,000 light-year gap. Scientists convert the ruined shell of the battleshipYamatointo a starship in a desperate attempt to save the planet, and the perilous voyage begins. The animation and character designs look very dated, but Gen-Xers who grew up watching it rememberStar Blazersvividly. The bonus materials include a virtual tour of theArgo, an interactive map of the journey to Iscandar, and some footage deleted from the American broadcast version. Unrated; suitable for ages 8 and up: Violence largely restricted to spaceship and robot attacks.--Charles Solomon』

(Awesome Anime!)
『This is one of the greatest anime series i have ever seen! If you are a fan of Death Note, you have to watch this. It has great animation and an awesome story that kept me watching over and over again. I love the characters, but if you get to attached to characters, this might not be the best for you because alot of people die. But it is pretty funny as well.』

(I've come to deliver some bad luck)
『He's one of Chronos' Numbers, an elite assassin who's known for the XIII branded on his chest.

Kentaro Yabuki had a pretty cool idea when he used that for his manga "Black Cat," chronicling the ex-Number's adventures as a sweeper and his attempts to save the world from his former partner. But the anime is a mixed bag -- the overall story arc is scrambled up enthusiastically, but it's full of action and wild comedy (the white cat and his kisses!) and some thoroughly likable anti-heroes.

Sweeper Sven Vollfield is about to nab a notorious gangster when Train Heartnet, the notorious "Black Cat," bursts in and kills the man and escapes before anyone can react. Elsewhere, Train reluctantly befriends a perky young sweeper named Saya, who starts to make him change his views on killing and subservience. Just in time, since he's been ordered to kill a human bioweapon -- a little named named Eve, who Sven is determined to protect.

So Train breaks away from Chronos, declaring that he won't serve anyone. The Numbers attempt to kill him, and his ex-partner Creed attempts to lure him away -- saying that he plans to rule the world instead of Chronos. And to get Train, he'll kill the person Train holds dear.

Months later, Train is roaming with Sven and Eve as a sweeper, hunting down assorted bad guys for cash (but not killing them). Unfortunately Creed's "Apostles of the Star" is giving criminals Tao water that gives them superpowers, and organizing a deadly company that is nearly unstoppable. But the mad Creed is still determined to have Train at his side. The Numbers and Train are both determined to hunt down and take out Creed before he can hurt anyone else, but the Apostles of the Star may be too strong.

"Black Cat" deviates pretty drastically from its original manga -- the over-arcing storyline is scrambled up and parts are removed, the characters are given bucketloads of angst, Train's motivations are dumbed down, the moral greyness is wiped clean, and the entire start of the series is radically different. And due to some random filler episodes (Train and Eve help a bunch of homeless kids?), the last fourth of the series unravels as it tries to cram way too much into too few episodes. And it even adds on an extra anime-only arc at the end, which is hideously anticlimactic and out of place -- and changes the grand finale drastically.

Despite those flaws, "Black Cat" is a colorful action anime. There are brilliant acrobatic fight scenes, using weapon ranging from unbreakable guns to invisible swords, corrosive skin to a razor-sharp floating scarf. The battles can get so explosive that one episode has an entire castle crumbling out from under the characters, but there are long stretches of contemplation and flashbacks. And the entire series is graced with shadowy, elaborate animation full of glowing roses, dark rooms, moonlit rooftops, harsh sunsets and rainy duels. Even dark nights include a luminous soft light.

There's also a lot of angst in here, and a dark undertone runs through most of the series' characters -- even the perky ones have something unpleasant in their lives. Fortunately this is offset by a healthy dose of comic relief, usually from Sven or Train ("Everyone's in a panic over a stupid pet lizard, DAHLING!"), and some straight-faced humor from Eve due to her limited experience with... well, just about everything.

Train is a hero with a mildly split personality, since he seems to be either the angsty abused-killer-since-he-was-six gunman, or a delightfully goofy bounty hunter who can easily eat his own weight in food and milk. Sven serves as a good counterpoint -- an ex IBI agent with a magic eye and a perpetual ulcer over their bills. And the quiet, solemn Eve quickly grows from a "killing machine" to a naive little girl experiencing the world for the first time, along with enough books to overflow a library.

