(Not as described.)
『I thought i was getting at least the beginning of the season, i ended up with one CD, that was in the middle of the season so, I suggest you be more specific before selling.』

(Really good!)
『I really enjoyed this DVD. They made a mistake, there are 6 discs, not 1 disc.There is also a special features disc in it. I could not resist seeing the other episodes, but I did not want to see all the episodes at once.This economy box has 20 episodes, the entire first season.It also has a MKR gallery,character profiles,alot of interviews,and spell index. It has alot more I will let you see for yourself.The artwork was okay too.I don't want to bore you out,so I won't give you the plot and all.Read the other reviews, they will tell you what this anime is all about.』

(A little corny.)
『I've read the whole Manga series, but I haven't finished the anime yet, but the only problem with this anime is the fact that it was made years ago and the dialogue and dubbing is a little corny, but other then that, it has really good plot points and an interesting ending to it. So I would say if you aren't that uber anime nerd, just cringe your teeth past the poor acting and really watch the story.

I really liked it and the fact that it's not $120 a series makes it a really good buy. You should also check out some of Clamps other works (like Tsubasa) because they do throw in some interesting little things into their story.

The reason I don't give this a 5 is because I think even if though it's really good, it's not the series that everyone can automatically get into (I apologize to the anime viewers that eat classic anime for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) because the dialogue if you want a sample it's stuff like, "HIKARU!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" if someone is injured or "You were my best friend, I can't believe you would turn against me. I can't possibly attack you." so for people that really, really can't stand that for a good story, I would suggest reading the manga because it's shorter and easier to get through (6 manga in total or 3 per series).』

(I love this Series!!!!!)
『This economy box is great! The series is really good and the ending is very deep...I can't wait till I have the money to buy the second season..This set has both the dubbed and the japanese with subtitles version and interviews with the american cast including the actress who plays Mokona who did both the Japanese and the
American versions...I had a bit of trouble playing the Omake endings and an alternate theme songs on the special features area I would click on it and my dvd player would stop but that's really the only downside I saw. Mokona was what attracted me to this series since I had enjoyed him in Tsubasa Resevior War Chronicles the manga..and yes Mokona is a boy...however in this series there is only the white Mokona and his entire language is pu! There is also a bonus disc containing two interviews with the Japanese director and someone else who I have yet to watch. Overall this series is wonderful and worth the money and will make you keep watching to the end! I am really glad I bought this series.』

(Magic Knight Rayearth, a Shojo Mecha Fantasy Series)
『Magic Knight Rayearth is a work from clamp that takes the best (and worst) of all the anime world. This is not your run of the mill anime series.

First, you must be patient with MKR...its begins rather slow and gives little or no background about the characters. It is also emotional. I find that refreshing, because many anime series are all about panty shots and robots...ie MOLDIVER. The animation is NOT upto par with clamp's manga, or even cardcaptor sakura. The animation reminds me of NADIA or something from the late 80's.

But the facinating and complex storyline pulls you in. And when the mecha finally shows up (The RUNE GODS), its Awesome. It is not as detailed as Gundam, but apparently, the ladies get hit whenever the mecha gets hit. Yep, there's a bit of blood in this series (would have made a perfect show for FOX and they wouldn't have to butcher it like they did Escaflowne).

That what it reminded me of, with the robots, the girls and emotion of the show, Escaflowne. There are no panty shots (the potential is there) and the violence is as mild as Macross. I don't even know why its 13 and up. There's body lines (ie Sailor Moon), but no profanity and no overtly sexual details. The end of the series WILL MAKE YOU GO BUY MKR2. By the way...Rayearth is Hitomi's Rune God. He doesn't show up until the end of the series. The Dubbed V.A.'s and the opening and closing songs dubbed and in its original Japanese is high pitched and annoying.

I got so emotionally connected in the series...The ending made me angry...I found myself yelling at the characters like they could hear me. Dragon Ball never made me do that. That's why MKR should be a part of any Anime lover's possession.

("Pumpkin Scissors" is one of those rare gems that flies under the radar. Definitely an anime series worth checking out!)
『In 2006, anime production studio GONZO and AIC adapted Ryotoro Iwanaga's manga "Pumpkin Scissors" to a 24-episode anime series.

The series would be directed by popular 80's anime director Katsuhito Akiyama ("Sol Bianca", "Thundercats", " Gall Force","Bubblegum Crisis"), screenplay by Yuuji Hosono ("Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor", "Ray" and "Trinity Blood"), series composition by Atsuhiro Tomioka ("Samurai 7, "Vandread", "Eat-Man" and "Berserk"), character designs by Chizuko Kusakabe ("Trouble Chocolate") and mechanical designs by Shuichi Hara ( who worked on "Armitage: Dual Matrix" and "Solty Rei").

"Pumpkin Scissors" takes place during a time where war has ravaged the country. But a ceasefire has ended the war between the Royal Empire and the Republic of Frost. But since the cease fire, the country is not in the best of shape. The Empire is now plagued with starvation, crime, pestilence and even the soldiers have become bandits.

With corruption also residing in the ranks of the military, a division called Imperial Army State Section III was created. Section III is also known as "Pumpkin Scissors". A name given to the group by 2nd Lt. Alice L. Mavin. As way of the pumpkin being the layers of corruptness being trimmed by the blade of a scissor.

The series focuses on the Section III team and their mission of helping people and eliminating the corruption in their own military but also helping the public in other areas who have suffered from corruption.

But within the Section III is a mysterious soldier named Corporal Oland who is a member of the secret anti-tank group known as "The Invisible 9 who seems to get them out of a jam when the going gets tough.

Section III consists of the following individuals:

Captain Hunks - The commanding officer who is rather calm, always smoking and gives out the orders to the team.

2nd Lt. Alice L. Mavin - Leads the team on their missions and also a member of the royal family. But is dedicated to her job and passionate about the goals of Section III. Always hot tempered when angered, she carries a short sword.

Corporal Randel Oland - The mysterious soldier known for his height and his facial scars. When things get tough for Section III, Oland turns on his blue lamp and becomes a member of the "Invisible 9. A man who is vicious in battle and gets the job done with his 13mm anti-tank gun. Able to take on massive hits and injuries while in this mode. A secret military group of individuals that took on tanks. Not much is known about the "Invisible 9 but there members of the Section III accept him without asking any questions about his past.

Warrant Officer Martis - Graduated on the top of the Academy but transferred to Section III to uncover corruptness in his former unit.

Warrant Officer Oreldo - The playboy who seems more interested in drinking and women but the cool, clever and resourceful member of the group.

Sergeant Major Lili Stecchin - An aid to Captain Hunks who works in the office and is responsible for the dog named Mercury (the messenger for Section III).

VIDEO&AUDIO:

"Pumpkin Scissors" is featured in 16×9 and for the most part, the animation and artistic backgrounds retain the quality you would expect from GONZO. For the most part, the animation is action-based and the artistic backgrounds tend to reveal the war-torn country. Character designs by Chizuko Kusakabe ("Trouble Chocolate") and mechanical designs by Shuichi Hara ( who worked on "Armitage: Dual Matrix" and "Solty Rei") are well-done and it's a series that focuses on a core group of characters but features a lot of characters as the group tends to visit villages that are in need of help.

