(Fantastic!) 『I bought the first season of Rurouni Kenshin and was rather drawn between liking and disliking it - season 1 stuck to the manga version pretty closely for half the season, but the filler episodes about killed me...
After purchasing and watching the second season of RK, I just about died of happiness. The Kyoto arc really does follow the manga rather well, and for that I was most ecstatic. Each episode was packed with amazing animation, beautiful artwork, thrilling stories, and marvelous dialogue. I highly recommend this season/box set to Rurouni Kenshin fans!』
(Just so darn much fun, but try to get a good copy...) 『Season Two is much better than Season One, which was good, but two involves more action, intrigue and adventure. I think this series is appropriate for older children, although there are people killed by swords, and blood appears in a cartoony way, but it teaches good morals and offers lessons in being strong and kind. (You don't get much morality in modern American cartoons...) If you like classic samurai movies, you will like this. It's quite thoughtful. But be careful where and how you buy this multi-dvd set, because mine largely fell out of the case when opened, and won't fix on their little holders, and two out of eight so far either won't play or are a struggle and freeze up. It's worth any difficulty though. I'm going to buy it again until I get a workable set! Very bad production quality on this!』
(WOW) 『Pros - Great Anime (the best) (10 outa 5) - The BEst Of The Three - WAtsuki Still Rocks - One of the best anime plots of all time
Cons - Shipping -Worse than kenshin season one - a disc could possibly not have data cuz shipping - 90 dollars umm a little expensive (need to lower to 70 cause of the bad Shipping)
Wait till you see a good new under the used and new!』
(An excellent example of a good anime tv show.) 『I thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the episodes of this season of Rurouni Kenshin. I appreciate that the show teaches that justice can be achieved without killing people. I used the warehousedeals seller from Amazon. The item arrived in the same condition described in the comment for the item.』 『Movie DVD』 『The 34 episodes in this eight-disc set make up the "Kyoto" arc of the popular martial arts adventure-comedy. The tone of the narrative has darkened since the introductory story (Rurouni Kenshin: Wandering Samurai). When the forces of the Tokugawa Shogunate were defeated by the Imperialists 10 years earlier, Kenshin Himura abandoned his identity as Battousai the Manslayer. Makoto Shishio succeeded him as the country's deadliest assassin. Government agents captured Shishio, and although he survived a botched execution, an attempt to incinerate his body left him hideously scarred. Shishio has assembled a private army to overthrow the Meiji government and make himself ruler of Japan. Can Kenshin keep his oath never to kill again, or must he once again become a murderer to prevent a civil war? Kenshin's internal struggle is complicated by Seiko, his arrogant formersensei; Aoshi, the ex-commander of the Oniwaban; and Saito, a police officer who may be a friend, rival, and/or enemy. The drama and violence are played against the broad comedy of the cast of friends Kenshin made in Tokyo in the previous continuity: Kaoru, Yahiko, Sanosuke, Megumi. Yahiko tries to emulate Kenshin, clobbering an opponent as he shouts, "Hiten Mitsurugistyle--or close to it, anyway!"
Director Kazuhiro Furuhashi stages the sword fights and martial arts duels with panache, using rapid cutting, split-screen, and reversed colors to heighten the excitement. But the filmmakers stress that the spiritual aspects of the samurai tradition ofbushidooutweigh mere physical skills. Kenshin's inner nobility triumphs over Shishio's commitment to a misguided social Darwinism. The emphasis on internal conflict demands nuanced performances from the vocal cast. As Kenshin, Richard Hayworth finds subtle transitions between the warm, slightly goofy Kenshin and the implacable warrior who once terrified Kyoto. This depth and complexity of characterization givesRurouni Kenshina resonance lacking in animation that pits blandly virtuous heroes against cackling villains. TheLegend of Kyotoset makes it clear whyRurouni Kenshinremains one of the best-loved anime continuities of all time. (Rated 13 and older: violence, alcohol and tobacco use)--Charles Solomon』