Creed serves as a pretty creepy villain -- he's megalomaniacal, arrogant, and has a massive gay crush on Train based on his prowess as a killer. The Apostles and the Numbers are patchily characterize, but some of them stand out -- the elegant and smart Charden, teenybopper Kyoko, the flirtatious Jenos Hazard, and the beautiful master of disguise Lin Shaolee.

"Black Cat" pads itself with filler (Train's background takes seven whole episodes?) and then rushes through its ending, but it's still an enjoyable action anime.』
『Sven is your run-of-the-mill sweeper (a.k.a. bounty hunter)– down on his luck, haunted by the perpetual grumbling of his stomach and looking to make enough cash just to get by. When a damsel in distress enlists his aid, Sven crosses paths with the worst possible luck – Black Cat (a.k.a. Train Heartnet). At odds now with the branded assassin, Sven seeksto save a young girl before the unlucky Number can carry out his mission.』

(Elfen Lied is really good)
『Well where do I begin....I'm not that into anime or manga, but OMG ! I loved this anime. Unfortunately, this was one of the first anime that I watched, and sadly, my standards for other anime are now too high because of the brilliance and awesomeness of this one! It is a must have, and I cannot get enough of it !』

(Great/rare themes but not the most "enticing" series)
『Elfen Lied has many good qualities to it. It has some of the most unused themes found in anime such as identity, alienation, abuse, jealousy,revenge, regret, and values in/of humanity. It can show you that while "superheroes" can be super, even the average human can be as bad as the villian. The series shows a good amount of nudity but does this in a not so goofy way ( not everyones boobs are the size of mellons ). It is also one of those series that you will continue to refer to several decades after you have seen it.It has its moments that can truely remind us of what being alive can be like.

Elfen Lied also has some not so great qualities too. I personally don't mind blood,gore, or even bodily dismemberment, but this series was a little to into it. It felt to me that at times, either the staff that produced this was both emotional/pissed at someone, or that they are on the virge of cannibalism. But either way the amount of blood and gore and dismemberment took away from the overall enjoyment of the scene and moment it was trying to portray. I truely get the understanding of the story that they were trying to tell, but I am not sure if Japanese anime was the best medium to present such a story. The length of the series, although not bad, leaves many questions unanswered.

Bottom Line: If you like LORD OF THE FLIES (and its themes), intense(almost slasher movie worthy) levels of blood/gore/violence/ nudity, and if you like stories whose endings leave room for interpretation, then this is for you. If not, then you might find more worth in another anime series.

3/5 stars for me.』

(One of the worst I ever seen!)
『I been watching anime for only a year now. And this is the 41st title I seen so far, and boy what a rotten experiance... Made me very grumpy indeed. The story totally contradicts itself, its a salad bowl of mixed genres, plus I hated every last one of the characters. The characters are very very annoying. People actually think Nyu is cute. This is by far my most hated character in anything I have ever seen to include that schizo bimbo Yuka. And man, it's so hard to take this terrible series serious. I can go on and on about how the fan service cheapened the horror and the comedy cheapend the romance. But since so many others supposedly see the art behind this. Why bother?』

(Great Series!)
『This anime is very addictive to watch. If you enjoy a good amount of gore, some nudity here and there, and characters utilizing amazing powers then I would highly recommend this anime. However, there are 3 reasons I didnt give this a five. The killings/ violent acts in this anime are not confined to adults, there are a few instances where kids get sliced up pretty bad. Also the ending could definitely be more complete, not to mention that this is fairly short at only 13 episodes. Even so this show has a great musical score and surprisingly good storyline and I would say paying $30 for 13 episodes is a great deal and definitely recommend it.』

(a lotta Hype)
『The background artists are fabulous... The characters are pretty good with depth but, since it's such a long series you would expect nothing less. The foreground/character artists did not nearly enough to make the characters "real". I was very disappointed in the production... too much flash-back fill, rehashing the same event over and over. I would not recommend this series to anyone except the die-hard manga collector.』
『Critics have described Elfen Lied as "weird,"(Anime Planet), "surprisingly sadistic,"(Gamerz Edge), and "addictive" (Animesou). Now wonder, when you consider what makes this series hum! Lucy, a beautiful young mutant, is bred by the government to be the ultimate weapon. Armed with unfathomable powers, she escapes her handlers, but loses her memory in the process. Fortunately, our young waif is taken in by two well-meaning students. Now, with government killers on her trail, the disposition of a five year old, and a hair trigger for ultraviolence, Lucy and her young friends must unravel the dark secret of her legacy before it’s too late.』

(Young artists facing heartbreaking changes)
『The pop culture vibe of "Honey and Clover" remains unforgettable, even as their favorite characters move away from each other.