So, you see a lot of anguish and fears in the face of the commoners and of course during battle, the fight scenes are also well-done and enjoyable to watch. But also striking are the violent imagery depicted on the animation and design of the characters of the "Invisible 9 group. Definitely cool character designs and artistic style.

As for audio, "Pumpkin Scissors" is presented in English 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound and Japanese stereo. Dialogue is clear and understandable through the front and center channels but with all the action, I was hoping to hear a more immersive soundtrack especially coming from the surrounds. But the series is primarily front and center-channel driven and felt that my best setting was to set my receiver to all channels on stereo.

As for the voice acting, I watched the series in both English and Japanese and both feature solid voice acting. The main difference is that the English version tends to change a few things in dialogue and also utilize more profanity and familiar Western terminology for the English dub. Also, Oland sounds a bit more oafish in the English dub but in a way it does make sense. But for the most part, I felt that the voice acting was well done and enjoyed both vocal tracks.

Subtitles are only in English.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

"Pumpkin Scissors - The Complete Series" comes with very few special features on disc 3 and disc 4 containing trailers for upcoming releases:

DISC 3:

* Textless Opening and Ending Themes

JUDGMENT CALL:

"Pumpkin Scissors" is definitely an anime that people shouldn't judge by its DVD cover. Or even its name. I suppose I was a bit skeptical with the references to a pumpkin and scissors on the cover did not exactly generate any enthusiasm on my part but after watching the entire series, I can tell you that the series is definitely exciting, clever and for the most part, highly entertaining!

I enjoy the series because the "PUMPKIN SCISSORS" are always looked at as an underdog military/intelligence group that is not too important to the empire. But the group shows its strength by tackling corruption and accomplishing missions which are not easy by any means.

Lt. Alice L. Malvin is quite interesting because she is a daughter from a noble family but instead of living a life as a noble, she learns how fortunate she is to have food on her table but at the same time, because of her beliefs, she wants to see right with the people in the ravaged villages who feel that they have no voice when it comes to the Empire and Alice wants to be their voice and really wants to help people.

But what is interesting is that you see her character develop especially when you get to the final seven episodes. She's a changed person and her beliefs start to change.

"Pumpkin Scissors" also shows the side of post-war and how villages all over have been destroyed or people left to die by starvation and sickness. It was really good to see how animators captured the anguish of those who are suffering.

I did feel that the humor at times felt a bit kooky especially when you enjoy the violence and the action sequences for the series and some episodes go from dark but then you'll have a character like Oreldo flirting with a woman or cracking a joke.

But I really like the characters in the series. Anna has a pure heart of wanting to help the people, as does the corporal who despite seems to be lost because all he did was kill the enemies during the war and now that there is no war, trying to evaluate what peace is about and also trying to figure out his existence and his part of being in a group like Section III.

The show also does a great job in focusing on character development and granted there are not many characters on the Section III team, but you see each and every one of them overcome adversity someway and also with the help of each other.

An enjoyable series that is full of action, intrigue and suspense. A good balance of violence and a touch of zany and kooky humor. From start to finish, you'll find yourself feeling that "Pumpkin Scissors" is indeed a hidden gem amongst many anime titles being released right now. But it's a series that is worth checking out.

I highly recommend "Pumpkin Scissors - The Complete Series"!』

(Don't Let the Strange Name Throw You)
『Every now and then there comes along an anime title that makes even the most open-minded individual pause and think surely this one has to be a case of mistranslation. Such is the case with Pumpkin Scissors; a show with a title that seems made up of two completely unrelated nouns. I mean could have it worked just as well if it were called Zucchini Shears, Squash Clippers, or Cucumber Nose Hair Trimmers? Guess we'll never know but who cares? The fact is, as indicated by the insignias on the character's uniforms, Pumpkin Scissors was indeed an intentional collaboration of symbols used to identify a certain military brigade within a surprisingly rich tale.

This anime release represents but another gem created by Gonzo that Funimation wisely picked up in their collaborative deal with ADV Films. Labeling this specific release The Complete Series, it contains episodes 1-24 of the show across 4 dvds. Packaged within a pair of thin packs (each holding two discs) within a very nicely decorated cardboard sleeve, the total runtime comes in at 600 minutes-even.

The show wears an appropriate TV 14 rating due to its grandiose themes of violence and militaristic operatives. There is no nudity or particularly offensive language, and some sequences, though violent in nature, seem to avoid indulging in gore.

Language options consist of both the original Japanese dialog track (stereo) or English dub (Dolby 5.1 Surround) and the choice of English subtitles for either vocal track.

Extras are limited to texless songs and two crops of Funimation trailers.

The story goes something like this: We pick up at the conclusion of a long and grueling war between the Empire and the Republic. It's a period where a forced peace treaty struggles to find its footing and soldiers, who were accustomed to the thralls of battle, now find themselves on war relief duty in lands that have been ravaged by battle.

We follow the young female character Alice, an idealist heir to nobility and Second Lieutenant in Military Intelligence Section 3 (aka Pumpkin Scissors). While she's expected to obey commands and do things "by the book", our protagonist makes it her own personal mission to fight for what's right, even if it means taking out rogue soldiers who refuse to follow the peace treaty or exposing corrupt, power-abusing nobles.

The show is an interesting blend of action and strategy and its pacing makes no apologies for failing to favor one element over the other. The themes are quite ambitious, some might even say too ambitious, but the major story arc is broken up pretty evenly by the minor day to day trials and tribulations of the characters involved. Credit is definitely due to the show's artists and production teams for managing to combine bright, clean visuals and cutesy moments with an underlying sense of ominous that builds without drawing too much attention to itself. Comic relief is sprinkled about to break up the potential monotony of what boils down to a brash female soldier who decides to reveal the corruption of the power-crazed nobles who dictate her society.

In the end, a whole plethora of minor battles and grand conflicts serve as the catalyst to reveal the mysteries surrounding a covered-up super soldier program (kind of like a bunch of Captain Americas with eerie lanterns) known as the Invisible Nine.

This is one of few shows out there that can genuinely boast the ability to appeal to a pretty broad fan base. Some will find attraction to the military-themes, antiquated technology, and action sequences while others will just as successfully cling to the character development of the interesting and likable cast. Finally, there could just as likely be a devotion to the visual style and crisp animation presented here as it's definitely got the type of class that Gonzo seemed to be able to extract time and time again in their works.

The vocal tracks are just about equally solid in either language option. One would suspect that the depth of talent in the Japanese track would overshadow the efforts of the English dub but the fact is that each take of the script has its own merit. Occasionally it even sounds as though the English actors may have had a little more fun getting into the characters than their Japanese counterpart!

