I used to love Sailor Moon but i lost interest in it very very quickly, however i still really enjoy listening to the soundtrack! You don't have to love Sailor Moon to be able to enjoy the CD!!!

I got this CD because I wanted everything I could get that involves Kimba the White Lion. And so I got exposed to a big collection of Japanese TV theme songs from the 60s and 70s. Most of them are very good pop tunes and are a lot of fun to listen to even when I have never seen the show. Actually, hearing the themes has made me want to track down some of the shows involved. The recordings are all very fresh-sounding and well-transferred to CD.  If it matters, the first 13 tracks are in mono; tracks 14-18 are in stereo. I'd rather have it that way than to have the older recordings tricked up to "simulate" stereo.

A lot of good Japanese pop with a purpose.

If you are a fan of the Naruto anime series then this CD is for you!!  It contains 22 tracks - of them 20 are instrumental and 2 have Japanese vocals.  Of the instrumental tunes - the ones that stand out as exceptional are:

- Sadness and Sorrow
- Loneliness
- Glued State
- Naruto's Main Theme
- Morning

There are 3 instrumental tracks that are the more "playful" sounds of the anime.  I personally don't care for them but many other people might enjoy them.

The 2 songs with Japanese vocals are: R*O*C*K*S and WIND.  ROCKS sounds like a flashback to the 1980's but it is listen-able.  WIND is an amazing song that was the 1st ending in the Japanese version of the anime.  It is a heartfelt song that makes you think about Naruto's painful childhood.

Out of the 3 Naruto Original Soundtracks (OST) - Volume 1 is the best!  I strongly recommend it to Naruto fans and anime lovers alike!

Eureka Seven is one of those anime that has everything going for it. Heck, it could have stood up to even the greatest anime out with the animation quality alone. But add in the excellent soundtrack and it propels this anime right into the mix of Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, and FLCL. It covers nearly every sound known to man, and in the anime it perfectly matches the mood of every scene, whether it be tense or heartfelt. So, obviously, a soundtrack release would be a perfect compliment to the anime release.

And here it is. Boy is it a beast. After two discs and 45 tracks later, I'm still not sure that I can remember half of the songs I heard. I do know that I skipped very few along the way. I also noticed that the CDs seem to follow patterns. The first CD opens with the opening credits edited version, has one more song with lyrics, then goes into a series of orchestral instrumentals, followed by some techno, then a few funny tracks, then some rather tense instrumentals, and finally some rising, inspirational instrumentals before the closing ending credits edit song. The second, smaller CD, opens and ends the same as the first CD, with the alternate opening and ending credit songs. After that a lot of serious instrumental tracks follow until a brief techno track interrupts everything for a moment. While I'd say the first CD is more varied, the second CD still has a few tracks worth listening to, especially later on.

Most people may have already gotten this soundtrack in the special edition of the first volume of the anime. If you haven't gotten this yet, and love the anime and, more importantly, like anime soundtracks, then I'd recommend this collection to you. The sheer volume of tracks alone guarantees that at least a few of the songs will catch your interest, but I'll personally guarantee that you'll enjoy far more than that.

While you'll hear fans of the manga of the same name say how disappointed they are with this anime, it has got to be arguably one of the better ones in my collection. The story is not overly complex, but contains some subtle  points that I'll admit I missed until watching it again most recently; most  definitely, you will want to watch the Japanese dub (with English  subtitles, if needed), as it contains most of the finer points the English  version misses. The animation is not hyper-realistic, but, then again, it  is not supposed to be; there is a delightful cartoonish quality about the  whole piece. It is this quality that allows for quite a bit of visual  humor. Keep as notice, though, that there is some adult humor in here as  well that may offend some, but it all lends itself to the humor of the  movie. Overall, I'd have to rate this as one of my favorite anime; it's a  good two-hour romp filled with tanks, more tanks, explosions, accidental  urban renewal, and all of it in good fun.

There are only 7 tracks on this cd, but being a huge fan of everything Saiyuki, I was still excited when I came across this collection. I am familiar with much of the music from the series. I especially love all of the image songs. This is a good cd. Seki Toshihiko has a nice voice. He is my favorite Japanese voice actor. He provides the voices for many of my favorite characters like Iruka Sensei from Naruto, Takaya from Mirage of Blaze, Benitora from Samurai Deeper Kyo, and Riki from Ai no Kusabi just to name a few. Sanzo is by far my favorite character that he does.

