#1 Anime Show

I've seen alot of anime show but this one by far is the best one out there. I was out of my seet most of the time. I would defenetly recomend it to anyone who likes action, fantasy, comedy, drama, or even romance. The graphics are really good and its hard to find an anime show w/ it so hurry up and get it. But you should probably read the books first though.


And The Search For Joshua Continues....

Brought to us from Gonzo Studio (Full Metal Panic, etc.), they bring the much loved manga series "Chrono Crusade" by Daisuke Moriyama, to life. While the anime series is not exactly like the manga itself, I believe that Gonzo is doing a good job so far with the series.

Reaching the climatic ending of the series, Rosette, Chrono and Azmaria begin their journey to San Fransisco to search for Joshua Christopher. Along the way, many things and plot twists come to pass, making the story even more twisting to the viewers mind.

The relationship between Rosette and Chrono deepens over the mighty night time view of San Fransisco and we also learn more of Stella, the jewel witch, and of her scared past. Aion, as always, makes appearances and reveals more about his plot to destroy the world.

Though this anime is not well seen by some of Moriyama's fans, I believe Gonzo has done a very good job capturing the world of Chrono Crusade. Presenting the characters we know and love from the manga, Gonzo has brought the humor we have come to know them for. The indepth story of the battle between hell, heaven, and earth is presented in such an intense fashion. Also, the anime is drawn with quality and time.

Any anime fan should give this series a try! Good work Gonzo, looking foreword to volume 6!

hands down the BEST SHOW ON T.V., dog and his "family" are the most entertaining people on the tube. this mix of cop show and everyday life of dog and family gives you more than a little excitement,it shows you a family taht fights,yells,and other wise gets on each others nerves, but they come together in times of need and they always look out for each other no matter what. they even take pity on the people they bring in to jail. i really can't say why, but i never miss this show and was happy to find it on dvd.

Here come the meta-humans!
Rating (4)
Date: 2008-08-13

1 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful


Sometime in the near future, there is a new form of evolution occuring within human beings.

This next stage of human capabilities enable them to convert thoughts into psychic energy.

These beings or "metahumans" are also known as "E's". Despite having tremendous powers, they are also being viewed as a dangerous group by the population and are sought to be driven away.

These powerful human beings are the world's deadliest new weapons. Will they have the power to save people on earth? Or perhaps it may be destructive power which can lead humanity towards devastation. "E's Otherwise" is an adventure driven story surrounded by mystery, drama, and action.

Kai Kudo is a 15 year old member of the AESES special psychic force unit. He decides to help them with hopes of finding more research in finding a cure for Hikaru, his ailing beloved sister.

Even though Kai is a new member of AESES, he is receiving special treatment from Eiji, the head of the organization.

Members of AESES can not be oblivious to the fact that Kai is receiving this special treatment, therefore rivalry among the members commence.

In the the first episode, Kai arrives at Ashurum where he joins the elite AESIS unit. From there he receives training from Eiji with hopes of discovering more of his psychic potential.

In Ashurum, Kai meets with other characters such as Shen-Lon, Shen-Lu, Chris, Ruri, and Tsubaki. These members are all training together with hopes of finding and joining other "E's".

In the second episode, Kai is dispatched into his first mission. There is an attack in the city called Gald where Yuuki, a wandering fighter, meets an underground group of psychics.

Even though the city is supposed to be evacuated, Kai spots Yuuki and finds that there are still people trying to escape from the city.

From there they find this underground group of psychics who tell Yuuki he must find the Calvaria Sacrament, which is a key to the survival of "E's", as well as for human beings on the planet.

The artistic style of "E's Otherwise" is brilliantly done by Studio Pierrot.
Each member of AESES is created and detailed with brightness which is balanced by their uniforms which are reminiscent to Japanese and European military uniforms during World War II.

The music in "E's Otherwise" can be described as a futuristic rock combined with techno.

The opening theme song is an awesome techno dance track called "Jouhou" by Suitei Shojo.

The ending song is also a great music track called "Tonight-Midnight" by Chicochair.

As for the audio, the Japanese dialogue is done very well with also notable characteristics in the English dialogue track, although at some times the English voices did not seem to be as serious.

There are quite a number of extras on the DVD. This would include a clean opening and clean closing animation scenes, actual production sketches, Japanese promotion spots, ADV previews and DVD credits.