In all, Pumpkin Scissors could very well earn the award for the strangest anime title to reach our shores but the material itself is solid enough to warrant serious consideration. Some may argue that the pacing is just a tad bit inconsistent and sure, there are episodes that tend to drag on with little overall plot progression, but in the end a rich story is cleverly weaved here through a group of honest characters unwilling to accept a corrupt society. A majority of the bits and tangents that pop up along the way ultimately lead to a satisfying conclusion that's worth the effort of following along (even if little of what's happening makes sense at the time). Multiple viewings reveal subtle overlooked details that slipped past the first few times through. In all, a definite winner that will surely spend very little time collecting dust on a shelf.』

(Masterpiece)
『Not your ordinary anime. Gunslinger Girl's animation is a little darker than most and very scenic w/ attention to detail (especially if you are interested in Italian art). I thought the choice of classical music was very well chosen and suits the series extremely well. Although the action scenes are awesome and vicious the main theme of the series appears to be the interactions between the cadre of girls and their complex, missunderstood relationships w/ their handlers. I was hooked by the action packed trailer but really fell for Gunslinger girl once I started watching it and found out it was much deeper than its action scenes. If I had to describle Gunslinger girl as one word it would be beautiful. I think Italy was a perfect place to have the series based in because in general Italy has a lot of passion go into their art, food, fashion, etc... I thought it appeared as the same type of effort went into Gunslinger Girl, I really enjoyed it.』

(An excellent series)
『This series surprised me in its depth - I won't go into it, as the other reviewers have an interesting debate on the subject - but suffice it to say the art is beautiful and the music serene. The visual and audible styles make an incredible contrast to the violence that somehow drags you in.

I will make one special note though - I had just received my order from the seller "movietronix" and would advise against buying this collection from "movietronix"'s storefront, as the item I received was NOT the one listed. Instead I received the "Gunslinger Girl Box Set: The Viridian Collection" - I direct you to "Ariolander "Neko (Mimi) Mode""'s post on Gunslinger Girl: Box Set (Viridian Collection 2) where he discusses the differences between the releases. The Viridian Collection, though it has nicer artwork, has cardboard DVD holders that notoriously scratch the discs. I have emailed the seller about my order and may report to Amazon as a guarantee breach depending on their reply. Just a word of warning - the collections are so similar that a few other buyers I've talked to have had similar problems.

Besides that, I would heartily recommend this series to anyone who enjoys great artwork and music choices...or animated violence...or "serene" storylines.』

(Perversion)
『For the love of all that is good, don't buy, watch, or support this in any way. Yes, the art is good. Yes it is stylish. But people are missing the point: this entire show is an excuse to show so-called "moe" relationships between adult men and prepubescent girls. That is the ONLY point of this series, and it is fairly emblematic of what is wrong with the anime and manga subculture. Just because there is no overt sex means nothing. It is guys "taking care of" little girls who spend all their time holding phallic symbols. It is sick.』

(Awesome Story Concept!)
『I saw a preview for this on another Anime I had watched and I was instantly intrigued by its premise. "Gunslinger Girl" just looked phenomenal and action packed. On the back of one of the DVD's it said "Anime's answer to `The Professional'..." by Rob Bricken, a reviewer at Anime Insider. Needless to say this definitely caught my attention. "The Professional" is one of my favorite films with an absolutely phenomenal story.

"Gunslinger Girl" definitely poses a very controversial concept, but that's what makes it very good. The show takes place in Italy and primarily centers on the story of a little girl named Henrietta. The premise is based around a top secret government organization that is part of the Social Welfare Agency. It's not about giving children new homes; it's about giving terminally ill patients a new chance at life. The one catch is that, regardless of the fact they're children, they have to become super assassins for the government. The children are given new cybernetic bodies to accomplish these seemingly inhuman feats for children. However, despite these enhancements they are still children and they need extensive training, as well as re-learning how to use their new bodies. Although not everything on a girl is replaced as we later learn with Triela. Each girl is teamed up with a handler (together called a fratello (siblings)) who is responsible for training her in combat and supervising her on missions. This is where that whole line of ethics becomes heavily blurred. I know some people will dismiss the idea of training children to be assassins as just plain wrong. But the fact remains that without the agencies interference they would be dead. Not to mention these super assassins are fighting against terrorists that would further harm other innocents. It's not like they're taking little girls that could live normal lives, they are taking those that are already damaged beyond repair. The only part that makes me curious is the girls undergo something called "conditioning" to increase their obedience and docility to their handlers. It also makes them forget their tragic past. They really didn't get into the details of what they do or what its effects are. The handlers have the ability to choose how much conditioning a girl receives, which brings us into the ethics of their trainers.

Henrietta is the girl we get to know best, along with her handler José. You really do like this pair, because they seem to compliment each other quite well. José treats Henrietta like a little sister and truly does care about her feelings. He wants her to be happy in her new chance at life. Not all trainers are like José though. Jean, on the other hand, is very demanding of Rico, but Rico seems to deal with this personal strife better than some could imagine and she's fiercely loyal to Jean. Triela and her handler have sort of an understanding, she's the oldest and most self sufficient, but she still wants her handler to be proud of her and he's happykeeping his distance. Not everything works out this well for a fratello, because in the case of Angelica and Marco things are not going so well. There seems to be some serious memory flaws because of the implants (Angelica was the prototype) and Marco has a very difficult time dealing with helpingthis child overcome her problems and then her forgetting. The worst case scenario is probably Elsa and her handler. He is so uncaring and cold to her that it just feels wrong; to him she is just a tool. You intrinsically know that regardless of the fact that they are cyborgs, they are still children and need nurturing. They need to feel like they're accomplishing something. Most of the girls are very grateful for a new chance at life and genuinely enjoy what they do. They even know they have been conditioned and sometimes question whether it's their brain washing talking or it's the real them.

As you can see I thought the story concept was brilliant. You go through all kinds of episodes dealing with different missions and different teams. Primarily we see Henrietta and her story, but you get to see what happens with all the other girls I mentioned, as well as Claes, who has a very interesting story. You see their handlers deal with the problems of having to essentially raise children and how they go about doing this. A lot of them can't treat their girls like any other weapon, it's tough to do that, especially when it speaks and you know there is a conscious mind behind the words! I do wish there was more of a central story to the whole series though. Watching the missions and getting to know the characters was really great, but at the end it just ended. There wasn't a huge blow out ending or anything. It makes me hope that they write another series in this universe with these girls, this one just feels so introductory.

I thought this was a very good series and I would definitely recommend it to just about anyone. Just don't expect it to be all action, like I had initially thought. It really is more like "The Professional" when I think about it because that dealt a lot with the issues and emotions of training a child in the art of assassination. One thing I do commend "Gunslinger Girl" for doing is making all the weapons real. It's funny because I recognized a lot of the guns from the video game Counter Strike, so it makes me wonder if there was some influence there! In the end I have to say my favorite character was Triela. I really thought she was the most interesting character in some ways because it felt like she had the most personality and she was also playing the big sister role. I do wish this series delved more into the technology, because they referenced that the cyborgs lived a shorter life-span, but they never say how short that is, or if they are working on technology to increase that. In the end I am left with a lot of questions and wanting more episodes, so maybe someone will read this and make more in the spirit of this first installment. This set comes in three normally sized DVD cases complete with a slipcase to package all three. This really should get 4.5 out of 5.』

(The girl has a mechanical body. However, she is still an adolescent child.)
『Gunslinger Girl look really good when i was looking it up. I was deciding whether to buy it or not and at the end, I ended up buying it for $38 dollars. I got it four days later and i'm really glad i bought this anime.

