4.0 out of 5 stars Cowboy Bebop Light, April 12, 2006

I have a great love for Cowboy Bebop, so if you hated that series, then you probably won't value what I have to say. That caveat aside, I really enjoyed the Wild Arms series. I know, I know. It was based on a video game. My answer. Big deal. It was cheap. So I gave it a try, and boy was I surprised. I found my self staying up late nights going episode to episode, compelled to find out what the characters were up to. The producers had a whole world to build on from the games, and they used it as a setting to place a crew not unlike the one from Bebop. A big nuturing guy, a wise-cracking bad-boy, a seductive not-so-honest gal, and her lovable girl side-kick. They even had cute animals as characters. <u>It was great. Good music, fun characters, compelling story, nice art, sweet action, even a bit of romance. What else do you want?

5.0 out of 5 stars a must have for wildarm fans, January 24, 2007

I brought this anime for my husband as a present, we have played every wild arms game released and to this day are big fans of them. As an anime on its own it would be good, but as an amine based on a game I thought it worked really well, the only thing I would have changed is I would have called the mouse Hanpan after the game.
Story wise, yes it is fairly simplistic, but nice to curl up to after a long tiring day, you don't really need to think about what you're seeing you can just sit back and enjoy. Each episode is a small story in its own right, but still follows the main story line (almost like each episode is a side quest along the way) and as always some a better than others.
It will not be to everyone's taste, but personally, both me and by husband enjoyed it.

(4.5 stars) Wild Arms TV is defintely worth considering! Having played the first 3 games, I can say that you need not play the games to understand the story. In fact, the anime fills in some interesting details about the planet that weren't covered in the games. The mouse-like characters seem quite annoying at first, but in time, they become less irritating. Overall, the main storyline is very interesting, and I found myself wanting to see it through to the end. The side stories are also unique and very well written. Unexpected surprises await up until the very end! If you are looking for something "different" than your typical anime, this is it!