"E's Otherwise" is a great animation due to its creative artistic style combined with the action packed yet mysterious storyline.

The characters (each with their own unique psychic abilities) in the story are interesting in that each episode would fill in just a part of the story, meanwhile leaving the rest to our imaginations.

In the future the planet is run by a federation of twelve powerful corporations. Amid the general populous are psychics - metahumans capable of converting thought into energy. Known as "E's", these outcasts wield the power to control the world... or save it. When will they make up their minds, (I would destroy it)!

E's otherwise is a show that is bringing something new to the table. This is a very unique and original anime show with a great storyline, wonderful animation, and characters that are on point. A show that seems to be a sure masterpiece in the future It still has some pieces that make it kind of doubtful. In these first episodes there's good action but not enough for this type of series It doesn't have to be action packed but enough like in the witch hunter robin series. The story is pretty good this seems like a show that progresses into an addictive show that you can't wait to see. The animation really shows when the E's use their powerful minds to create holding cell's for criminals out of fountain water and fight physically and mentally either one can create major damage. In conclusion this show is good but not great it should get better after it gets deeper into the story the only major flaw in this is not enough action It needs to be not too much but not too little.


An Anime Masterpiece!!!!

To begin, this anime starts off very heavy and begins to turn into a light action series.

This anime is kind of like X-Men. There are a group of psychics (or mutants) who receives special assignments and during these assignments, they opposed by humans. A great relation to X-Men. This show offers many types interests. It contains action, love, comedy (especially the fifth episode). The story is very cool. I can't get over how upset I was to see how these psychics were treated in t he second episode. I won't spoil it because I know all anime fans will love this show. It contains five episodes. 125 mintues which is very rare these days. I can't believe how many episodes these companies have started to put on dvds. (ADVFILMS Gantz 2 episodes 50 mintues) It is completely ridiculous. But, I really have enjoyed this show. It is a action show, but after the first two episodes, this dvd goes to the emotional style of anime. Maybe I am wrong, but this underreated anime seems to be the best anime to come out so far this year next to Samurai Champloo.

If you like this. You will love S.Cry.Ed and if this is not serious enough. I recommend Gantz, but be warned, it is not for the soft stomach.

A Good Manga Turned into Garbage
Rating (1)

When I read the manga, before I got the anime, I thought "hmm...corporate but pretty, maybe they are preparing for a killer anime". Unfortunately not. The art in the anime is still very nice, but the plot and character development, which was very promising in the manga, seems to have been dropped on the cutting room floor.

Watch this in Japanese, without subtitles. You'll be better for it. Unless you understand spoken Japanese. Then there's always the mute button.

Better yet, buy the manga. It is very pretty.


Does not live up to the genre

I'm not sure how it became stylish to make fun on giant robots in anime but it has. I'm not sure how `Gun Parade March' rose to be considered above this genre but it did.

The giant robot genre is still one of interest, because like WWII movies there are always new versions of an old story. Here our giant robot hero pilots are Japanese teenagers conscripted to defend the earth from giant robot invaders. `Gun Parade March' equips itself with all the right tools, giant robots, alien invaders, teenagers, a boarding school. Like other hit anime of the genre like `Full Metal Panic' and `Gundam Wing' this formula should have worked. But it doesn't.

Unfortunately, `Gun Parade March' does not offer us a single interesting character, compelling situations or exciting battles. It is devoid of the most basic elements which make a story interesting. We don't care about the characters, so we cannot care about their battles. Even the fight scenes are boring.

With all the other great anime coming out right now in the giant robot genre and others, give `Gun Parade March' a pass.


This one proves that Japan loves classic American SF

Without giving much away, imagine the American film Starship Troopers, but this time with younger (16) soldiers. Then set it in Japan, adding in a previous alien invasion/war in 1945. Add mechs. Stir well. There you have it.

Very well executed, if you forgive the borrowing from Heinlein, as I do. The only thing that suffers is the fact that this is "just" an intro/setup for the whole story.

The best part is characterization. These young soldiers act realistically and don't come off as either stereotypical whiny teens or hard-boiled, emotionless vets.

If you want to see a really good translation of mediocre American film based on classic SF, this is the one to get.

Now, if there was a way to do Stranger in a Strange Land...