Even though there are only 7 tracks on this cd, I give it 5 stars and do recommend it to any Saiyuki fan or any fan of Jpop!! Be sure to check out the other Saiyuki image and song albums that are available on Amazon. Son Goku's Song Collection is available now. That will be my next one!! Thanks!!

I'm glad I purchased this I grew up watching thhe original series. So far the 4kids dub version the boxset of season 1 has been awesome. I enjoy both the english dub and japanese dub. If you grew up watching the 4kids version go for it. As for the Japanese uncut versions you can try other resources like ebay I currently have: Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 1 49 episodes, Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 2 Uncut Volumes 1 - 11. Yu-Gi-Oh Uncut Unedited Japanese dub/english dub's volumes 1-3. Since 4kids canceled vol. 4 red eyes black dragon's dvd Haven't been able to find it anywhere else. I have Yu-Gi-Oh! Movies 1&2 and Capsule Monsters. I hope to collect the rest soon but like I said ifyou're a true fan of Yu-Gi-Oh! Buy either one most people prefer the japanese dub, Im going to remind you this is not the japanese dub version only the 4kids english version. P.S. Dan Green Is a great voice-actor in my opinnion. If you're looking for the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Search on Youtube for the Japanese dub: Yu-Gi-Oh! "Season 0"

Let me tell you all: this C.D. is....cooler than cool!!!! If you're a "Fullmetal Alchemist" fan, you gotta get this! It has a lot of great songs! Take my advice, get this!

P.S.: Most of the songs are like something from an orchestra, but three of them have lyrics. The tracks are "Melissa" (3rd or 4th track), "Indelible Sin" (last track), and the opera-sounding song (one of the last tracks).

I will admit this a good anime but not my favorite, but having 50+ episodes in the package, it would be hard to beat that. This a great buy for those who like the manga, or just great deals on anime.

I ordered this because I thought the Girls und Panzer anime was the best anime of 2012, and because the music was a major contributor to that success. That said, the context is what makes the music. The main theme is re-used throughout, with variations and in different arrangements. This works well in the anime, but it gives the soundtrack album a certain lack of variety, and it's why I didn't give it a five star rating. It's a two disk set. The first disk starts with a three-minute military band version of the main theme, and ends an hour later with a four-minute orchestral arrangement. In between, there must be four more arrangements of the same theme, running about a minute to a minute and a half each. The best parts are the military brass bands, as you might expect. The rest of the music on the disk is incidental music, some of which is quite nice, and some of which is really distinctive music I don't remember hearing at all in the anime. Themes that get only a few seconds in the anime are fleshed out here. The second disk is only about half an hour long, but it includes some surprises. The second track march of Disk 1 is repeated, but this time in what I can only describe as a polka arrangement. Theres both the OP and ED songs, which are usually left off of anime soundtracks due to copyright issues  they are very often made-for-anime versions of J-pop songs. Theres also two versions of Katyusha (which was left out of the US broadcast of the anime, again, because of copyright issues). One is the straight orchestral arrangement. The other is the Kachsha version, sung by her Russian-speaking seiyu, Hisako Kanemoto. Finally, oh joy, is a full rendering of the Ankou Dance, by Sayaka Sasaki.

This CD has the full version of the opening and closing theme from the anime, Believe My Dice and A Shadow's Love Song as well as instrumentals for both of the songs. I love these songs as well as the anime. If you like the themes from the anime I would highly recommend getting this CD.

This is a great CD I love Sailor Moon but even if you don't like Sailor Moon you should get this! The tracks are worth every penny especially Ai no senshi(Soldier of love), who do you think you are?,and power of love over  all this is a great CD even though there only eight tracks you'll  definately find yourself repeting them even you parents!

This CD was . . . okay.  That's the best way I can put it.  I haven't seen the series and mainly wanted the opening theme song "Infinity," which is really good, the best song on the CD in my opinion.  But as for the rest . . . most of the songs are largely forgettable, though a few were mildly enjoyable, such as "UN-LIMITED," "Tears in Heaven," and "Be Myself."  But again, overall the CD wasn't that great . . . not terrible, but not outstanding, just slightly above average.

Moon Phase is a great Anime and I'm going to give clarification to exactly why that is.

