4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good series, though short, August 14, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Ex-Driver: Perfect Collection (DVD)
Definitely a very memorable series overall. There is action to be found in Ex-driver, but don't watch it looking for a body count. The animation for the cars, characters, and scenery are very well done, and the voice dubbing isn't too bad either. The story could have used a little more developing, and I feel that they might have been better off making it into a 2 hour movie rather than 6 25 minute episodes. I watched the series by renting it, and I plan to buy the set when it comes out. It's a great buy, and a must for anyone that's into anime and cars.

Lotusing Onwards, August 18, 2005
This review is from: Ex-Driver: Perfect Collection (DVD)
What can I say. This is a great little OVA, especially if you happen to be a car lover, or you happen to have a soft spot for anything with a Lotus or Lancia badge on it.
The story is set in the future where cars are driven by AI computers and most people have lost the ability to drive. However, the AIs sometimes glitch, sending the cars wild. Enter the eX-Drivers: Lisa, Lorna and Souichi, driving 20th century cars, tasked with chasing down the run-aways and reighning them in (preferably) before they can do any serious damage.
One thing I really did like about this (apart from that it features some of my favorite vehicles) is that often the characters dress in period clothes associated with their cars.
The only real problems I had with it were that the people who did the dub into English obviously didn't take the time to research the cars they were talking about. Hence the car names are invariably miss-pronounced, to the point of calling the Lotus Europa as "European Model Lotus". The OTHER problem was that it was way to short (only 6 episodes).
Personally, I really enjoyed this. A must buy for any fans of old cars.

Great Series, June 24, 2003
This review is from: Ex-Driver: Perfect Collection (DVD)
This was a great series, well more like a mini-series. There were only 6 episodes, but still it was really great. What I really like was that, the world is advanced, with ai controlled cars and the better cars are the older lower-tech cars! I think that there should be more episodes, and that more would make it even better. A lot of it is funny, and if you really like anime(chicks) its a really good DVD to get, not just for that, but it is a plus. The driving is awesome and storyline is great. If you don't buy it, atleast rent it, it would be well worth the money. Have Fun :o)