Introduction Of Gunslinger Girl
Officially, the Social Welfare Agency is a government sponsored corporation that's in the business of saving lives. In reality, it's an agency on the fringe of technology. They give terminal patients another shot at life using cybernetic implants. This conditioning process then shapes the patient into an efficient machine for handling all of the government's dirty work.

Sum of the Story (No spoilers)
A special agency was formed to combat criminals and commit political murders. The agency was called Social Welfare Agency. This is not your regular agency, instead of using well trained officers, they use cybernetics girls. Interesting? The agency will pick little girls who has a tragic accident or their parents died. After the girl is in custody, The handler will name the girl. The agency will take them, brainwash them, put mechanical parts in the body, train them and making the girls fearless killing assassins. The cyborg girls go through intense training involving shooting practice, cleaning the guns, hand to hand training. Once the training is done, The girls live a normal life like nothing has happen. There are five main characters in the story. The characters are Henrietta, Claes, Triela, Angelica, and Rico. Each girl has a "handler". The handler is a male that commands them to either kill a person, practice their skills of shooting and combat. Also tells them whether to protect them. The girls go through training to become the perfect assassin. Once the girls have a mission, the agency have the girls do their "dirty work". The girls are assign to a mission that they need to perform. They have to blend in with the crowd and not make any mistakes. Once they have found thier target, The handler will order the girl to shoot the target at the right moment. The anime doesn't really have a plot. A short plot will be reveal, resolved and then a another plot.

The setting takes place in Italy, modern day.

The graphics are great and the sound is great. The graphics are amazing, It's 16:9 color which is really good. The color has dark and light shades which gives the characters real look to them and the background. The images of Italy also play great for Gunslinger Girl. The sound of shooting, reloading, cars, people and the music are great. It feels like your watching it first hand and you are their to witness it. It's better if you have surround sound while watching the anime. It's still good if you don't have surround sound. The music also sets the moods for the anime. Whether it's a huge gun fight, or an emotional moment. The detail of the characters is very good and the personality of the characters also shows. The anime shows the personality of the characters right away and the anime also explain what roles they play in the anime. Gunslinger Girl also has a twist to it and an questionable ending. The opening theme and ending theme also stays true to the anime.

I would rate this for teens (15+). There is alot of blood and alot of shooting involve. No nudity or sexual content. It's not like Elfen Lied or Divergence Eve (which i recommend watching). The story will involve present and past, so you can watch how the characters develop and also how they got to the agency. I was kinda disappointed on how it ended but some animes want you to question and guess how it ended. I wished it didn't end and it kept on continuing.

The case is big, but shouldn't be a probadly putting it somewhere. Comes in three discs and with extras (Trailers, Languages, Commentary, How to draw 3 characters). It's also has opening and ending theme with textless writing. So you can view the opening or the ending theme without the credits.

If you like twists, a very good plot, detailed characters, and a questionable ending, this anime is for you!I took a chance with Gunslinger Girl and you should too. Gunslinger Girl is an amazing anime that i was even shocked how good it was. Buy the anime and see for yourself to see how well it is!

Second Season of Gunslinger Girl?
Yes there is a second season of Gunslinger Girl. It's called Gunslinger Girl IL Teatrino. The downfall is that it's comes out at the end of this year or the begining of 2009. Funanimation license Gunslinger Girl, so expect the graphics to change. Google the Title and you will see the differences between the first and second season.』
『The Social Welfare Corporation is a secret military force that has been "saving" orphaned girls by making them more machine than flesh. No longer children, they are assassins… and an even more frightening truth will change everything. Box Set Features: • Exclusive collector’s box • 13 Episodes • 325 Minutes of Content • Audio commentary • 16:9 widescreen • 5.1 English audio』
『Henrietta, Claes, Triela, Angelica, and Rico, the adolescent heroines of the broadcast seriesGunslinger Girl(2003), are orphans who have been turned into petite assassins through cybernetic implants and brainwashing. Each girl has an older, male "handler" from the Social Welfare Agency, a covert branch of the Italian government, who oversees her training and takes her on missions. The miniature murderers travel through Italy, dispatching criminals, right-wing terrorists, and uncooperative police officers with a cold-blooded efficiency Scarface might envy. The girls remember a few scattered fragments of their past lives, and the only feeling they express is a mixture of affection and adoration for the handlers. This lack of emotion makes them singularly unappealing as characters and robsGunslinger Girlof the pathos ofSaikano. None of them feels a shred of regret for their murderous actions: In episode 8, Henrietta complains that's she's only killed four people in the last month. The results suggestKey the Metal Idolre-made by Sam Peckinpah. AlthoughGunslinger Girlwas one of the first examples of the "murderous moppet" genre of anime, it ranks among the grimmest series of recent years.

(Good Series)
『I have been a big fan of Japanese animation for a long time, but this was always one of my favorites. I'm glad I got a chance to get the series before it was gone. I have missed a few in the past thinking "ill wait for it to go down in price" Bad idea. My advice, if you like it, buy it before it gets away.
The voice acting is good in this series, the only thing I wish they did was subtitle the names of locations when they are splashed on the screen, other than that it was great.
And one last thing

FINAL FUSION Complete!!!!!!』

(It's fantastic)
『What's there to say? It's a great show and a great example of the giant-robot vrs aliens genre.

Excellent soundtrack as well.』

(GaoGaiGar: An anime classic)
『GaoGaiGar is an incredible series. If you love GAR and manly punching and shouting and fighting, this is the series for you. Wonderful price, too. This is an incredible value. The series takes a little while to build up, but once it gets going, it'll have you marathonning them.』

(Great Series, Bad DVD)
『Shame on you Anime Works! You decide to get rid of your overstock by re-releasing all 5 volumes in one set at basically 1/5 the cost. For anyone who dosen't already own these I guess its great. Also its a lesson to people like myself.... DONT BUY DVDS THE FIRST TIME AROUND. just wait a couple years for the re-relase and get them dirt cheap. They just better release the rest of the series at the same price point.... Grrr...』

(If you're new to the Lodoss mythos, this box set likely won't convert you.)
『Record of Lodoss War / 1586640046

I'm given to understand that this box set builds off of a long-standing mythos, and since I'm new to the Lodoss world, please take this review as such: the perspective of someone who picked this up at a used film store because it looked interesting and I have a growing appreciation for anime as a genre. If, on the other hand, you're a long-standing fan of the Lodoss universe, then this review isn't going to be very useful in evaluating whether or not you want to buy this box set and I refer you to the several other wonderful reviews here that review this box set from that perspective, as opposed to an outsider's perspective.