But I will say that after watching the whole series through I changed my mind about it. It had a very original story behind it. A post apocalyptic world where wolves are believed to have been hunted to extinction by the Nobles (a ruling class in the world who still remember some of the old science from before the Apocalypse) because of a story that claims that the door to "Paradise" will only be found by wolves and once they find paradise the world we know will end. However the wolves are not extinct, they just learned how to make themselves appear human. The story follows Kiba and three other wolves, who follow him for differing reasons, as they make their way out of the city in search of paradise. Along the way there are a few human characters that have big parts in the show as well and they all do the usual human thing of having realizations about the problems that humanity caused or being just plain crazy. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who is either a true anime fan or people who like anime that is specifically about the trials and tribulations of man, since the wolves are usually seen in human form and deal with very human like problems. And if you aren't sure whether you would or wouldn't like this anime I would suggest renting it from netflix or borrowing from someone you know who already has it because I am pretty sure that once you see the show you will buy it. And if not I guess this type of show just isn't for you.』
(Wolf's Rain - Perfect Collection) 『I bought these CDs for my daughter, she is 9, and she really enjoyed the series. The art work is great and the flow of the episodes themselves is good. I feel that the story can be a little corny and over dramatic at times. However, I have watched other Anime movies and shows and that is normal. I bought it for my daughter so was a little hesitant because I know that Anime can be very violent at times but the violence in this series is not that bad. As mentioned earlier the art work is very good and the story is easy to follow and holds your interest . Overall I would rate the item w/ 4 out of 5 stars.』
(A must have for all Otaku) 『Delivery was fast and the product is perfect. This is one of my favorites and I am excited to now have it in my collection. Thank you!』
(Great Series, Terrible Packaging) 『Wolf's Rain is one of the better series in anime. Lots of deeper meaning, beautiful animation... The only real problem I had with this boxed set was the flimsy plastic that held it together. I'm not sure how they fit a 7 disc set into it honestly. It arrived with a piece that held it together broken off inside. Also, the outer box had a crack in it. Besides Ebay, you can't beat getting this whole series for 35 dollars, but be aware of the possible poor condition it may come in.』
(Wolf's Rain: An Amazing Story) 『Wolf's Rain is an anime that describes the adventures of four wolves in a post-apocalyptic setting who can take the shape of human beings to hide from people. The artwork is dazzling: detailed, well-animated wolves running through surreal, futuristic landscapes are breathtaking to watch. The musical score, composed by the deservingly well-reputed Yoko Konno, is haunting and bittersweet. And the plot is a tense, riveting roller-coaster ride, containing touching moments and wise messages too multi-faceted to be summarized in words. I can't remember a story that touched me in the same way Wolf's Rain did.
The four main wolf characters in this story conceal themselves as humans, for they are being hunted by many sinister forces. With the help of a creation known as Cheza, they are searching for a fabled land where they can be free to be themselves again without fear. Their yearning for this place carries them on. Throughout their travels, they encounter many downtrodden and disillusioned characters who appear to have no hope left. The faith the wolves possess is often challenged by such characters, as well as by the undeniable state of the conflicted, war-torn world around them.
Wolf's Rain is not a simplistic idealist's story. It is a dark tale meant for mature audiences, and its intonations of hope are mostly subtle. It contains some violent scenes; the wolves are often beaten into pulps by their adversaries, and sometimes they themselves deal damage to humans. Though we come to care deeply for the main characters as they develop over the course of the story, moments of peace for these characters are few and far-between. The implications of the last episodes are ambiguous, deep, and philosophically far-reaching. Wolf's Rain leaves us with the hope of a better future despite the horrors and pain of current circumstances.』 『Studio: Infinity Resources Inc Release Date: 04/07/2009』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The Second Set While A Little More Entertaining Is Also More Irritating Too) 『The second set of the series seems to have been done to more rush a conclusion to the series than anything else and while the episodes in this set were more enjoyable to watch as you see Renton and the other s form a better bond it still left you somewhat aggravated as well with how they choose to end the series too. The final 25 episodes tell us what's been truly going on and why the different factions are fighting each other and the real reasons for it, also this set has even more darker episodes as Renton will see the consequences of his choices as some people he has feelings for are killed or put into danger and realizes that the fantasy he had of the life outside his seemingly boring town aren't what he thought it would be like he will also learn that Eureka the girl he loves has a dark and somewhat sinister path he never would have thought about her having. The set also has a few comedic episodes but all in all keeps with the serious dramatic episodes for most of the series, again the animation is a love it or hate it call and is you prefer the kind of animation from series like Full Metal Panic or Gundam Seed/Destiny than this series animation might not be for you but regardless the voice cast for both the dubbed and subbed played their roles perfectly for their characters. The extras are pretty much the same with the first box set of the series an not much else but again for the price that's pretty forgivable so if you've already bought the first set than complete your collection and get the second set for your anime collection of this entertaining but somewhat of a headache series...』
(grat show) 『eureka 7 is a grat show to biging to it a moust see for any anime fan and the end will blow you away so dont mis this one』
(Uberly awesome.) 『Ive never cried to an anime show, and this series moved me a great deal to tears.』
(Possibly the Greatest Anime Series Ever) 『If you have never seen Eureka 7 you need to see it, period. If you are a fan of Evangelion, you need to see it, period. If you love crazy mecha action, you need to see it, period.
I'm not kidding. This show has me thinking . . . . dare I even say it. . . that it is even better than my beloved Evangelion. I never thought there would be anything that could ever come along that would make me even suffer a fleeting thought like that but with Eureka 7, my mind has been flooded with that realization. . . . Eureka 7 may be the greatest anime series of all-time.
Now it has to be said, there are a lot of similarities between Eva and Eureka 7, and you can tell that BONES was highly influenced when creating this story by the classic Angel series. How only the "chosen" can pilot the Nirvash (just like the 1st, 2nd and 3rd child in Eva) and there seems at least at the beginning to be another alien race that wants to destroy mankind (like the Angels in Eva) and that the subject of rebirth for mankind (the Third Impact). But Eureka 7 seems to run with these themes and tie them all together with one of the most heart-wrenching love stories I have ever seen. Pure brilliance.
And I have to say that I have watched the series both with the Eng subtitles and with the Eng dub and I have to say the English translation on the dub is great and perhaps delivers an even more moving performance from the voice actors.
I have never teared up more at an anime. Weird. What always got to me was during the English dub at the end of every episode Renton and Eureka would both say in unison "To be continued. . ." but in a way and tone that reflects how the episode ends emotionally. At the end of many episodes they sounded happy, chipper, excited, relieved, worried. . . it really let you know how the characters were feeling.
But what really got to me was the end of episode 47 I think. They had such a sound of hopelessness in their voices like everything was done. . . and then at the end of episode 49 . . . there was only Renton uttering those words. I have never been more emotionally invested in the characters of an anime series in my life and it may be because they reel you in with 50 episodes!

