I'll admit I haven't seen very much of this, but it definitely has an interesting premise. It is very Aztec, has lots of fighting, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Definitely better than the "Fist of the North Star", but it doesn't compare well to things like "Record of Lodoss War".

This anime takes a lot of historical refernce and deep reali life social diliema's and brings them together in a plot that takes most people by surprise. Most people are used to the calssic overly dramatized styles of now a days, Nazca doesn't use them and that can throw some people off, but when you take it as real life aspect, instead of over done drama it's an elegant and intruiging story.

Episodes 4-6 [included in Blood Rivals] are not as impressive as the first three episodes [included in Blades of Fate]. The story has developed solidly into a battle between "unchecked brute force" and "balance and honor", and still has enough to keep me interested, but I miss the freshness of the first few episodes. Most of the character development seems to have been sacrificed to plot and pacing. DVD has choice of both dubbed and subbed versions.

I was a little hesitant to buy this series because of the way the story line sounded but, I am sure glad i did. i now consider Nazca to be one of the best anime's in my collection. The plot developes really well and the characters are likable. I refer this series to any anime fan.

This is one of the WORST english dubs I have ever watched... Nazca is what appears to be a long line of poorly done work by New Generation