Having said all that, if you are new to the Lodoss mythos, I think it's safe to say that this boxed series isn't going to convert you into a fan. Without mincing words, the series is just plain dull, and that's not an accusation I level lightly. There's a *massive* amount of "filler" here - the starting credits and ending credits alone seem to take up more screen time than the actual 'episodes' (and you can't skip past them because each episode is a single DVD chapter, so you have to fast forward each time which, believe me, gets old fast). Once you get into the actual episode, there's a beginning recap each time, an ending teaser, and a bizarre "second half of the show" that features cartoonish, child-like versions of the main characters making silly puns in voices so shrieky and high-pitched I was afraid our windows would shatter. I usually prefer English dubbing, but we had to switch to the original Japanese for these "second half" sections, because the voices were slightly more bearable. And the jokes aren't even funny or amusing - they're just puns in Japanese that no longer make any sense in English.

So having established that the *actual* episode is, in fact, criminally short, is it at least good? No. The storyline over the entire four discs is always a derivative, D&D-style "travel here and kill bad guys". The bad guys are *never* complex or interesting in any way - with the exception of Ashram, they are all cartoonishly evil jerks who slaughter the innocent for fun and oppress their own troops. (Ashram, the one 'complex' villain is 'complex' by virtue of being moody and indecisive.) The good guys, by contrast, are all good, all the time. King Kashue of Flaime, for example, could have been an interesting personality - he's a 'good' king, but he still desires power and 'a unified Lodoss' at least as much as Ashram does, and some interesting points could have been explored there, but they never are because good guys are all perfect gods in human form and whatever decisions they make are for our own good. Ergo, Ashram's unified Lodoss idea is bad because he's evil and Kashue's unified Lodoss idea is good because he's virtuous. Brand new characters teleport mysteriously into the action, often when cannon fodder is needed, and character motivation will change radically whenever the plotline calls for it, so ultimately all the characters feel like interchangeable pawns in an extremely dull chess game.

Storylines are often simplified in order to make room for other things, but Lodoss' utterly derivative story seems to have been simplified and cut in order to make way for dull voice-overs. Despite the subject matter, there is a dearth of actual action, and what action is here is dull and badly animated. Battles are fought by stringent D&D-style rules (one group of sorcerers laments that they can't go into battle without at least one warrior to protect them while they cast spells), but the animators couldn't be bothered, so "battles" consist of close-up shots of a magic user casting a spell ("Manna of all creation..."), with a follow-up shot of their victim grimacing. Sword battles are rendered by drawing two fighters facing each other, and every five or six seconds they raise their swords and bring them back down again jerkily - I've seen animation by amateur Photoshop users that was more detailed than this.

If you can forgive the simplistic storyline and the battles being too few, too short, and too amateurish, you'll probably find that the characters are equally simple and poorly fleshed out. Aside from the 100% good / 100% evil dilemma, characters are frustratingly stupid at times (like when everyone fails to savvy up to the fact that if there is only ONE sacrificial virgin that is acceptable as a sacrifice to bring about the apocalypse and if it's crucial that she MUST remain a virgin, then maybe the best answer to avoiding the apocalypse is less 'traipse all over creation avoiding capture' and more 'spend some quiet time with that young knight she keeps mooning over') and are more often than not saved - for no reason - by ridiculous deus ex machina conventions ('The king dragon saved us! You remember - *the* king dragon! The one we've never mentioned before and will never mention again? That one!'). Even the voice acting is terribly done, with several characters sounding flat and the dialogue so badly inflected that I began to wonder if the "English" dubs were performed by people who didn't understand what they were reading - it's cringe worthily bad.

When it comes to anime and D&D, I have ridiculously low standards, because I enjoy the genres enough that pretty much anything will please me. There are a lot of things Lodoss could have done to draw me in, despite it's faults - if the character had been more complex, I could have forgiven the terrible battles; if the battles had been rendered better, I could have ignored the simplistic storyline; if the storyline had been longer and better characterized, I could have forgiven the terrible, flat voice acting and the shrill "second half" insanity. All together, though, I simply could not enjoy Lodoss War and was extremely relieved when we finally finished it. If you're a huge fan of Lodoss, this will probably feel like a decent tribute to a great mythos that you enjoy, but if there's no nostalgia here to lighten the faults a bit, you likely won't enjoy this at all.』

(I unbiasedly liked this one.)
『I actually watched this one (Heroic Knight) "out-of-order" (having bought it BEFORE the original Record of Lodoss War). I genuinely liked it, and feel it stands well on its own two feet.

I partly wanted to watch it on its own because I didn't want to prejudice or bias my review by having seen the "prequel" first (some folks had griped that it was different from or not as good as the original). IE, I didn't want to have anything to compare it to, or for it to have to "best in mortal combat."

If taken on its own, and under its own power, it appears to be internally consistent, has decent animation. Though I like the opening credits animation BETTER than the animation of the series itself. If they'd used animation similar to opening credits throughout the series I'd have LOVED the series. Honestly the opening credit artwork is pretty cool. But just on its own merits I liked the series. It looks and feels like a fantasy epic. Perhaps not AS sweeping as some others out there. There were a few bad voice acting moments in the opening episodes (episode2, especially, with Parn, if I recall right), but that clears up by the time the series really gets going. So I won't dock them for it. Call it opening night jitters.

I'd say that if you like "fantasy anime," this one's decent. Haven't seen many to compare it to yet. But as I said, on its own merits it's pretty good, for what it is. I'd have no qualms recommending buying it.』

(The Lodoss War Series...(Spoliers))
『Their are spoilers in this review, so don't read if you want to look at the series with "fresh eyes", as it were.

This review will be simple, and to-the-point.

First the good, then the bad.

The good:

This arrived in GREAT SHAPE, and arrived early!

The series comes on 4 DVDs, and the packaging presentation is very professional.

The price, at $34.95, was a GREAT value (And even BETTER VALUE when you get the OVA boxed set of 13 episodes in the same order, for under $80!).

Deedlit and Parn, they are great charachters to watch, with great voice actors, they are always good...

The bad:

Not ENOUGH Deedlit and Parn...what a shame...this series should have been about D and P with more adventures, until the very end...

ALl of a sudden, on Disc B, all the charachters voices are changed! And their actors are terrible to the originals!

Also, all of a sudden, the main cast completes their quest all too early, then switches to a new rag tag group you have never met before (except seeing Spark as a child earlier on...)

Deedlit and Parn never kiss, after going through all of that together, not even one kiss...this is a serious lack of closure for me, as a big fan of Lodoss War.

The new crew that takes over after Parn and the others is pretty annoying at first, especially that punk Spark. Man, I hate his charachter...

Compared to the OVA, the animation, while not terrible, suffers in the quality department.

I hated the ending, it should have been about Deedlit and Parn, not Spark and his group!

In spite of the faults, the incredible value elevates this to FOUR stars out of FIVE. To think, fo years, they sold this same set for nearly $130!

Take my advice, wait for the series to lose popularity before buying it, that is what I am doing with Wolf's Rain...once it is $50 or below, I will get my copy of it!

In the end, the OVA is much better, but the series is still worth a watch.

