Okay, Kurumi is THE best anime. And Encore just makes it all better. Lots of laughs, especially the first episode where Saki becomes a movie star. And, if fans can believe it's possible, Kurumi redefines the meaning of stupidity once again for all our enjoyment. I must say though it's funny because I believe the creators were making up for the nudity quota in the 1st 4 discs all in this one, the bathhouse scenes with Saki and Kurumi are pretty funny. All in all wonderful and full of laughs, as they say, "a must for all Kurumi fans!" Plus there's a preview of Kurumi 2, I think it's the opening theme, and the part with Kurumi transforming is hilarious. So please, buy Encore, you'll love it!!!

This DVD is perfect for those who want just a little more Kurumi in their collection. There are four mini episodes that show some of each character's personality, and the mixed up love lines between them.

I really liked these four episodes, but I personally think Karinka got a little soft in these episodes. The first one is when Saki becomes a movie star. In the second one, Karinka get's a love letter (awwwwwww!), third one Karumi becomes a women (haha!), and the last one is when a whole group of angels wants to fight Karumi for a kiss from Nakahito! The last one is my personal favorite. Great DVD. I recommend it.

These last four episodes aren't deep, but they're a fun end to the series. Every Steel Angel gets her own episode to shine, and the results are all funny and on the rare occasion a little touching (i.e. Karinka with Nakahito's older brother). Unlike some OVAs that seem like too much (i.e. Hand Maid May), this DVD plays with the series without making a mockery of it or being silly. I highly recommend it.

I personaly like this dvd quite a bit, as instead of like most anime's after the main problem is over this does not bring up another giant world indangering event. Rather it simply shows a few amusing events though it is full of humor and quite a bit of what was from the previus episode I like the fact that they don't drag out any Oh I am going to destroy the world villians and just have a few episodes about life.