The plot revolves around five college art student friends. Three young men and two women. One woman is actually a girl, if you want to go into details. However, the anime follows each character's romantic struggles as the person faces sudden changes in her/his life.

Two story arcs resonate with immense passion and emotion. The first arc focuses on the philosophical senior Takumi Mayama and Ayumi Yamada. Ayumi can't stop loving Mayama, even as her best friend visits the other girlfriend whom he works with. Somehow, these two characters pull off a delicate balancing act of emotions and romance, even though they may never stay together as a couple.

The second story is a love triangle between the young Hagumi Hanamoto, the sophomore Yuta Takemoto and the money-making slacker student Shinobu Morita. The romance opens as a warm friendship, but Morita faces a compelling decision near the end to either make more money or stay with little Hagu.

Even though the story takes melancholy twists and turns, the series retains a hyper pace of comedy at certain moments. The fan-favorite sequence involves two of the guys playing a grueling game of Twister. They literally hurt themselves to the point of disbelief, with bone-crunching sounds off-screen and shocked faces of agony.

But whether anyone actually believes that Morita's room is a high-tech computer room, the story resonates for its tale of long-distance relationships and love that may never come true. "Honey and Clover" is a story about college students who form a family of never-ending friendship, even as their romantic relationships tear them apart.』

(An anime series faithful to the manga release! A fantastic release!)
『Charming, beautiful, realistic and enjoyable... There are definitely a lot of positive things you can say about the anime adaptation of the Kodansha Award winning manga series by Chika Umino.

Having spawned a live Japanese drama and film, "Honey and Clover" has been a popular series that attracts both guys and girls as the story focuses on life and love from the perspective of both sides of the sexes. I was hooked by the manga series from volume 1 and enjoyed the film despite its different interpretation. But I have always been curious about the anime adaptation and now the first box set consisting of the first 12 episodes + a bonus episode is now available in the US courtesy of Viz Media. In Japan, a total of two seasons (48 episodes) have aired.

In 2005, "honey and clover" was turned into an anime series courtesy of Director Kenichi Kasai ("Nodame Cantabile", "Gokudo", "His and Her Circumstances") and a screenplay by Yousuke Kuroda ("Big Windup!", "Excel Saga", "Gungrave", "Infinite Ryvius"). The series features music by Yuzo Hayashi ("Sailor Moon" series), character designs by Shuichi Shimamura ("Saber Marionette", "Yu-Gi-Oh!", "Green Legend Ran") and anime production by J.C. Staff.

"honey and clover" focuses on five students who attend an art college and the focuses on their persona lives, their friendships within several years and how they evolve in school to eventually planning a career.

The following 13-episodes are featured on three DVD's. Here is a spoiler-less summary of each episode of "honey and clover box 1:

DISC 1:

* EPISODE 1 - "I Saw Someone Fall in Love for the First Time" - The guys meet a new transfer student named Hagumi who will be living with Professor Hanamoto and one of the guys starts taking a liking to her immediately.
* EPISODE 2 - "I Felt Left Out When I Saw Hagu's Work" - Morita-san thinks Hagumi is a Koropokkur and tries to make money of her.
* EPISODE 3 - "Why Is this Happening to Me?" - Mayama feels affection for someone. Who can it be? A Mayama driven storyline.
* EPISODE 4 "I Don't Like Christmas All That Much" - It's the first Christmas together as friends but why doesn't Takamoto like Christmas?

VIDEO&AUDIO:

"honey and clover" is featured in 16×9 widescreen and although the show is a television series, the artistic backgrounds, surround buildings are very well-painted and detailed. The character designs are true to Chica Umino's manga character designs and for the most part, character designer Shuichi Shimamura stayed true to her designs. Animation is fun and colorful and for those who are familiar with the manga series can definitely appreciation the overall presentation of the anime series. Very well-done.