After hearing this was simuliar to Full Metal Panic!, I decided to check it out. I was expecting the usually plot.. Teenage kid who is afraid of the enemy learns that he or she has special abilities to save the world.. However, this is not the case. Sure there is a ton of simularities to this and FMP.. but this anime has enough differences to stick out. Instead of just one main character there seems to be several pilots it centers around. I'm looking forward to volume 2.

"Gunparade March", if you do some research on the title, was based on a Playstation game by SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc.) that came out in 2000. If you dig a bit further, you should find the series's review and how, because of the attrition from fighting the "Genjuu" beasts, teenaged students are now being called up to fight in HWTs (just think of these as the generic mobile suits in the Gundam universes) with Atsushi Hayami supposed to be a trump card in the war.

When I first read that review of the series, the first thing that came to mind was "Not another giant robot series with the main character, a teenager, discovering that he has some mysterious power or ability that lets him defeat his enemies!"

Very happily, "Gunparade March" failed to live up to that expectation.

Don't get me wrong, though; there is combat in the series - and they are done well - but those scenes are not in every episode. The series is more about people living their lives as best they could when monsters can appear out of nowhere and attack them as well as the high school students who, when the raid siren goes off, have to jump into their HWTs, go into combat, and oftentimes, die in the process. In other words, it's a series that has a great deal of interpersonal relationships involved.

A minor spoiler; a favorite and very sad scene of mine has a TV news anchor read the names and ages of those young kids who died in the day's fighting, and people passing along simply walk along as if they didn't even hear. Great emotional impact, I thought, with dusk and the rain falling, and the voice reading what seemed to be a never-ending list of names.

All in all, this is a great series that I highly recommend. I'm only giving four (actually 4 1/2 :-) stars to this disc as it, according to Media Blasters's website, carries the first four episodes, which provides the introduction to the storyline and characters. You don't really see why someone like Shibamura Mai (one of the main characters) would volunteer to join the armed forces as a pilot - at least, not yet.

Buy the first three discs, skip the last three
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-04-22


Otogi Zoshi is less one 26 episode series and more two 13 episode series. The first half takes place during Heian-era Japan and draws heavily from Japanese fairy tales. The second half transports the characters we have come to know and love into the modern era, but manages to utterly fail at retaining the charm of the first half of the series. Seriously, just buy the first half and pretend a second half was never made.


Another Production IG Masterpiece
Rating (5)
Date: 2005-12-16


Production IG, the company behind Blood: The Last Vampire and Ghost in the Shell has done it again. Those already familiar with the studio have come to expect a great deal from them, although they do slip up on occasion. (Kai Doh Maru...though I suspect that was really a simple experimentation on the part of the animation staff) But it would appear that their techniques were honed to perfection just in time for Otogi Zoshi.

Like all their productions, Otogi Zoshi has a very strong soundtrack, and their familiar 'RL' (Real Life) style of art manages to be luminous and jewel-toned even with a muted palette. Yet where Kai Doh Maru failed - lack of story and dialogue in spite of compelling subject material (The legend of the Kimiko) - Otogi Zoshi succeeds on every level. There's a little something for every kind of audience in this series: adventure, mystery, magic, action, romance...it's all present. The characters are extremely likeable and sympathetic: you can't help but NOT like them and empathise with their struggles. I am especially impressed by the strong and indomitable young heroine of the series, Lady Minamoto no Hikaru.

Finally, for the geeks and lovers of Japanese history and culture, there's a second disk that includes lectures on Japan's Heian period. (This switches to lectures on things such as architecture in the Tokyo arc of the series) I watched every single one of these extras - they go a long way to enriching the individual episodes. It is subtle touches like these that make Otogi Zoshi a series well worth owning. (In fact, get your hands on the soundtrack, too!)

I first saw the box for Otogi Zoshi a while ago and thinking that it would just be an anime based on the popular Xbox game I kept blowing it off. When I finally decided to actually read what it was about I became intrigued and now I am borderline obsessed. It has action which I will equate to that of Samurai Champloo (one of my favorites) and they have done their research as it shows quite beautifully. Note: Otogi Zoshi are short prose fiction. The characters are so vivid and have such captivating personalities. I have to also say that this is the best depiction of Abe no Seimei that I have seen in anime. To top it off they include lectures from Tokyo U to explain it all. If you love Japan, its history, or just think you do, buy it. If you love beautiful artwork, buy it. And if you love a good story that doesn't always have a happy ending, buy it!


