3.0 out of 5 stars Uh, What? What is going on? A Warning.., August 29, 2001

This review is from: Gasaraki - From the Ashes (Vol. 4) (DVD)

I have viewed volumes 1 - 4 of this series and it still has not sparked my interest like "Cowboy Beebop" or "Blue Submarine No. 6" did (at least Beebop told a long story in complete chapters). The animation is very good but the story reminds me of a soap opera I used to watch. One week, they had a guy falling off a building, for the whole week, while everyone was out looking for him. I want to scream "Get to the fricking point already" when I watched that show and now when I watch Gasaraki. To make matters worse, these DVDs are not cheap, Gasaraki is one of the most expensive series to buy and I don't see a plot climax anywhere in sight. However, I have to tip my hat to the producers of this series for not appealing to the "Pokemon" market. Should I stop collecting? Yes, probably. Should you even start? I don't know, watch the first volume on DVD and decide for yourself...

I've been collecting this series since V1 and I still to this day wonder why. Few mech battles, very little story, and talk, talk, talk. This anime moves at a snails pace even compared to DBZ! "So why do you have 8 volumns, space?" I dunno! I just keep thinking this series is going to go somewhere and it isn't. If you like yakkedi smackedi talking go for it. Looking for a good mech battle, forget it.

If you like anime... no... i won't start this off like most reviews. Let me just rephrase that... If you LOVE awesome and complex plots, Gasaraki is for you! Forget whether or not your an anime fan... If you like anime youll love this one hands down... i shouldnt even have to tell you that. But fans of live action should appreciate Gasaraki as well... its a very mature and complex anime. After the first 3 DVD's its obvious this anime isnt for the weak at heart. Volume 1 was extremely slow paced, feeding you numerous characters for whom you knew no purpose and dialogue that confused you more than educate. Albeit, this is no Lain. Gasaraki is a cakewalk to understand compared to Lain. But nonetheless this is an extremely complexed story. Volume 2 picked up quite nicely. The war in belgistan... the conflicting TA's. And the two invitators meeting on the battlefield. A nice transition into the awesome Volume 3!! From then on it just doesnt stop getting better!!! GET ALL OF THESE!! YOU WONT REGRET IT!!