Audio is presented in Stereo and featured in English and Japanese. Both the Japanese and English voice dub are both are very well-done. In terms of audio quality, the series is front channel driven but I chose to set my receiver with stereo on all channels. But dialogue is clear and understandable.

Subtitles are in English.

JUDGMENT CALL:

I really enjoyed this first box set of "Honey and Clover". I figured with so many situations from the manga series, how were they going to capture the essence of Chica Umino's characters and storyline in an anime. But for the most part, the staff succeeded in covering the most essential parts of the series. The jokes, the the angst, the emotions....everything hilarious and dramatic was caught and those integral scenes were featured on the anime series.

Similar to popular Japanese dramas such as "Asunaro Hakusho", "Wakamono no Subete" or "Hakusen Nagashi", I really enjoy stories that cover young adult life. From the parties to just hanging out with friends, meeting new people, career choices to finding love (or not finding love), "honey and clover" is one of those series that is realistic in the sense that many people can related to these characters. So, you really take an interest towards the characters and I really liked the overall development of the characters through the course of the nine chapters.

Umino's artwork and her storytelling is enjoyable, beautiful and has a good balance of entertainment through humor and that occasional love triangle drama that pulls you in. So, I was curious to see how much character designer Shuichi Shimamura can keep that quality and remain faithful to Umino's work. Sure enough, he and the crew succeeded. Artwork is absolutely beautiful as the painted backgrounds capture the detail of the wooden home where the guys live in. Buildings, lush scenery, colorful skies, you name it..."honey and clover" is just beautiful to look at and as mentioned earlier, voice acting in Japanese and in English are quite solid.

This is one of those anime series that will appeal appeals to both men and women courtesy of the main characters and we get to see things in each of their perspective throughout the series. If anything, the episodes are dramatic but the series doesn't take itself too seriously as you have the weird Morita, Hagu's overall young look and Ayumi's short temper helping to calm down storylines that can easily get too emotional and thus keeping the overall series lighthearted and fun.

Overall, being a big fan of the manga series, "honey and clover Box 1 is a magnificent anime release thus far. For those looking for an anime series focusing on young adult drama, real-life situations in relationships and college and more, give "honey and clover" a try. You'll definitely enjoy this anime series. Highly recommended!』

(Delightful.)
『This is not just another anime where romantic cliches litter the storyline. If you know artist Umino Chica, she's that one artist whose style creates a lasting imprint in your memories. Not only are her characters unique in their own way (i.e. Morita and his insane notions and humor, for example), each has his or her own story to tell. Each character's relationship with the others develop through a complicated storyline, some developing from friendships into something more. In the end, you're left with wondering about how each of them will live their lives in the future.

Honey and Clover is probably one of the most realistic, down-to-earth animes out there. Unlike other shoujo comics such as Nana or Fruits Basket, Honey and Clover shines with a deeply moving, pure and innocent plot. The viewer themselves can relate to the characters easily, allowing them to fully enjoy this series. After watching the anime, it is only right to pick up a copy of the manga in order to relive those carefree college days.

Perhaps some may say that the flaw of this anime is that the interacting environment seems too perfect. College life, as we know it, really IS perfect in the sense that there is no true society to deal with. College is, in and of itself, a mini-society. This anime portrays the relationships between several friends as they live their lives through the few years in post-secondary school and, in the end, fly beyond the classrooms.

A must-watch and a must-read, Honey and Clover deserves to be watched (and rewatched) over and over again.』

(A snapshot of college life.)
『Most anime is aimed at either a teenage or preteen audience. Honey and Clover is a rare anime targeted at adult women that guys should also enjoy - indeed, it will be appreciated most by those who have completed at least a year of college.

Our narrator is Yuta Takemoto, a sensitive young man slogging his way through his second year at a visual arts college as the series begins. Under the guidance of his favorite professor at the school, Shuji Hanamoto, Yuta makes his way along with his friends: his fellow architectural student Takumi Mayama, who's fallen in love with the young widow of Shuji's best friend; potter Ayumi Yamada, who in turn is in unrequieted love with Takumi; very eccentric computer graphics designer Shinobu Morita and, finally, Shuji's little cousin Hagumi "Hagu" Hanamoto - a painter/sculptor who will have a profound effect on both Yuta and Shinobu.

