Customer Reviews

You Wouldn't Know It Was Filler.
An excellent story arc topped only by the next one. I think the reason the 2 bount arcs work better than the other filler arcs (the replacement captain and the zanpakto arc) is because they don't really interupt the flow of the story, they simply provide some action between aizen's betrayal and the emergence of the vizoreds and the arrancar.
My only complaint (and it is a small one) is that to me the bount don't really make good villans once you learn their backstory (with the exception of one or two).
Aside from that as I said before this and the following season are the more entertaining of bleach's filler arcs and make for fantastic viewing.

Love Hina Box Set [DVD]

Love Hina Box Set [DVD] review

Customer Reviews

a pleasure to watch
This Love Hina dvd box is well worth the expense: 24 episodes on 6 dvds with 2 mini documentaries among the extras (an interview with the director of the series and a glimpse at the making of the english audio dub). The adventures of Motoko, Shinobu, Kaolla, Mitsune, Haruka, Mutsumi and especially the relationship between Naru and Keitaro (which becomes more and more complex) is very entertaining. Even though lots of cliches show up (like being cought at the wrong moment on many occasions) it's been done with a humorous twist. There are also deeper and moving moments and sometimes even flashes of symbolism, which give the series that extra dimension. The excellent musical score and the various songs (like the moving ballad "Yakusoku") also contribute substancially.
Some scenes may not be suitable for very young children (there are some sexual references and a few "scary" moments); that is why the series is rated age 12 and up. However, this should not keep you from watching it, because all is brought with light-heartedness and it's really fun to watch!

Very good
This anime is very good and I highly recommend buying it.

A major downside to buying this though is, in my opinion the ending is to open and doesnt really come to any conclusion, also this DVD only has episodes 1 - 24 of the series, where there is in fact 25. There is also 3 longer episodes which are available on other DVDs so if you do end up liking this (and im sure you will!!) Just be prepared to spend a little extra to keep the story going and hope there is a proper ending!

Better than the books!
Konnichiwa!
I've been an anime/manga fan for quite a while now and always has been looking for new anime to enjoy, however when I started hearing things about Love Hina I decided to try out the book first too see whats the fuss is all about and oddly enough, I found the series to be more enjoyable than the books. I think for my reasons is because of the Japanese audio it gives it more of a better atmoshpere to it which fits well with the setting, so if your looking for a new anime series to join your dvd collection then "Love Hina" is the way to go!

D Gray Man - Series 1 Part 1 [DVD]

D Gray Man - Series 1 Part 1 [DVD] review

A Hero is only as good as His Enemies Darkness is moving in, and young exorcist Allen Walker is humanity s greatest hope against the wicked forces conspiring to bring civilization to its knees. Akuma - cruel spirits born of tragedy and lost souls - lurk in every shadow, willing and eager to do the bidding of their leader, the dread Millennium Earl. With an eye cursed to see evil in its truest form and blessed with an arm to slay soul-devouring demons, Allen stands ready to confront the gathering storm. Should he fail, Innocence will be lost forever.

My Favourite Anime Series
I'm not reviewing just this DVD but the whole series; the series has to start somewhere- the first DVD of course!

"Set in a fictional 19th century England, D.Gray-man is the story of Allen Walker, a 15-year-old boy who roams the earth in search of Innocence. Washed away to unknown parts of the world after The Great Flood, Innocence is the mysterious substance used to create weapons that obliterate demons known as akuma." (taken from the blurb of the manga). The Millenium Earl creates the akuma by visiting someone who has lost someone close to them and offers them a chance to bring them back to life. He creates a metal skeleton which is then ordered to kill the person wishing to resurrect them and live as them. They can transform into their natural state (a big metal thing with tons of guns sticking of it, well the Level Ones anyway)and kill. That's where the exorcists come in- to get rid of the akuma. I won't go into the characters because yu have to watch it to find out!

I can not recommend D.Gray-man enough as it is my favourite. You have to check out this anime and buy the other DVDs because you will not regret it. It contains action, comedy, romance (not that much but it is in a comedy way), fantasy, and a bit of horror as well, but if I can watch it then you won't be scared (HATE HORROR!).

Editorial Reviews

DVD Description
Celebrating 30 years since its TV debut, Roots: The Complete Collection brings together for the first time all the original episodes, sequels and extras of the award-winning series in one box set, comprising Roots: The Original Series 4-Disc Box Set, the 1979 sequel Roots: The Next Generation, and, for the first time on DVD, Roots: The Gift, a movie that focuses on the relationship between two of the slaves of the original series.

Based on Alex Haley's best-selling novel about his African ancestors, the acclaimed US TV mini-series Roots garnered widespread popularity in the 1970s and to this day remains one of the most watched programmes in history, with the ratings for the series finale still the third highest-rated US program of all time, (behind the final episode of MASH and the "Who Shot JR?" episode of Dallas).
Roots follows several generations in the lives of a slave family. The story begins with Kunta Kinte (played by LeVar Burton), a West African youth captured by slave traders and shipped to America in the 1700s. Torn from his homeland, stripped of his dignity, his rights and even his name, in torment and anguish he is brought to the slave markets of the new world. He tries, but fails, to escape before accepting he can never return to Africa. The film traces his life and those of his family, depicted up until the Civil War where Kunte Kinte's grandson gains emancipation. It captures generations of love, tears, pain, strife, sacrifice and happiness, reminding us of the resilience and resource of the human spirit even under crippling injustice. But Roots was more than just a quality drama, it had a wider impact on society. It persuaded American audiences to regard their history from a black perspective, and to see how--against odds far more desperate than those the pilgrims faced--Africans laid claim to their status as free African-Americans. It triggered a craze for genealogy and changed forever the way black people were depicted on TV.