』

(Just buy the cheaper import...)
『I bought the $129.99 original US release of the series and it was costly. I watched and compared it to the original Record of Lodoss War, and I was just surprised how off the series is in a way. Personally, I should have bought the imported version of the series, since they're much cheaper and the US release isn't even worth it much. In a way, I regret buying the US release, but don't get me wrong, I still liked the series, although the Remastered Edition of the original Record of Lodoss is much better in detail and animation. The only things wrong with this series and the previous one are some of the bad english dubbing (Man, if you listen to Prince Reonna or whatever his name was in this series, you'll get a good laugh on how pathetic, and mismatched his voice-over really is; picture a large, broad blonde man speaking like as if he was a short or rather weak man).』

(re: Avoid entirely)
『I just watched this with friend and family, and we're all very confused. None of us are constant anime followers, but we aren't novices either.

The story is simple enough, but there are considerable loopholes and bad characters.

Despite what the editorial reviewer from Amazon says, King Kashue does NOT idolize Parn, it's PARN who "idolizes" Kashue. Kashue is fond of Parn, but does not idolize.

Here's the lowdown: the first DVD chapters 1-14 tries to focus on Parn, who is a simplistic village boy, son of a Heroic Knight of some distant war. Parn grew up in the same village with Etoh, the cleric. Meets up with the High Elf Deedlit, and the Enchanter Slayn and Ghim the dwarf.

They almost save the village from random total annhilation by possess goblins and Parn barely wins his first experience one-on one melee with the lead goblin.
From there, this groupgoes on a series of seemingly random adventures. They have a loose collective idea to go meet an Archmage named Wort.

Viewers are introduced to the uber-bad guys, the Black Knight (who's name we don't learn until episode 12, Ashram) his little gang that includes a powerful mage and some powerful fighter that we learn in episode 17 is Emperor Beld and the mage ended up being the central player named Wagnard. We learn HIS name in episode 24.
The "Hero", Parn, ends up saving the elf girl from some nonsensical plot that I won't reveal in any "spoiler".

Main complaints: it's slow and boring. Too much talk. For example: the hero group (Parn, etc), spends three frames and two episodes talking about the Forest of No Return; and they "return in less than ten minutes?" It also didn't make sense how they returned. They just fell out of the forest into another more normal forest (!)
The prologue did not connect with the rest of the story and they kept injecting it in the story. They didn't' have a map, so the viewers had no sense of the kingdoms or alliances.
They built the story of Wort and getting to him up and then used the Heroes' adventure there in a flashback?
the whole thing with Karla and Wort didn't play for me; it took Wort too long to intervene. Karla switching to the last body didn't make sense either.
They took too long to introduce character names and added two new characters in the middle of the story (the Beserker and his companion) for no rhyme or reason. Deedlit's voice was annoying, and it seemed weird that the enemies always picked on her; is she the only High Elf? Who knew? No explanation?
Who is Prince Jester? Which group did he belong to? What happened to him after the battles?
They focused way too much story time on the two swords, and the dragons. The dragons they built up to, and then they dropped the storyline for three episodes?

The names, by the way, is too funny, it's sad. Couldn't they have come up with better names? They're awful!! Deedlit???[what are those things coming out of her head, ears, or carrots?] Parn? Wort? Wagnard? Sheesh. Woodchuck? Is Etoh a female or male?
oh well.

the music was good, the dark elf woman was good looking. Ashram was cool

Avoid, though kids may like this....and TRUE anime fans may also. If you can put up with how slow it is.』
『Five years past, a band of six adventurers defeated the conquering armies of Marmo, the dark island, and saved the accused island, LODOSS. Since that day, the survivors have been honored as heroes, and their deeds have become legends. But the darkness never perished... Now, a mad wizard threatens to raise an ancient evil— the goddess of destruction. Old heroes must heed the call to defend their homeland and new heroes are forged as the battle for LODOSS begins anew.』
『Record of Lodoss Warbegan as a serialized role-playing game inComptiquemagazine in 1986. The story was adapted to novelizations, audio books, and video games, followed by a 13-part OAV (original animation video) series, which was released in two parts in 1990 and 1991. Five years later, the 27-part broadcast series was completed. Although some characters, settings, and incidents appear in both continuities, the OAV and broadcast versions ofLodoss Warwere made independently, and the discrepancies in their sword-and-sorcery narratives can't be reconciled.

The broadcast series is divided into two linked adventures involving the supernatural treasures hidden by the last rulers of the Kingdom of Sorcerers 500 years earlier. The first tale (eight chapters) centers on Parn, the honorable Free Knight, and his High Elf companion Deedlit, the heroes of the OAV series. With some help from an assortment of allies that includes King Kashue of Flaim, an annoying grass sprite, and a berserker mercenary, Parn defeats the megalomaniacal knight Ashram, who seeks to rule a united Lodoss with the Scepter of Domination. The second adventure takes place 10 years later and focuses on Spark, a young Knight-in-Training at the court of King Kashue, who idolizes Parn. Spark and a veritable army of secondary characters battle the evil sorcerer Wagnard, who plots to resurrect the destroyer-goddess Kardis. Kardis will destroy every other living thing in Lodoss, leaving Wagnard to rule an eternal Kingdom of the Dead. From these adventures and Parn's counsel, Spark learns what it means to be a true knight; he wins the respect of his men and the love of his lady. Unfortunately, the story line breaks down in the later episodes, when writer Katsumi Hasegawa seems to lose track of the plot and many of the characters. Ashram returns--despite having fallen into a lava pit in episode 8--but as a noble and prudent ruler. Karla, the ancient gray witch, opposes Wagnard, then allies with him. Several "dei ex machinae" appear at the last minute to save situations. The lapses in the storytelling may help to explain why many fans prefer the shorter OAV series, although both versions offer plenty of ancient prophecies, spells, dragons, duels, star-crossed romances, and apocalyptic threats. The individual episodes are separated by "Trailers," odd little segments in which child versions of the main characters make fun of each other and the story. Unrated. Suitable for ages 13 and up: minor nudity and profanity, considerable violence and grotesque imagery.--Charles Solomon』

(Very funny anime)
『This is a very cute anime. It is a story of a world full of magicians where everyone has magic, but they can only use thier powers a certin number of times. The story's main character Kazuki, is considered a loser because he can only use his magic 8 time in his life. If he uses all his magic he will turn to dust. However his entire life changes when he discovers he is from a long line of powerful magicians, and three beautiful girls begin chasing him for his "genes". Yuuna, Kuriko and Rin begin a competition for his superior DNA, and constantly throw themselves at the reluctant Kazuki. Together this group gets into all sorts of crazy situations forcing Kazuki to use his limited magic. This anime is very funny and oh so cute.

It is the complete collection containing all 24 episodes. The audio options are English or Japanese with subtitles for either. There is not much in the way of special features except trailers for other animes. Overall I think if you enjoyed animes like "Love Hina" or "Negima" you will like this anime.』

(Much like "Negima")
『It is no secret to those close to me that I'm a fan of "harem" anime.
Maburaho delivers that and much more. Magic, mayhem, laughter and love abound in this series.The story begins with a young Kazuki making it snow in summer time fulfilling the wish of a young girl he met on a bridge.
Years pass and Kazuki attends the Aoi Academy a school for first class magicians. He has one problem though, he can only perform magic a total of 8 times (well below the norm). To make things worse, his classmates ridicule/belittle him for this. Leaving school claiming illness, he returns to his dorm room to find a Yuna, the young girl from years before
inside wearing only under clothes (due to the heat of the day).