There are a few problems with the two female leads - Ayumi often becomes the dispenser of traditional anime slapstick humor, and more importantly a great chance to realistically depict life for short people is lost on Hagu, who has a disturbing lack of self-reliance with a somewhat shaky explanation. But for the most part, Honey and Clover brilliantly covers almost all aspects of college life, from freshmen experiencing their first bouts of homesickness to seniors stressing over finding their first jobs and everything in between - like learning how to handle alcohol without adult supervision and the dejection of often living on ramen and working your tail off to pay your dues without any financial reward yet. There are also some very humorous moments - especially a notorious game of Twister that will probably leap to the top 10 funniest list of many.

There are precious few josei anime in the North American market. Honey and Clover is generally considered one of the best, and if josei is your demographic, it belongs in your collection.』

(I love Honey and Clover!)
『Honey and Clover is very special. It's one of those series that doesn't come around very often and when it does it fills you with warmth and nostalgia. First off the characters are loveable and realistic, my favorite being Morita haha. I just love everything about this show, it takes me back to my early college years when life on your own was new and mysterious. This is just a great heart-warming shoujo anime that I would recommend to all girl anime fans! Also the soundtrack is amazing~』
『Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/22/2009 Run time: 300 minutes』
『Based on the bestselling manga by Chika Umino, theshojo(girl's) seriesHoney and Clover(2005) focuses on the misadventures of well-intentioned Tokyo art student Yuta Takemoto. Yuta takes a room in a broken-down building that makes Maison Ikoku look like the Ritz and befriends two equally impoverished student roomers: hard-working Takumi Mayama and erratic Shinobu Morita (who's skipping his way through hisseventhyear). When Professor Hanamoto introduces them to his favorite relative, the elfin and infantile Hagumi, Yuta and Shinobu fall for her like a bento box of rocks. Hagumi looks like a porcelain doll, paints like Monet, sculpts like Rodin--and acts like a diffident 7-year-old.Honey and Cloveris an offbeat mixture of slapstick and treacly romance. As often happens to nice guys, Yuta is eclipsed by a flamboyant friend: Shinobu's unexpected appearances shake everyone up, like a roaring leaf blower dropped into a Zen garden. It's not clear just what he and Yuta see in Hagumi, who carries the notion ofkawaii(ultra-cute) to new heights--or depths. When she goes shopping for art supplies with Shinobu, she's too shy to eat in front of him or say she needs to go to the bathroom. The extras include a useful guide to cultural references: mostotakuwill already know "ramen" and "tatami," but when Shinobu calls Hagumi akoropokkur, it helps to know he's referring to a leprechaun-like figure in Ainu mythology.Honey and Cloverspawned an animated sequel,Honey and Clover II(2006), and a live-action feature starring award-winning actress Yu Aoi and J-pop star Sho Sakurai. (Rated Teen+ Older Teen, suitable for ages 13 and older: cartoon violence, minor risqué humor, alcohol and tobacco use)--Charles Solomon』

(The show is awsome, gonzo however not so much.)
『I watched this back a few years ago and loved it, put it on my wish list, and got it in the tin for xmas, downside is no disc one. Other then that great quality show, I just can't really re watch it with the first episodes MIA. Other then what I am hoping is a rare problem I highly recomend this tin box set.』

(p.s.: your mother is a dirty whore......)
『when I was recommended this series from a friend. I dodnt know what to exspect. but I must say it was highly enjoyable. the characters were well written, the action scenes kicked ass, and it had one of the most interesting plot twists out there. If ya like post apocolyptic series like Trigun, this is your bag.』

(desert punk box set)
『I own a lot of anime and desert punk is in my top five.Very very funny plus a lot of guns,babes and the it facter!the it facter is a anime that makes you want more no matter the cost for the price it is now dont let this one on pass you by.』

(Funniest damn anime I've ever seem)
『I can't remember the last time I've laughed at an anime so much. FUNimation did a fantastic job dubbing this in English with a very mature, crud, and witty dialog. From the cover I thought it was going to be a drama, and I'm happy it wasn't. Too many anime's are heavy and dark, and don't get me wrong I love those, but this was like a breath of fresh air. I'd recommend it to anyone, not just anime fans. This may now be my favorite anime.
*The dialog is similar in crudeness to Shin-chan so if that offended you (grow some balls), you'll probably want to avoid this, as well.*』

(Has this happened to anyone else?)
『Okay... so recently I bought this product, and it's a GREAT series, I'll give it that, it's got comedy, fanservice, action, everything really.