(Nine = Suffering) 『Interesting - a bit of insight on the choice of the name Section 9?
From a Yahoo News story: Why 09/09/09 Is So Special
In Japanese, the word for nine is a homophone for the word for suffering, so the number is considered highly unlucky - second only to four, which sounds like death.
Many Japanese will go so far as to avoid room numbers including nine at hotels or hospitals, if the building planners haven't already eliminated them altogether.』

Although its production values are lower, and director Kenji Kamiyama never matches Oshii's inspired camerawork,Stand Alone Complexdoes an impressive job of recreating the setting and characters. With the help of the other officers from Public Security Section 9, Kusanagi moves through a deadly city ofmecha, cyborgs, humans, and human-prosthetic hybrids. Batou emerges as a more complex and compelling character in the TV series than he was inGhost in the Shell II: Innocence: He engages the other characters, instead of endlessly quoting philosophers.
Politics and cyber-espionage collide in a somewhat tangled plot that centers on the pursuit of The Laughing Man, anüber-hacker whose pseudonym is linked to J.D. Salinger's 1949 story of the same name. The master cyber-criminal leads Kusanagi and Batou into a web of murder and deceit involving bogus cures for "cyberbrain sclerosis" and corrupt government ministers. In the secondary story, the Tachikomas, crab-like robots used by Section 9, develop personalities and an awareness of their existence. The Tachikomas recognize some of the implications of their growing consciousness, but their childish voices--modeled after the performance of Japanese actress Akiko Tamagawa--sound odd discussing philosophical questions. Not surprisingly, the story ends with Kusanagi, Batou, et al. tackling a new case that leads into the2nd Gig.

