Pretty Guardian (Bishojo Senshi) Sailor Moon (live action series) 9Sci-Fi Live ActionExcellent!
This is a fairly well-done live action series. The storyline is excellent and does not follow the manga or anime completely, but the fight scenes can use some work. The DVD quality is superb compared to it's VHS counterpart and the bonus features of the actresses are very cute. This is a great addition to any Sailor Moon fan's collection!

Sands of TimeBACK-ONA little different but still good
To me Sands of time seems to go a bit more pop then what they have done before. Even in the video Kenji seems to be becoming a pretty boy lol. Still, nonetheless it is still good. Message for the kidz is my least favorite but is ok. It really goes back to the sound of baby rock, if I had to pick a song thats its similar to I would say Lucky. Fifty 50 is a rap track. The only complaint I have about this song is that is was too short! Its really good and the effects on kenjis voice sounds awesome. Overall a great CD but if you don't have them already, I'd get Flower, Butterfly, or New World instead because they are better than this one.

GODZILLA FINAL WARS Special EditionJapanese MovieExcellent DVD Release
Despite what you think of the movie, which I consider to be decent, the special edition DVD is fantastic. There's plenty of interesting extras here like making-of featurettes, promos, interviews, design and storyboard galleries, and more. Definately recommended for the hardcore Godzilla fans.

Ultraman Mebius Volume 1Sci-Fi Live ActionUltraman Mebius - English Subtitles?
Can anyone tell me if these volumes have English subtitles? I bought this series from eBay because it had homemade English subs, but they were pretty bad. If the official volumes have them, I will gladly buy them, though they state that there are no subs in the specs.

Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger VS AbarangerSci-Fi Live ActionI'm surprised
At first I didn't expect this to be very good, but it had some good moments. The ones that come to mind are Asuka's and Topgaler's/Mikoto's entraces, and a battle between Yukito, Sen-Chan, Hoji, and Tetsu and an alienienizer warrior. Another thing about this movie is that there's threat that's actually significant enough for it to make sense for two Sentai teams to fight it. Usually in these crossovers it seems like they just did it because they could.

Denji Sentai Megarenger VS CarrangerSci-Fi Live ActionExcellent crossover
I'm reasonably sure this is the greatest Super Sentai crossover movie. It didn't have the grand scale of the battles in Gingaman VS Megaranger, but it did have a lot of action and character scenes and a solid plot. I think the introduction to the movie villains was one of the best introductions I've seen and the main series villains got a lot of screentime two. Both Sentai teams had a reasonable amount of screentime and had a lot more time to interact with each other than Sentai teams normally do in these crossovers. I also liked the miniature dragon, who is the focus of the main plotline. This movie features a lot of excellent moments in the mecha battles too, such as one of the movie villains using a motorcycle at giant size to fight the Galaxy Mega. Although, the Mega Voyager and RV Robo shouldn't stand together. They both have a number of circular objects and a 'V' sign on the chest, and red heads with a white stripe... its almost creepy seeing two similar gattai robos next to each other. The only mildly disappointing thing is that the movie-exclusive Megatector armour was kind of bland, but it's not much of a problem.

Beetle Fighter Kabuto Vol.4Sci-Fi Live ActionGreat Show
This show is awsome. It is known as beetleborgs metallix in the usa. I bought this because they never properly gave it a ending here in the USA. Also usally the japanese show are better than their USA counterparts, because here we censor everything to make it kid friendly. I found the acutal show is better then what we got here in the states. If you are a fan of power rangers or any sentai/metal heros this is a series you should pick up

Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah : Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (Daikaiju Sokogeki)Japanese MovieGood stuff
The surround sound is stunning. excellent use of all channels, film is great, the extras are hours and hours of things such as suit making,concept models,story art.Expensive but well worth it in features.Each dvd is packaged seperately in the box. highly recommended.

Super Sentai THE MOVIE Vol.2Sci-Fi Live ActionGreat Non-stop Sentai Action
This is second of the super sentai collection which hard core fans of denjiman, vulcan, google 5 and bioman shouldn't miss!

Ultra Sound Dendo Series 5 Ultraman ASci-Fi Live ActionVery nice.
A very nice soundtrack. I'd recomend this to anyone who collects the music and themes from the various Ultraman shows. It's also nice that the opening title sounds are included.

Garo Vol.3Sci-Fi Live ActionGaro V.3
This DVD is fantastic. Without giving too much away i will give a brief rundown of what can be expected. Kouga must face himself (sort of) and learn that it does not matter what weapon you use in the battle because its the heart and determination behind you that dictates victory. He will also gain quite a valuable ally from learning this lesson. We also get a brief history lesson and follow some of the story of Sajime Taiga (Kougas father-previous Makai Knight with the title Garo) in one of the best and most emotional episodes of any Tokusatsu and also was a major factor in my decision to lable Garo as the best Toku/Action show there is. This DVD has superb picture quality and i highly recommend these DVDs to anybody.

Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger vs. HurricangerSci-Fi Live ActionBetter than I expected
I watched this movie knowing that by this point, Sentai crossovers had just become a gimmick for a gimmick's sake. Bakuryuu Sentai Abarenger is my favorite Sentai, and Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger is... probably not one of my favorites as such, but I enjoy watching it. In spite of a Sentai team being pointlessly thrown in to help another Sentai team... well, this movie does what it's supposed to do, the basic idea is to show different scenes combining each aspect of both seasons. While it does that well, the large number of characters and short length result in a plot that wasn't as well written as the storylines from either series, or from the first abarenger movie.

Ultraman Music FileSoundtrackGood buy for Ultraman fans
It's almost exactly what I was looking for. I'm not disappointed, but diehard fans will know which few themes are missing....I think 1 or 2 just from episode 39. Plus a few others. Still a good buy :)

Kamen Rider Vol.16Sci-Fi Live ActionGoing out with a kick
Any fan of Kamen Rider really couldn't say they know the original two without seeing this DVD. Wrapping up the first of a long continuous chain of series this DVD closes the story of Hongo Takeshi and Ichimonji Hayato with their victory over Gel Shocker. The DVD itself doesn't contain much but the plethora of episodes with each episode divided each into about 6 chapters. There's plenty of action to go around with the defeat of the 6 shocker riders and a hand full of kaijin our fearless heroes eventually even take on the great leader.It's all in Japanese so unless you understand it there's no English subtitle track for the language impaired. Over all this DVD delivers Rider action for anyone to enjoy.

Kamen Rider (Masked Rider) BLACK RX Vol.3Sci-Fi Live ActionShadow Moon DIES
This Volume of Kamen Rider Black RX is really good. There are many good and emotional episodes in this Volume. But the most important thing is that you can witness Shadow Moon's final battle here and believe me, Shadow Moon's final scenes are very touching. A really good dvd set and thanks to Shadow Moon's last battle it is a must have for every Kamen Rider fan!