Otogi Zoshi - Excellent historical anime!

Otogi Zoshi is set during Japan's Heian Era (794-1185) and is equal parts action, drama, and intrigue. Kyoto, the capital of ancient Japan has become a corrupt and run-down city, filled with self serving nobles, and onmyoji who only care about gaining political power. In the meantime, the city is suffering from famine and widespread disease.

Minamoto no Raiko, a reknowned archer and samurai is sent to recover a legendary gem called the magatama said to hold the power to restore the capital. But Raiko has fallen ill so his younger sister, Hikaru secretly assumes his identity and goes in his place. She and her loyal bodyguard Tsuna later meet new companions and have many exciting and dangerous adventures on the quest for the legendary magatama.

The animation is gorgeous to look at and the storytelling is superlative filled with lots of complex and memorable characters. The producers made special attention to historical details as you can see in the extra features section.

If you are looking for a change of pace from standard anime fare, this is definitely the series to watch. The main character is similar to "Kai Doh Maru" which I also have, but definitely this story is WAY superior of the two.

I highly recommend Otogi Zoshi to all anime fans, it is one of the BEST anime series out there!

biloxi blues in japan with giant robots and psionic aliens
Rating (4)
Date: 2006-11-15

2 out of 2 customers found this reveiw helpful


I just watched this title again after a long time and was reminded how fun and engaging it is. There is an interesting pacing where small town school events like a sports festival take equal importance to the fate of the world as a small group of psionic middle school kids deal with the burden of protecting the planet. In this series the universe is filled with many species of aliens, and earth is in a kind of political coventry, bring denied a place on the Galactic Federation - and yet taking a unique role as guardians of an extreme power which is coveted by many alien species. These are not the usual mindless ravening bugs from space so common in anime... you have some aliens who are diplomats, others who are spies, others who are covert invaders, and a few who try to help earth behind the scenes, and even political refugees... all set to a small town Japan which has just realized that aliens do exist. A lot going on. Yet the overall mood is peaceful and lazy, I keep being reminded of "Biloxie |Blues." If studio ghibli was to come out with a film about intrigues with aliens, it might turn out something like this. A fun and unique title, try it and see.

This is a story about the people of a small town and aliens. The aliens look like humans, but act just differently enough where something doesn't seem quite right. It really works and makes their different mental outlook really apparent. Mystery abounds and things are not as they seem. A great deal of effort is made by the whole town to make things seem normal like some sort of unspoken secret shared and ignored. The main character's calm acceptance of thing as they are, not as he expects, is a welcome change to the normal over-reactions I have seen. Of the many series coming out, I am most excited to see new episodes of this one.

This show was somewhat of a mystery. Based on the title, it sounded like a sci-fi show, which it is. But it is more than just a sci-fi show. It presents a vision of a future (year 2070) that looks. . . very much like the present, with minor adjustments here and there.

The basic theme for Shingu is to explore the world around you. And the episodes in this first disc does just that. The show revolves around an inquisitive Japanese high school student named Hajime Murata, who seems like a typical nerd; he wears glasses, looks weak, and is the class representative. Like the rest of the cast (people in school), Hajime is more than what he appears to be.

This show seems to have it all: student rivalry, fights involving superhuman powers, robot-like entities, and alien intrigue worthy of a typical episode of the X-Files. Shingu presents a very interesting view of the future, and you will get drawn into it as much as Hajime will.

The Right Stuf International did a fantastic job with the packaging on this release. The dvd itself has a nifty blue and white imprint on it, and there is also a 12 pages COLORED production notes booklet that explains cultural references within the show, along with some production sketches of the school. The dvd cover is reversible (one side in Japanese, the other side in English). Sound is in Dolby Digital. Unfortunately, the video is in 4:3. There are five episodes included in the first disc.

The boxed edition of Shingu comes with a VERY thick, sturdy box to hold all five volumes in the series. It also comes with a light grey, XL sized cotton t-shirt.

This series is rated for ages 7 and up, and I find that it is indeed suitable for young kids. At the same time, Shingu also appeals to older audiences, including adults.