(The Series That Sparked My Interest.) 『Beleive Or Not Growing up&watching Toonami, Gundam Wing was the show that introduced my brother&I to the Gundam franchise, and look at us now!! We know almost everything about the sereis! I thought that human beings piloting giant coolest looking (EVER) robots was the coolest thing i've ever seen! Now Gundam Wing was always appealing to me, most notably for the gundams and their designs. Wing Zero was always to me the best looking one, with the strongest weapon (Twin Buster Rifle) that produces a shot powreful enough to destroy a whole colony. Deathsythe, comes in second, with it's stealth abilities, and those wings were the bomb growning up, and the sythe with the green laser blade just added to it all. Shenlong Gundam, was eye candy for sure with thoses loud colors, and the dragon arm extending things, those were cool. Heavy Arms, was always badass, because people gave that thing the nick name of "Weapon Of Mass Destruction" Because of it's huge arsenal of fire power at it's disposal, most notably the double gattling gun it carries on its right arm. Sandrock was.....ok. It killed alot of enemy mobile suits. Now to the characters.
Herro Yui, 15 years old, The boy from space. Herro came off to me as one of the coolest characters i've seen seince DBZ's Goku. He was the strongest of course, and did what HE wanted to do, and always got the job done.
Duo Maxwell, also 15, the self proclaimed "God Of Death", that guy was always on my favorate anime character list. Duo was always the fiesty one, and was pretty handy in a mobile suit.
Wufei Chang, the martial arts master, age 16. Wufei was ok, but the guy always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder what with all the rivals and crap.
Trowa Barton the nameless soilder, age 16, Never really spoke so I don't know what really to say about him.....He's ok.
Quatre Wababa Winner, The Arab pasifist, age 15, Quatre was pretty laid back, though he was laways there when his freinds needed him, and don't let his Pasifist life style fool you, this kid has the skills to take out a wave of Enemy mobile suits by himself, and not give a care who you were with, as long as it contributed to peace, he was the one to do it.

(Best Series Ever!!!) 『Many years ago Robotech was shown in my country as regular TV series, however, due to its grown up, complex story and violent scenes, most of its story was cut and you could hardly understand the story, fine for a 5 year old but not for more hardcore fans like myself. When I saw the protoculture collection I was speechless, I could not believe that my most beloved anime series of all time was at the grasp of my hand and I was not dissapointed!!, not only was I able to see the entire story as it was intended to be but the dvds are packaged beautifully, each season on its separate box with index. The dvds pretty much follow the same format, but they have been digitally remastered, the soundtrack is perfect and you can choose between english and/or spanish for language (if you can choose english as the spanish translations is a little bit off sometimes).

Overall, I find the collection completely addictive and find my bedtime getting later and later as I push for "just one more".
From the non-collector/fanatic perspective, I can't complain about the quality, packaging, new title sequence (theme music survived and that is what I remember), etc. It is just good fun.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (to reduce some confusion) 『to reduce confusion of Astro Boy DVD series, please note that there have been 3 series so far: the Black and White 1963 series, the 1980 First Color version, and the 2003 Color version with different stories.
The black and white 1963 version has 193 episodes.
The 1980 version has 52 episodes for the Japanese version, with the first and second episodes merged and cut into 1 episode as the US version. The birth of the character Atlas is removed in the US version. As a result, the US version only has 51 episodes.
The 2003 version has 50 episodes. This version once again has one more episode in the Japanese version. The US version has 1 episode less, which is replaced by a "clip show episode". (probably meaning frame by frame). Personally, I think the 1980 version is slightly cuter than the 2003 version. The 2003 version is more lavish.
More information can be found on Wikipedia: use the keyword Astro Boy, and then try Astro Boy 1980 and Astro Boy 2003』

It's missing one episode that I know of that was called Atom boy the eternal boy this would've been given a different name in english. I found it on youtube what tipped me off was the opening on the series I brought showing a kid on a flying wheel chair but there was no story in the disc set that covered it. I grew up with Astro boy and I'm glad that they're trying to bring it back. They stayed true to the original drawing design and yet gave it a fresh modern look and a good story line as far as I'm concerned. Seeing it in color for the first time was great.

