5.0 out of 5 stars
Weiß just gets better and better..., July 10, 2002
I bought the first DVD after reading about the series online, and wasn't entirely impressed. The second DVD had more well-animated episodes and a definite plot, probably enough to get a person hooked. This, the third DVD, is not only exciting and pivotal but much easier on the eyes. We get to see (and hear) a lot more of the Schwarz, learn more about Persia and the tangled web of the Takatori family, and finally figure out exactly what happened in Aya's past. If you liked the first two Weiß DVDs, you're sure to love this one. If you saw the first few episodes and ditched the series, now is the time to give it a second chance! If you've never heard of Weiß Kreuz [Knight Hunters]... where have you been and what are you waiting for?! If that's not convincing enough, allow me to mention my little brother. Despite the fact that it meant missing the All-Star Game, he watched this DVD with me all the way through without once telling me how stupid anime is. I think that's about as strong an argument as you can get. Sure, the outtakes are at an all-time low and the English voices aren't worth not having to read subtitles, but that's just the dub, and the rest of the DVD is top-quality entertainment.

The most angsty anime series ever, July 9, 2002
This is a must buy DVD. If you are into hurt/comfort or angst, then Knight Hunters is the series for you. If you tried the first DVD and are still unsure, buy this one. The story has changed from the one shot deals of the first few DVDs to an arc that lasts throughout the remaining episodes. The characters become much deeper and angstier. Add to that a great opening theme and very cute boys and you have the receipe for the perfect anime.

Soap Oprea?, August 4, 2002
The 3rd DVD, is the best one so far BY far. Bishies...the bad guys (who are also bishies), and a soap oprea of pasts and family. You get to see some more of the bad guys (attempting to write without spoilers here), and........SCHU-KUN! The interviews aren't half bad either, if you understand what they are talknig about. The outtakes--scared me. Okay, so they were childishly funny, but I was sweatdropping the whole time. The english dub isn't exactly worth it. But, the production sketches are coolie! You get tosee the sketches of out favorite bishies. I think this one has Tot and the weapons? Anyway, the character development is great (even if the animation isn't the best) and it is starting to have a nice plot. This DVD also marks the end of the first season. DVD 4 and 5 will be the second season. It's a great anime, and now, my favorite Ja~ Shime
