As my title shows I bought this for 13 bucks at Best Buy and couldn't pass it up. It really is a bunch of Horny guys trying to peep and the girls who came to their school for the summer. There were some parts with the guys that were really disturbing for me. The main characters were likable as well as the other girls. It wasn't until the last couple episodes that I actually became interested and the actual plot was revealed. It's OKAY for a starter Anime.

I watched this with a need for something light-hearted and was not disappointed. The subtitles match the English voice track pretty well so there's not much to lose listening to the Japanese.
I found it sufficiently different in story and character detail from other anime to be a worthwhile addition to my collection.
It has a VERY strong fanservice content, a middling comedy aspect and a nicely handled romantic story line. Sure, there are some ecchi aspects that were not my cup of tea, but on the whole I enjoyed it.

This is a 3-disc DVD box set of the Green Green anime. However, the title of the set (Green Green Complete) is a bit misleading, because there is technically one more episode that was never released in the United States. Each disc contains four episodes of the series, as well as some extras ans trailers. The extras came from three character DVDs that were released in Japan back in 2003 and 2004; these extras include mini-episodes, music videos for "character songs," television spots, textless version of the opening, textless version of the closing, as well as three alternate closing sequences.

Green Green is ultimately mindless "fan service" entertainment, but it was done in such a way that it was enjoyable viewing. While this set may not necessarily be teeming with special features, it's worth picking up if you're a fan of the Green Green anime.

I watched this series by myself, and thought it was ok. I then watched it with some friends, and then thought it was great. It's not the high water mark of animie, but neither is most.

Is it super original? No. Does it make use of stock situations and characters? Yes. Is this an animie for everyone? Of course not, few are. But it's still good fun! Nothing very serious. It's a light hearted romantic comedy with a hint of mystery, and a heavy dose of wishful and wistful male teenage perversion (not quite Porky's, but pointed in that direction). There was a scene or two I could've done without. (Really could've done without!) There were a few `oh my gawd they didn't' moments, along with a buncha goofy silly funny moments, and even a sorta sad and reflective moment. There's lotsa fanservice, and it seems to increase as the series progresses. I have a feeling the show is tilted towards guys, but I do know a gal or two that liked the romantic angle.

Like I said previously, there's a bit of a mystery. On my first watching, I wasn't that observant, and missed a lot of (not at all subtle) clues. I think I enjoyed my second viewing more because I understood things better, and could see right away story elements I didn't realize the importance of to begin with.

Overall, I liked it, enjoyed it, and was sad when it ended. I found it to be a crowd pleaser, and that's always good too. For all intents and purposes, it did its' job. I wanted to be entertained and laugh, and I was entertained, and I laughed.

Green Green has a great opening sequence, awesome extra content on each disk, and is available at one of the best prices I've ever seen for an anime collection. Unfortunately, that's all I can say about it that's good.

I didn't like any of the character designs, and many of them I found extremely annoying. The storyline is nonexistent; it's just a bunch of horny highschool boys chasing after a bunch of girls for 12 episodes. And while this sounds like it should be the setting for a great comedy, it's not. I didn't laugh once during the entire series.

Normally I love anything with fanservice no matter how bad the story is, but even with the abundant girls Green Green just wasn't at all entertaining to me. Moreover, while I was watching I just wanted to turn it off and never watch it again, that's how bad it is.
I can only recommend Green Green for the most hardcore of anime collectors, anyone else shouldn't waste their money.

For the genre, its fairly typical. Nothing really stands out that sets this on the level as being "amazing", but it is by far not the worst as some people make it out to be. It's fanservice...the male characters are suppose to be perverted! Having seen Eiken, this is no where near it. Yes the male characters are perverted, but there's a resemblance of a plot, and there's humor to be had from it.

I'm 1 disc in of the 3, and so far there have been several laugh out loud moments. Bacchi-G', the overweight character of the group and the mastermind behind most of the antics is by far the funniest. In a scene in which he's helping to find one of the lost girls, he's using a "dowsing rod", but he refers to it as a "douching rod", and it's attached to his pants; for some reason I thought that was hilarious.

All in All, given the prices for this via Amazon's Marketplace (new/used), if you can find it cheap, it's well worth the investment, as I'm sure anyone will get a good amount of laughs from it.

If you want to watch a subpar plot, lots of breasts jiggling around ("boobies!" is the key word used throughout) and watching the 3 boys engaging in fantasy with each other then this anime is for you. (yes, it happened while locked in a room together, oh so painful!)

I endured pain throughout each episode hoping that it would get better, it didn't :( If they could have just dropped the first 10 episodes and kept the final ones, it would have been a much better series.

Seriously, watching three loser boys, looking through knot holes in a fence into the girls bath, and then getting caught, come on? Can't they come up with anything better?

If you just want fan service, then yes, by all means, please buy two copies, but there are so many other anime series you'll find entertaining, funny and yes, stimulating without having to endure 325 minutes of this adolescent drivel!

This was just as bad if not worse than the first season of Dark Angel. I know it's improper to mix genres like that, but this anime was just plain bad. The plot is insipid and like a previous reviewer stated, I'll watch anything with Fan Service. Although this show had an abundance of Fan Service, I could not bear anymore half way through disc two. Most of the characters are contemptuous if not down right detestable and the plot is lacking severely. Please do yourselves a favor and avoid this anime like the plague.