But inside my box when I opened it up, I noticed I have disc 1, 4, 3, 4, 5, and 6... no disc 2, but two disc 4s, and unfortunately there's no real way to like... correct this so I'll prolly just have to buy a seperate disc 2 and swap it out for the extra disc 4(and hopefully the individual dvds are the same as the ones that come in the box set), unfortunately the individual discs no matter where I've gone cost more than I paid for the boxset itself. And it was factory sealed, so it's not like someone swapped it, it is just an anomally that occured and I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else?』

    (Annoying Music)
    『Not bad, but the music is annoying, ruining the whole anime.
    Often the music is not appropriate to the scene, like big orchestral classical music not matching the emotion of the scene. I specially hate the tuba just walking funny as in some bad Disney movie.
    The music is loudest when it should be silent, like during serious discussion between the characters.』

    (Great series for any anime fan)
    『This is terrific series for any anime fan. Though most would toss this into a 'harem' classification with scarcely a thought, there is very rarely a moment where any of the female characters compete directly or indirectly for the male lead's affection. While all the characters involved have their own motivations, this does let the main romance, the actual focus of the series, develop well with the plot. The good music and light, clean animation also accenuates the series light and innocent tone. A good buy.』

    (Excellent ^_^)
    『Though this item took a while to deliver, it was well worth the wait. CD's were in perfect condition, though the case was somewhat broken on the inside. My only suggestion for improvement would be to use different postal packaging for better item condition upon delivery. Other than that, everything went quite well indeed ^_^』

    (An Incredible Romantic Magical Anime Greatly Worth The Price)
    『I saw a few episodes of this on t.v. a few months ago and it looked very entertaining similar to the series Ai Yori Aoshi with a more magical twist and I am definitely glad to have gotten this set. The story has the main character Keiichi Morisato a young male college student who seems to have the worst luck with money and women and because of his money problems lives in the auto club dorm rooms. Than after a accidental phone call mistake he's connected to the goddesses hot line where he meets Belldandy a young goddess who tells him he gets one wish, and his wish turns out having Belldandy staying on earth at his side. In no way is there anything to adult in this series it's actually pretty light-hearted with most of the romantic scenes so don't worry about younger kids watching this show. Along the series Belldandy's two other sisters Urd and Skuld come to earth and later stay there. The series has a mix of romance and humor but again don't worry to much about violence in the series the harshest you'll probably see is when two of the series characters are punished for their conniving ways and trying to get between Belldandy and Keiichi. The series is widescreen format with clear and sharp picture quality so no need to worry about the picture. The audio is also great the dubbed and subbed voice actors did a great job for their characters on the show. Now I'm just waiting to get the second season set of this great show to complete my collection, so to anime fans if you like Ai Yori Aoshi or Ranma 1/2 animes this series is a great selection for your library...』

    (Pleasant anime romantic comedy)
    『A friend of mine introduced me to anime, and knowing that I hated ultra-violent series that are so popular amongst anime fans, recommended Ah! My Goddess instead. The series starts off incredibly slowly - the very first episode is entirely Keichii-centric. The pace picks up a little when Belldandy shows up. But the series really begins to take off when Belldandy's sisters - Urd and Skuld show up. It's about then that the series settles into a familiar formula - Urd tries to persuade Keichii to put the moves on Belldandy, Skuld tries to stop them, hilarity (and numerous explosions) ensues. It's a simplistic formula, but the characters have so much charm to them that it actually works very well.

    I have some minor caveats, which I think are particularly relevant to new viewers. Firstly, the series does take awhile to get up to speed and establish the characters, so be patient because the multi-episode wait is worth it. Secondly, for those used to female protaganists like Buffy Sommers, Belldandy is a major throwback to the 1950's. The character of Belldandy is most successful when she is interacting with other characters - particularly Urd and Skuld. When the focus was on Belldandy herself, the pace slowed down for me somewhat.

