3.0 out of 5 stars The best of the 3 tapes. Orguss 2 begins here..., August 31, 2000

This review is from: Orguss 02 Vol 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The original Orguss designed by Mikimoto finally has its full resonance within this third tape of the secondd Orguss series. This OVA collection bears no real relation to its predecessor until you realise the Earth in Orguss 2 is still disturbed by dimensional instability and the solution elusively sought in the end of the TV series did not work. The colonel survives and plans to correct the world and all dimensions 200 years after the first series ends.

Orguss 2 is really a cheaply veiled attempt to do an independant giant robot anime under the wing of an earlier proven work. Not to sound too harsh, the art is pretty good and the animation satisfactory for the writing. Definitely not the best, but pretty cool anime encompassing romance, war, mecha and fantasy. I guess its just hard for me to hate anything Toshiro Kawamoto does. The biggest pity is that nearly no one has ever seen the original Orguss in the States so there is very little ability to understand the ramifications of the previous history behind Orguss 2.

This review is from: Orguss 02 (DVD)

This is a real good series, if you like Crest of the Stars, Heavy Metal L-Gaim, or any Leiji Matsumoto based series you will enjoy this. The animation is top notch the action is great the story is great, the characters are interesting. I wish the original Orguss was out on R1 dvd so I could see more of this world known as Orguss. It really got me thinking of Heavy Metal L-Gaim while I was watching this, it just has a similar feeling to it. Get this DVD it is actually a bargain at this price as it contains the entire 6 episode OVA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little known but good old school Anime, November 11, 2003

This review is from: Orguss 02 (DVD)

180 Minutes, all 6 episodes, Remastered 5.1 English with stereo English (not listed on cover) and Stereo Japanese. (note to Amazon.com: please update your information on this title)

This is a mecha series with a strong storyline and nice classic anime style. The mecha designs are limited in appeal but the characters and storyline more than make up for it.

I won't tell you the storyline except it revolves around war and spying at least in the first 4 episodes, episode 4 starts to reveal another underlying story line, but You will have to buy the DVD or read the VHS reviews to find out. After all why buy something is you already know how it all unfolds :-)