Needless to say, the reunion was less than hugs (immediately that is) LOL
They both screamed.
After this, it is revealed that his DNA/genes contains the makings for a greatest magician ever and other girls enter the picture seeking to get his genes. That is the entire premise of the story. However as the girls spend time with Kazuki, genuine affection develops which lead to tender moments.』

(Anime is great half way through the series)
『This anime is really funny up until midway through the series. Then it feels as if an entire new team of writers took over to finish it. Still worth watching though.』

(its ok)
『its ok, though sometimes you find yourself back tracking to try and understand the story.』

(Really enjoyable =))
『Anime titles these days do little to keep my interest. Nothing compares to Sailor Moon and the mystery factor that they have in each episode. I also enjoy Dragon Ball Z but one fight scene can drag across 6 episodes&it also contains a lot of characters just starring at one another waiting 4 something to happen.

Anyways this is a great series&resembles Harry Potter somewhat as they are all male warlocks&female witches with special powers so to speak&they go to an academy dedicated to people with magic powers. The main male character can only use his powers like 8 times and 3 girls want to be with him for his DNA but only 1 truly loves him. Anyways it's a fun show&lots of fun laughs with great dubbing as usual from the folks at ADV. Price tag was a big hefty but wait till it drops before you get it. Other then that i really enjoyed this title. It didn't have the ADDICTIVE factor like Sailor Moon but it had enough of it to keep me watching the next episode. Overall i liked it but the animation can seem a bit sloppy or amateurish at times as if the artist were 1st time animators as oppose to artist that have been in the industry for 10 years&have done tons of anime series.
』
『It’s Harry Potter meets I Dream of Jeannie! Kazuki is the biggest loser at wizard school. He can only use magic eight times in his life before he turns to dust. But his future son is destined to be the most powerful magician of all time. Enter three hotties determined to bear his child.』

(I was entertained, and I laughed)
『I watched this series by myself, and thought it was ok. I then watched it with some friends, and then thought it was great. It's not the high water mark of animie, but neither is most.

Is it super original? No. Does it make use of stock situations and characters? Yes. Is this an animie for everyone? Of course not, few are. But it's still good fun! Nothing very serious. It's a light hearted romantic comedy with a hint of mystery, and a heavy dose of wishful and wistful male teenage perversion (not quite Porky's, but pointed in that direction). There was a scene or two I could've done without. (Really could've done without!) There were a few `oh my gawd they didn't' moments, along with a buncha goofy silly funny moments, and even a sorta sad and reflective moment. There's lotsa fanservice, and it seems to increase as the series progresses. I have a feeling the show is tilted towards guys, but I do know a gal or two that liked the romantic angle.

Like I said previously, there's a bit of a mystery. On my first watching, I wasn't that observant, and missed a lot of (not at all subtle) clues. I think I enjoyed my second viewing more because I understood things better, and could see right away story elements I didn't realize the importance of to begin with.

Overall, I liked it, enjoyed it, and was sad when it ended. I found it to be a crowd pleaser, and that's always good too. For all intents and purposes, it did its' job. I wanted to be entertained and laugh, and I was entertained, and I laughed.
』

(It's fine for mindless "fan service" entertainment)
『This is a 3-disc DVD box set of the Green Green anime. However, the title of the set (Green Green Complete) is a bit misleading, because there is technically one more episode that was never released in the United States. Each disc contains four episodes of the series, as well as some extras ans trailers. The extras came from three character DVDs that were released in Japan back in 2003 and 2004; these extras include mini-episodes, music videos for "character songs," television spots, textless version of the opening, textless version of the closing, as well as three alternate closing sequences.

Green Green is ultimately mindless "fan service" entertainment, but it was done in such a way that it was enjoyable viewing. While this set may not necessarily be teeming with special features, it's worth picking up if you're a fan of the Green Green anime.』

(It's a one star because they do not have negative stars)
『This was just as bad if not worse than the first season of Dark Angel. I know it's improper to mix genres like that, but this anime was just plain bad. The plot is insipid and like a previous reviewer stated, I'll watch anything with Fan Service. Although this show had an abundance of Fan Service, I could not bear anymore half way through disc two. Most of the characters are contemptuous if not down right detestable and the plot is lacking severely. Please do yourselves a favor and avoid this anime like the plague.』

(Adolescent Drivel)
『If you want to watch a subpar plot, lots of breasts jiggling around ("boobies!" is the key word used throughout) and watching the 3 boys engaging in fantasy with each other then this anime is for you. (yes, it happened while locked in a room together, oh so painful!)

I endured pain throughout each episode hoping that it would get better, it didn't :( If they could have just dropped the first 10 episodes and kept the final ones, it would have been a much better series.

Seriously, watching three loser boys, looking through knot holes in a fence into the girls bath, and then getting caught, come on? Can't they come up with anything better?

If you just want fan service, then yes, by all means, please buy two copies, but there are so many other anime series you'll find entertaining, funny and yes, stimulating without having to endure 325 minutes of this adolescent drivel!
』

(I got it for $13)
『As my title shows I bought this for 13 bucks at Best Buy and couldn't pass it up. It really is a bunch of Horny guys trying to peep and the girls who came to their school for the summer. There were some parts with the guys that were really disturbing for me. The main characters were likable as well as the other girls. It wasn't until the last couple episodes that I actually became interested and the actual plot was revealed. It's OKAY for a starter Anime.』
『In ages past, a man and a woman tasted forbidden love. Even though they could not be together, they made a vow that would transcend time. When next they meet, their fire will rekindle. In modern day, there is a boy's academy located high in the mountains called Kanenone. Yuusuke is one of the reincarnated lovers, and a student at Kanenone. When an all-girls class is transferred to the school for a summer session, could one of them be his past romance?』

(Good anime.)
『I enjoyed this Anime collection very much. You can find other reviews that will tell you all you could want to know about the story and content. So in summation it was amusing and enjoyable.』

(self proclaimed Chobits expert)
『The Chobits boxed sets are a good deal. I only gave 4 stars because I had hoped the actual 'box' to be more artsy...ok, it's really because I despise the brown dress chi wears the first few episodes.
But the rest of her outfits do the dress justice. ^.^
Also, the episodes have artwork from the series, again, a little dissapointed. If you have bought the dvds individually, the boxed set doesn't have anything more to offer you than a nice dvd display case.
Don't get me wrong, I am fasinated by the whole anime, it's just that darn plain old brown dress she wears the first few scenes and on the box covers!>.