    Apart from that, this is a reasonably good series.』
    『Kosuke Fujishima's classic story of a hapless college boy and his one true goddess comes to life. Keiichi Morisato is an engineering student and the top driver of the campus racing club. While calling for take out, a wrong number puts him in contact with the Goddess Hotline. One misplaced wish later, Keiichi finds himself blessed with Belldandy, the perfect girlfriend and a bona fide goddess. Unfortunately, she doesn't have any idea how to act in the human world, and her presence quickly gets Keiichi kicked out of the dorms. Keiichi's troubles have just begun.』

    (Can't get enough Zatoichi!)
    『Zatoichi is such a likeable, and original character from way back, that it's always a pleasure to watch all those many great movies. Though this is from the television series, it is indeed very similar to the Zatoichi motion pictures. I have to admit though, that I was tempted to give it four stars only because the sound and picture quality wasn't as good as the Zatoichi movies, which I thought this particular distributor might have been able to remaster and correct somewhat. But, of course, that's not the fault of the original TV series in any way, so I kept it at 5 stars for the usual great stories, and prediciments that Zatoichi always manages to find himself in.
    As far as each story goes, they're much like mini-Zatoichi movies, and if you need a real Zatoichi fix, watch two in a row, which should equal or even surpass the length of a Zatoichi movie.』

    (Excellent Collection...Horrible Inside Case.)
    『The quality of the movies are great, if you like the movies you will like the tv series actually you might like them better because they are shorter. The quality of the footage has few mistakes and noticeable marks in the footage some weird audio, but it's what you can expect for a movie made tv show.

    My only complaints are the case inside is a horrible idea, when i opened the case the middle page which held the discs broke, and each disc lays on each other which I think is not a very good idea, another thing is you should skip this and buy the collection 1&2 together save money, and get all of the episodes released so far, I bought this because I had already received vol. 4 from someone so I didn't want to buy doubles.

    Five stars because these episodes are magical and really draw you in they leave you wanting more, the tv series has some really great characters like a samurai/bird keeper with this large stick and gooey sap, he never uses a sword.

    Check these out.
    』

    (Season One, collection one, episodes 1-13)
    『As stated in the title, Zatoichi Collection I contains Episodes 1-13 of the First Season.

    Whether you are a die-hard Zatoichi fan, or a casual viewer looking for something different, the Zatoichi Collections are great place to begin (Or end, if you've already seen all 26 of Katsushin's movies. If you haven't, well...what are you waiting for?!?)

    Each of the 13 episodes (1-13) averages *about* 50 minutes. If you find yourself questioning "how many scumbags can our hero possibly dispatch in only 50 minutes?", well, the answer is "as many as he wants".

    Each episode is a mini-movie, with all the action, humor, drama and tragedy of a full-length movie packed into 50 minutes. I've seen all 26 episodes of the 1st Season, and I enjoyed every single minute of my time spent with Shintaro Katsu as the immortal-beloved, Zatoichi.

    Fans of Zatoichi will notice repeat plot-lines, gags, and similar stunts during certain action sequences, but don't even think of letting that dissuade you from purchasing these treasures. The true beauty of Zatoichi is that it's star, the very soul of the show, Shintaro Katsu, could make a humorless joke funny, or a cliche' pratfall look new, interesting, and even dangerous. He could make eating a steaming bowl of rice look so delicious, that I just had to stop and cook myself some right then and there, while Ichi-san waited on pause in the living-room. And last but certainly not least, his swordsmanship is truly something to behold. Regardless of clever editing, even after multiple viewings one can marvel at actor Shintaro Katsu's impressive skill with a sword. Hat's off to the stuntmen/extra's as well.

    Now, writing a review of each of these 13 episodes is a lot of work, and I'm far too lazy to even consider doing that, so just take my word when I say that even a *not so good* episode of Zatoichi, is still twice as good as almost anything out there. In my book, there are a few *not so good* episodes, while the rest (and there are 100 episodes in all) fall into the *Oh my god, that was awesome!* category.

