The best of the 3 tapes. Orguss 2 begins here..., August 31, 2000
By A Customer
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.

Little known but good old school Anime, November 11, 2003
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 :-)

Good, and Not so Good, August 6, 2006
Okay, I loved the plot, first of all. It was pretty good, but I think that the whole thing is so old. Some regular boring kid-mechanic, rises up into fame.
Isn't that so old? The good parts are that the music is absolutely terrific in the beginning and the end and I didn't get tired of listening to it 6 times during the whole episode.
The whole thing keeps you on the edge of your seat, and from the beginning you can tell that everything isn't what it seems.
Lean (how do you spell it), is a bit weird and his relationship with the girl is a bit weird and the fact that they both don't even have bullets in their guns makes them seem like idiots, but it was still good overall.
However, the nude part is totally unneccessary. We get the point when she lands in a totally different world, but does the girl have to be naked? Also, all of that suffering is unneccessary as well. I almost spilled my dinner all over my new tiles.
Overall, it's a pretty nice movie and I would recommend it to anyone who has a strong stomach and loves manga.