(Astro Boy - The Complete Series) 『"Astro Boy - The Complete Series" is the best Japanese color anime treatment of Astro Boy, based on the work of the legendary manga and anime artist, Osamu Tezuka. Tezuka's work in manga and anime is unparalleld and stands alone in style and substance in this graphic Japanese genre. He is without peer in the entire ouvre of his work, especially with "Astro Boy - The Complete Series." He is in a class of his own. This is why he richly deserves the subriquette "The Walt Disney of Japan." I would heartily recommend "Astro Boy - The Complete Series" and all other works of Tezuka's which he produced over his illustrious lifetime.』 『Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 04/25/2006 Run time: 1010 minutes Rating: Nr』 『When Osamu Tezuka createdTetsuwan Atom(literallyIron-arm Atom) a.k.a. Astro Boy, he set his birthdate as April 7, 2003--51 years after the initial manga and 40 years after the groundbreaking television series debuted. Sony produced this third incarnation in 2003, and a few episodes aired on American TV in 2004. A combination of drawn and computer-generated animation, the new version is far more lavish than the initial black-and-white series or the 1980 color remake. The artists strive to preserve Tezuka's drawing style, keeping Astro's outsized eyes and Dr. O'Shay's pickle nose. Spaceships and other robots float effortlessly by, but Astro's legs shoot old-fashioned rocket flairs.
The newly born Astro is a complete innocent, but as he explores various aspects of the world, he develops a strong sense of purpose, aiding those in need. His state-of-the-art brain includeskokoro, which can be translated as "heart," "spirit," or "will," which makes him more human. The conflict between humans and robots--which some critics have interpreted as a metaphor for racism distinguishes--escalates into a battle at the city of Robotonia in Antarctica. Astro strives to make peace between the hostile factions, although many of the conflicts were sparked by Dr. Tenma, who originally created him. Although visually appealing, this lush reinterpretation lacks the gritty charm of Tezuka's low-budget original. The only extra is a short "remaking of"; the dialogue is dubbed in English, Spanish, and Portuguese--but not Japanese. (Unrated, suitable for ages 8 and older: cartoon violence)--Charles Solomon』

(Better than satisfactory) 『At first I was leery about buying an out of production DVD set, but this arrived exactly as advertised. All DVDs were accounted for and in great condition, no less, in the languages as promised. I've since watched the whole season and can tell you the physical quality is great.
As for content, I was pleased with the show, but I think you can find better. I was looking for a classic sci-fi anime, and I'm afraid this isn't it just yet. I was hoping for some high intensity space battles that challenged my imagination, and I might say they could have been better. The ground fighting was very cool, however, and I like how they incorporated magic into the show.
The characters were likeable and worked well as a team, but sometimes their behavior was a little predictable. Gene Starwind has a light case of Goku syndrome where he never fails to save the day, though he does it with a lot more style and edge than Goku of DragonBall Z. Interestingly my favorite character Suzuka has the fewest lines; I guess they're just more poignant.
I'll watch the series again, no doubt, but if you're looking for Star Wars quality story and creativity (IV, V,&VI), this is one step short. 4/5』
(Great series, bad DVD quality.) 『The series is great, however the quality of product I received is poor. I received a brand new, sealed set, however disks 1 and 3 came damaged and unreadable. This is very disappointing, since now I'll have to download the episodes that I'm missing. Don't let my review deter you from purchasing though, since I'm sure I just got unlucky.』
(Outlaw Star: Complete Collection) 『I love this series! This is a fabulous East meets West style Space Western. Collection includes a couple episodes that did not make it to the Cartoon Network release for some obvious reasons. Worth the buy.
I bought this box and was not at all dissappointed. It's a 1pc DVD case that has pages for the DVDs inside. It's not your normal box collection.』
(Awesome!) 『This show is one of my favorites. I love to watch it. I received it quickly and timely.』 『Gene Starwind and his partner Jim Hawking run a small business on the backwater planet of Centinel 3. But all that changes the day that Hilda hires them for a bodyguard job. Now, thrust into a mystery they don't fully understand, they're on the run from the cops, the pirates, an angry alien, and a mysterious assassin. But they've got one thing going in their favor- they have the galaxy's most advanced ship! As seen on Cartoon Network's Toonami! This title from Sunrise, the people behind Cowboy Bebop and Gundam. Genre: Anime Sci-Fi/Action.』