    In closing, I'll just say if you don't already own Zatoichi Collection I, buy it right now. If you already own it and are reading this review of Collection I, you can stop reading now and go buy collection two; I won't be offended you didn't finish reading this, I promise.』

    (Zatoichi re visited)
    『I watched the originals in Japan in the 70's. This is what I watched. I didn't have the luxury of english subtitles then, but they are on this set. I have shown these to friends who are very impressed with the old shows. I like them.』

    (Ghostdog)
    『The 4 stars are for the "The Blind Swordsman". I give zero stars to the company that put this out. Last Year I bought all six double DVD packages of the first year of the TV Series. When I saw this compilation I thought it was all 26 episodes of season 2 in two separate packages. I was happy at the reduced price from last year and "Very Unhappy" that it was just a repackaging of Season One. I will now wait and be sure that what I'm buying from this company is what it purports to be. They should have listed the episode titles on the box, then I would have known I'd seen them before. I'm really disappointed with Tokyo Shock&Media Blasters. I've been waiting year for season two and they do this. I think on purpose. NEVER AGAIN!』
    『A threat is uttered, a blade is drawn, a flash of cold steel and then...a dozen attackers now lie silent, dispatched by the lightning sword of Zatoichi. A humble masseur and gambler, Zatoichi wanders the countryside of Japan, going from town to town plying his trade and rolling the dice. With kind heart and lethal sword skills, he is protector of the innocent and the ruin of wicked men. A pop culture icon since his screen debut in 1962, Zatoichi (played by Shintaro Katsu) was a matinee favorite throughout the 1960s. After a dozen years and 25 films, the blind swordsman transitioned to the small screen in 1974 in the series, "Zatoichi Monogatari". The first 13 episodes have been compiled in this three-volume, six -disc set.』

    (Shattered Angel)
    『Focused more on the romance side than the action side, but still delivers a good helping of both. If steel angel kurumi was your cup of tea then this is definately worth looking at』

    (Michaela)
    『This anime is a tear jerker. I loved it but the ending was very sad like Kannazuki No Miko. If you enjoy romance animes that don't turn out like their suppose to then get this if you want the anime to be heartfelt but everything is as it should happen all happy then don't get this.』

    (Enjoyable Short Fantasy Series)
    『Fans of Kannazuki No Miko should really enjoy this show (and will especially enjoy a certain couple character reference!) Those who have not seen Kannazuki No Miko or Steel Angel Kurumi (both of which are referenced in this anime) can certainly still enjoy it, though! The art and animation is beautiful, crisp, and vibrant with bright colors. The English voice actors do a fine job, as well. Every voice fits the character - even though a couple may grate on some less tolerant people's nerves.

    The story revolves around Kuu, a girl who feels empty and useless who dreams of her "prince." She lives in Academia - a country of schools created after a disaster several years prior. One day she meets a man who reminds her of the prince in her dreams, and he introduces her to the "Absolute Angels" - beautiful creatures of power and destruction. The story is full of fantasy and romance.

    I will say that the "mecha" fights are far better animated and much more interesting and convincing than in Kannazuki no Miko. The story also has slightly better pacing. Although it can be easily compared to Kannazuki no Miko, I would NOT consider this a yuri show. There is one lesbian couple, but the focus is on a male/female couple. The music is ok, but leaves much to be desired compared to other similar shows (i.e. Kannazuki!)

    The product is great - a 2 disc thin pack that won't take up too much room. The box is pretty and the disc slip covers are reversable with beautiful (if a bit scandelous) art. DVD menus are simple, but work. Extras are limited to clean op and ending, credits, and Funimation previews. The subtitles for the opening and closing songs include Romanji and English translation (alternates by episode).』
    『Ten years ago, an unspeakable disaster shook the world and endless devastation rained from the heavens. From the ashes of that tragedy rose the city of learning, Academia. A young girl named Kuu attends one of the city's many schools, unaware that the fearful disaster only marked the beginning of the struggles to come. When a series of people go missing and a mysterious transfer student named Kyoshiro joins her class, Kuu's life is turned upside down. She soon finds herself locked in a conflict with the Absolute Angels, a group of beautiful girls who must feed off of human life force to survive. Wielding god-like strength, they have the power to destroy the world itself. But are these angels truly demons of destruction, or simply innocent girls trapped in a fate they can't escape? Who is Kyoshiro, and why does he look like the prince that Kuu sees in her dreams? In a world of love and betrayal, Kuu must not only find the answers to these questions, but the meaning of her own existence.
