Oh My Goddess! DVD 1 (Hyb)
Recent reviews of titles here: X TV Series DVD Box Set 1 (Hyb) (Discs 1-4)Machelle Klaus - Dec 2 2009 bewitchingly_beautiful@msn.com Rating: Pretty good! One of CLAMP's best worksto date, with an impressive bit of packaging I've been a fan of X for nearly 3 years, so I already knew I would enjoy the series before I got it. Based on its manga predecessor, X is, in my opinion, one of CLAMP's most solid, intriguing, original and gorgeously illustrated works. The studio did a fair job translating the manga onto the screen (far better than the movie)and went the extra mile to make sure every character got their time to shine. The problem with this, unique to the anime, is that there is a ginormous cast to include, and at times, some characters suffer for lack of development. Also, due to the manga still being unfinished, an ending had to be written especially for the anime. As for the actual sets and packaging, I was highly impressed. The box sleeves are of very good quality and sturdy, and contain some lovely illustrations. The characters guide included is pretty spiffy as well. My only complaint is about the disc extras, which are lackluster at best. The Director Interview, I had to wonder if he even knew half the time what series he was reviewing. He spoke of it in such broad, generic and watered down terms, that take out names (and he only mentions Kamui and Kotori through the ENTIRE thing) and he could easily be talking about show. Angel Blade Returns DVD (Hyb) Adult Freddie Merck - Dec 2 2009 Rating: "Okay." Not as good as volume 1 This volume contains only one episode (#3), and it really wasn't even that good. Of course, depending on your tastes you might actually like it, but I felt the first two episodes were much better. Technically there's nothing wrong with this episode; the art, animation, and audio are all fantastic. However this episode seems rather bland, and if you care about the story... it doesn't really make any progress in that area. This volume does include a rather lengthy recap of the first two episodes with all the juicy scenes, but if you've already seen those episodes it's not much of a bonus. To be honest, there was no reason to release this series as 2 volumes because episode 3 should have just been included on the first DVD. I would only recommend this volume if you're a collector. |