Firstly with this product, the Super Amazing Value Edition means a customer can get a complete Anime series for dirt cheap, perfect for the current economy. Their is one lone DVD case that looks like it would only hold one disc like most Movies released from Hollywood would come packaged. This one however has all 4 discs in the middle on two plastic page plates as if you are reading a book. An example of shelf space for a series like individual Trigun volumes on DVD, would take up to 8 spaces, whereas this take up a single space. Both are 26 episodes but this comes in a nice compact case.

Since this is the S.A.V.E. version, it is pretty inexpensive, but also lacks special features. Each disc has one trailer that automatically plays and textless songs are standard issue. It has all 26 episodes.

!!! [Spoilers]
The plot revolves around two main characters. Kohei, a spiritually dense Photographer, and Hazuki, a cute little Vampire girl. Kohei ends up seeing a girl by chance atop a haunted castle. Curiously he comes back later to investigate and ends up meeting Hazuki. She is trapped within this castle, like a prisoner. She pleads for someone to release her from this cage and tries to manipulate Kohei into helping her. The themes jump back and forth between Cute and Dark as the series progresses. While there is no graphic nudity, their is some convenient censoring in a few select scenes which could be viewed as Fanservice. A good example is a bubble bath where the protagonist, Hazuki acts in a precocious manner. While it may be a bit risque, it's not really as "bad" as you might think (in my opinion). Hazuki then gives Kohei a special "kiss" and then expects him to obey her every whim... but will he?
... [End Spoilers]

If you want more of a synopsis, I recommend checking a site called AnimeNewsNetwork or checking other reviews online. I usually try to avoid giving away too much information about the story or where it's going. Among the dark themes, there is a lot of cuteness mixed in and even some comedy during some scenes. It's a mix bag of goodness that I surely love and enjoy. I'm not too knowledgeable on it's commercial success, but I assume it did alright but was still overshadowed by the popular Anime like Naruto, Bleach, etc. So I would consider this to be a hidden gem of sorts for the Anime world with people that like this combination of story, themes, and so on. I found almost nothing to be predictable as the story progressed when I first saw some sample episodes on Funimation's youtube Channel.

As with most Anime in Region 1, this has two audio tracks: English and Japanese w/ English Subtitles. I give it a 5 out of 5 because of the price. An entire Anime series for dirt cheap. Less than a dollar an episode and to be owned on your own shelf, to watch anytime you desire!

This CD set contains two CDs: the original soundtrack to the film Mewtwo Strikes Back, plus Mewtwo no Tanjo (Birth of Mewtwo), a radio drama in five  parts. I didn't really care about the radio drama, and listening to it  didn't change my mind much. The pre-Mewtwo Strikes Back character  development for Mewtwo somewhat weakened its character in the movie, and  felt unnecessary. The drama is very talky, so if you're bored easily or  don't know Japanese, you probably won't like it. The soundtrack, on the  other hand, is great! It consists of strongly emotional tracks in the style  of the TV series, but played with what sounds like a full orchestra and  composed with a definite polish. Each track stands alone thematically,  developing its own theme, but is orchestrated to match the on-screen  excitement wonderfully. Some of the tracks are remixes of TV soundtrack  tracks, but they're given enough new snazz to make a big difference. If you  like Pokemon music or just movie scores, this is a good purchase. Oh yeah,  and it also includes Mezase Pokemon Master '98, a jazzy new remix of the  opening theme.  U.S. audiences will never hear this soundtrack in the  movie, as the American version is being entirely re-scored. You may have  heard some tracks from this CD used as soundtracks in the American second  season of the TV show, though. The good ones are from here.

The songs are really good inspiration for writing my characters, and I think it's awesome that the instrumentals are included, in case you want to make a cover or remix it. I really like how well he navigated Avanna's program. You don't find a lot of Vocaloid users who can make it sound so good, it almost doesn't sound robotic.

The series itself is really amazing. If you like action, adventure and fantasy then you'll love this !! I remember the 2006 original japanese release for this anime and how I watched it from begining to end. I even remember when they first featured it on toonami jetstream and how good the dub was. The only unfortunate matter in my case is that while collection 2 floats around like a cloud in the sky collection 1 is extremely hard to find. I know the time to probably get it was back when it was released in 2009 but heck it took me 8 years till I got my hands on buso renkin. I know its unlikely it will pop up but I do hope that collection 1 surfaces again someday (:
