    Good anime, shame about disc 2 content

    WARNING! Do not rent disc 2 in this set. You get exactly the same set of episodes, but with DTS sound. I wish the description (or a previous reviewer) had warned me of this, then I wouldn't have wasted the rental. As for the episodes they are very enjoyable and action packed, with great animation. The title sequence is gobsmacking!

    Its good but could have been better

    Just like the movie the series follows a similar format. Its a good start to a manga series but due to the format being too predictable it just gets a bit boring. I hope the episodes further in the series are more entertaining.

    The side story of the robotic tanks is funny if you can understand the unnecessarily complex language being used.
