has anyone had any experience with this company? Really tempted but always weary of things that seem too good to be true

Has anyone ordered from them before??

Some of them look pretty nice, but they're OOS on a lot of the good stuff. They also dont have some of the first DVD's in the series, but they still have a big 9.99 selection.

If they're a reputable company, this is a good deal :)

I have a question: How can anybody like that stuff??? The voiceovers are so bad, it makes my gut hurt, the stories are strange and nonsensical (like the writer got a hold of some bad hash), and the characters always seem to over-react to everything (it's like every character is trying to emmulate William Shatner!). Other things I noticed:

1. There's almost always some futuristic society that has battle robots. Lasers and missles have no effect on them, but if a giant sword (???????) is used against them, they're done for. Why not just make the robot out of the same stuff the sword is made of? Why are they using giant swords in the first place?????
2. Why does everyone's hair (especially men's) look like Lisa Simpson's?
3. Why do the characters have to make a sound everytime they move (usually some kind of moaning, grunting, ooo-ahhing, etc)
4. CAN'T THEY SLOW DOWN THE DIALOG???? Everyone talks so fast with no pauses between sentances.....this alone would make the stuff more watchable! "Jolo!Youmustgotothecaves!NoIwillnotleaveyou!Runnow!Huhhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh!Can'ttunanymore.Imuststop..."

Fritz: not all anime is about invincible robots and the ppl in them and the near far distant future.
also, robots are the future...

and as for using swords to make robots, why don't the jedi's make shield's out of light sabers, or a gun that shoots light sabers, or a ship surrounded by might sabers, thereby making it invincible. even in jedi night II u can throw the light saber, they should do that in the movies though

I don't think that giant Samari robots that know kung fu are the future (I may be in the minority on this :roll;) . As for your Star Wars comparison, according to the Star Wars Tech Manual some guy had at work, light sabers are made by projecting energy though a rare crystal that projects a ray shaped force field when activated. Since the materials to make light sabers are rare, and only have certain properties, that explains why they're not used in other applications. I'm sorry, but I have a problem with a 40' battle bot in the year 2090 that uses a sword as a weapon. C'mon! Also, I noticed most anime has the same characters in it with different names: The leader, the rebel, the woman (usually a princess), the dumb loveable guy, and the outcast. It's like the same thing Hanna Barbara did with Scooby Doo, Jabber jaw, Speed Buggy, etc....they took the same characters and gave them different names/appearences. It's unbearable to watch.

hehe...Fritzo. I always wondered that myself.

Also, why do most of the males in anime look so feminine? Why is the most common facial expression always a disgruntled but determined look, as if their undies are riding a bit too high. Why are a lot of the plots bits and pieces stolen from Hollywood movies. Why are these unoriginal plots then recycled over and over? Why don't the characters ever look Asian, but instead are drawn with such huge eyes? And Uhh...when are they going to release real sequels of The Guyver, Speed Racer (Mach Go Go Go), Transformers, G-Force (ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman), Raideen, & Detonator Organ on DVD? :)

Because Japanese animators feel that the eyes are the most expressive part of the human body (very true), so they draw them biggest in order to convey emotions more easily. Notice the kids often have really big eyes; real babies have large heads compared to their bodies.

Agreed. Watch it in Japanese with subtitles, its much better and maybe you'll even learn a FOREIGN LANGUAGE!

the stories are strange and nonsensical
Click to expand...

Some are! Its a different culture they're pandering to, you know. Some of the stories are really good though. Some are good/some bad, kinda like Hollywood.

Why does everyone's hair (especially men's) look like Lisa Simpson's
Click to expand...

Because regular hair is boring! I do believe punk hair (pink and spiky) has been around for a long time anyway.


CAN'T THEY SLOW DOWN THE DIALOG???? Everyone talks so fast with no pauses between sentances.....this alone would make the stuff more watchable! "Jolo!Youmustgotothecaves!NoIwillnotleaveyou!Runnow!Huhhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh!Can'ttunanymore.Imuststop..."

Hehe quit watching Speed Racer! I think the Dexter's Lab parody of Speed Racer was hilarious.

I don't think that giant Samari robots that know kung fu are the future

Certainly not for military uses but I have no doubt that (non-giant) versions will be around for toy use. Besides, I doubt that 99% of TV shows and movies about the future are really going to come true.

Blah blah blah if someone really cared enough to make up a BS explanation for giant robot swords I bet they could do just as good a job with it ;-) I'm sure it took a Star Wars think tank a couple weeks to come up with that one!

Why are a lot of plots from Hollywood movies taken from other Hollywood movies? Why are they then used over and over?



It's fun to answer questions with more questions ;-)

Watch Trigun- only one giant robot in one episode and a story that changes in scope completely throughout the series.
