Okay, well kind of !!
The first DVD tells us an earlier story which will play into the rest of the story toward the end, Unfortunately we have to sit thru a story that is so over dramatized which is just torture to watch.

But DVD’s 2 thru 6 are a lot more normal as far as storyline goes. The animation is pretty good.

OK back to the storyline now. It starts out good with a father who is basically a long hauling tucker in outer space who is feeling guilty for not spending the time he should have with his kids, he even gets a book on how to be a better father. So this is an action adventure with a touch of humor – so far so good. He picks up a cargo to haul from a questionable guy and this is when his troubles begin as both Earth and Mars wants him in jail because of this cargo - also OK.

But as the storyline moves along it becomes rather predictable and just worn out, it starts to get a little to ” goodie goodie” feeling for me. At this point on the only audience that would enjoy this is the 12 yrs old and younger if you know what I mean.

I would like to advise you pick this up and try it but I just can’t. But the last two people who reviewed this said it was WONDERFUL so who am I in the world of reviewing Anime??? Take your chances, you may like it and if you do PLEASE write a review.

Another mobile suit story...
I originally picked up this title because I was a fan of the Zone of Enders video game on PS2. Boy was I surprised when I learned this series has pretty much NOTHING to do with the game! While there are mentions of the events in the video game, beyond that there are no real connections.

On it's own, Z.O.E. doesn't really have too much to offer. It's another typical piloted robot story. The only original point it has is this was the first series I've seen where teenagers aren't expected to determine the fate of the world. Besides that, though, there's nothing really NEW here.

But if you're a fan of the whole one-man-against-the-universe kind of stories, then you'll probably enjoy this title.

Its ok
The series in the beginning is good, until they introduce the big bad final enemy. At this point they try to cram the whole "save the universe" story into 8 episodes, which leads to nothing more than a weak plot that deserves better. Not worth the price, just get a Gundam series instead.