(When it gets here...)
『Part II was supposed to ship in January, but it has not. I really like Chobits, and the STL deal was great. It's good thing I'm not in a hurry to watch the DVDs. It's Feb. 3, I'm still waiting.』

Bounty hunter Roy Revant has seen it all, walking alone in this shattered city. That is, until the day a strange little girl named Solty falls from the sky straight into his heart. The search for family turns into a search for meaning and those that wield harsh power over society won’t go unnamed for long.

(a great end for the brave saga, but a half assed job)
『yuusha oh gaogaigar would have to be one of the best out of the 8 brave saga titles (and not because of the monster budget the anime had during production) as others have stated other sites are wrong about the second half being dubbed which be it the fault of the other sites or media blasters itself this is still a great title for fans of the giant mecha/hot blooded mecha anime style. picking up where the first box set left off the second half picks up the pace a bit with story and characters, but unfortunately it's slightly hard to enjoy. doing a thurough review of the anime quality and the dvd quality I've to say this, the quality of the anime is great but the quality of the DVDs are Sub standard with video and audio quality equivalent to that of an Old Vhs tape rip. the anime is hard to enjoy if your a big audio/videophile and can't stand bad quality with video and audio. though this anime did come out originally in 97 it's not excusable for poor video and audio quality especially since other anime companies have been known to digitally repair the audio and video qualities or atleast clean it up a bit on classic titles that they've re-released, main issues with audio is that the volume shifts slightly throughout each episode or stays at a constant high while the video quality stays at a constant old Vhs quality. all that aside the king of braves gaogaigar is well worth anyone's time and adding to their collection, just wait for another anniversary re-release and hope for a different company doing a better dubbing and possibly the release and dubbing of the OVA sequel yuusha oh gaogaigar final. the main reason why I push the fact of a better dubbing was due to the fact that media blasters hired voice actors/actresses from 4kids which many anime fans know don't do high quality work so actually watching the dub of the first half is rather painful if your big on dubbing with most of the characters and voice actors/actresses mismatched or stereotypically casted the fact that media blasters didn't finish the dubbing should be looked at as both a blessing and a pain in the neck. if your impatient and wish to get this anime go ahead just don't hope for a DVD replacement plan from media blasters in case of defective DVDs in which case amazon will be your best bet since media blaster's doesn't even support the idea of a DVD replacement program let alone a free DVD replacement program unlike funimation and bandai

:one side note: you don't even need to be a big anime fan to tell that the voice actors are from 4kids just watch a dozen or so episodes of a 4kids dubbed anime or two then watch king of braves gaogaigar part one and you'll pick them out right away especially if you've watched the first season of pokemon and yu gi oh. all in all great title plenty of action, comedy, drama, and story but poor quality and a half @##ed job in dubbing along with audio and video quality while still worth adding to anyones anime collection』

(Fun to watch)
『I have been a big fan of Japanese animation for a long time, but this was always one fo my favorites. I'm glad I got a chance to get the series before it was gone. I have missed a few in the past thinking "ill wait for it to go down in price" Bad idea, my advice, if you like it, buy it before it gets away.
The voice acting is good in this series, the only thing I wish they did was subtitle the names of locations when they are splashed on the screen, other than that it was great.
And one last thing

FINAL FUSION Complete!!!』

(GaoGaiGar box set 2)
『If you're a mecha fan, or know one who's into Japanese anime, GaoGaiGar box sets volume 1&2 are a great series to watch.

Just as a note: many sites are wrong about box set two being dubbed. Media Blasters did dub the first box set, but they did not do the second due to cost concerns and lower than expected sales for the GaoGaiGar series (which, in my opinion they did very little advertising for compared to the media blitz for Voltron).

So if you love it subtitled both sets are perfect! If you prefer a good dub (which MB did on the first set-it's one of the best dubs ever) box one will tickle you, but box two isn't dubbed so take that into consideration.

』

(A fitting farewell to the king of braves)
『Perhaps like me you have read the declarations online and in print of how GaoGaiGar is one of the best Mecha shows in existence. And perhaps also like me you rented or bought the first half of the show and were left wondering what they were talking about. Granted, the first half of the series has nice animation, good main characters, and a fantastic orchestral score. It's also essentially the same battles over and over again, to the point of monster-of-the-week overload. And then a very pleasant surprise.

This boxed set picks up just before the final battle of the first story arc. And a very nice battle it is, with GaoGaiGar having quite a showdown with Pizza of the four Machine Kings (yeah, so the name sounds ridiculous in English). And just when the last of the Zonders that have been harassing our heroes for so long are finally defeated, a new threat emerges that makes all the previous ones look like a walk in the park.

The 31 Primitives are basically the Zonder Masters, each one with a different strength that corresponds to a different part of the body. Naturally this leads to lots of fights just like the first half of the show, but the big difference here is that Pizza, before he was brainwashed into a Zonder General, was a warrior for the anti-zonder forces that fought an ancient war against them. And when he's reawakened as the man he was before, things go all Harlock (if you've never seen Arcadia of My Youth then think Alex Row from Last Exile or Captain Nemo from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). So basically he went from being a rough enemy who was really really fast to the captain of a giant space battleship that transforms! Along for the ride is one of the pint-sized green-haired hero's classmates, who like him also has mysterious anti-zonder powers.

What all of this means for you is that the show takes a major turn for the serious at this point, and comes to greatly resemble anime like Macross and Arcadia of My Youth in tone in parts, as the former Pizza (now calling himself King J-Der) takes on the forces of evil alongside GaoGaiGar.

The best part is undoubtedly the end of the series, where all questions are answered and a massive showdown takes place at Jupiter between all the heroes and every one of the Primitives combined. The explanation that the two kids with powers are the last of an ancient race, and that the one was the hope of his people and the other a weapon created to fight Zonders is the stuff that fanboys live for. Combine that with the death of Gai's father and his reuniting with his mother, and the death of King J-Der and the destruction of his battleship in the last desperate fight with the Zondarians, and you have one of the best Mecha show endings in history.

All that was plenty and I would have been satisfied, but the soft ending of the final episode that shows us a new Zonder type with no purpose but to destroy all life, inhabiting one of the characters we care about most. The final, FINAL battle is the emotional high point of the show, with all of the robot heroes being destroyed and being uploaded into the parts of GaoGaiGar in order to help Gai. The battle between the two giant Mecha, wherein GaiGaiGar is destroyed piece by piece, blow by blow, ends with Gai walking up to the woman he loves as his robot body disintegrates and she begs him to kill her before the Zonder inside destroys the world. And then a miracle happens and we have the perfect ending. For people who have followed the story this far, it's a fitting end to the King of the Braves.
』
『Gai, Galeon, Volfogg, ChoRyuJin, Goldymarg, Mic Sounders and Mamoru. These are brave heroes who hold fate of humanity in their hands! The Four Machine Kings finally take the fight to GGG personally while all of Tokyo is turned into an enormous Zonder metal plant. Before every person in the city is Zonderized, the brave robots must fight with everything they have, revealing Mic Sounder's true purpose, sacrificing one of their own, and even activating the ultimate weapon, Bullet X, which supercharges the G-Stones with the side effect of burning them out permanently! But they have to hold out against the original cause of the Zonders, Gai s space accident and the death of Mikoto's parents.』
