Invader Zim's mighty need to destroy all of humanity knows no bounds. Fortunately for Earth, he's a cosmically inept fool! But this Invader has more to deal with than that self-proclaimed protector of our planet, Dib. The path to conquest is paved with hazardous challenges, which include all of the prickly, meat-flavored horrors that Earth has to offer. Zim must outwit Mall Security, endure the terror of Bloaty's Pizza Hog, and defeat the evil space babies.

Invader Zim is masterful cartoon work. I enjoy it even now as an adult. The dark themes and zany comedy are blended together excellently, the writing is top-notch, and the animation quality is high. If you're unfamiliar with the franchise, then I recommend renting an episode first, though - it's not for everyone. But if it's up your alley, then you're in for a real treat!

I joined the ZIM fanbase after it's cancel from Nickelodeon. I think I saw one episode before it went off. Then, I just randomly started watching it on Nicktoons. After another episode, I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. I preordered this DVD in June, when I knew it didn't come out until August. It is just that good! What's better than Battle of the Planets and Walk For Your Lives? I mean, just hearing the Tallest say "It's Probing Day!" is enough to make my day better. (Yay! Two words! More Puppets!!!) It doesn't have many extras, but is quite fun to watch the interviews with the writers. (on the first DVD, if you watch the interview with the voice actors, when you see Jhonen's puppet, you can see part of his head hiding behind a chair, lol)Also, the commentary is the most awesome. Sometimes I just turn it on and do something else so I can hear the commentary. So buy it! NOW. Or I shall send my plague of babies to drool on you.

OK, realize you're dealing with a 52 year-old guy who has been on the verge of spiritual ecstasy from the first moment he watched Invader ZIM, a guy who loves this series on about 3 different levels, what some folks would call a "real ZIM dork". I have 27 episodes of ZIM (incl. the 8 unaired episodes) and have no qualms about recommending this series to ANYONE, a kid, teen or even a growed-up like me, as I never tire of watching the ridiculous events unfold in every episode, the amazing detail to the machinery that is IRKEN technology, the skillful use of parody that is present and the sly references to today's world with it's farces, foibles and ****ups! The voice of ZIM with his speaking style is no less than genius. GIR, his borderline-functional robot is always a source of frustrating, outrageous and unpredictable behaviors that would confound the most jaded psychiatrist. You'll laugh until you bust a "squeedley-squooch" or worse, so immediately, right ****ing NOW, arrange to possess this wonderful series and enjoy a truly unique animation style along with great storylines.

Ah, Invader ZIM. It's grown quite a large fanbase, and it was only a matter of time before it came on DVD. And now it is. It is a bit of a letdown, because the original cover for this set, drawn by Jhonen, was much cooler, but Nick vetoed it. So now we're stuck with this generic stock art. Anyway, this is Volume Two of the set of three, and it's got some gems on it. Since the episodes aired out of order, here's what's on this two disc set:
Plague of Babies / Bloaty's Pizza Hog*
Door to Door / FBI Warning of Doom*
Bolognius Maximus / Game Slave 2
Battle of the Planets
Halloween Spectacular of Spooky Doom
Mysterious Mysteries* / Future Dib
Hobo 13 / Walk for your Lives
Megadoomer / Lice
Abducted / The Sad, Sad Tale of Chickenfoot
(episodes with an asterisk do not have commentary)
Abducted, possibly my favorite episode, is here, where ZIM and GIR get abducted by two idiotic aliens who think he's a human. Also very great episodes are Megadoomer, Game Slave 2, and Walk for your Lives, which I believe never aired here in the US. But, we'll have plenty to see when the unaired episodes release on volume 3.
Well, all in all, if you love ZIM, you can't afford to miss this set. Even if you don't, it's worth checking out. This is a frighteningly original and hilarious and beautiful series, that definitely should have ran longer.

It's still good stuff. If I am correct, this encapsulates the second season of Jhonen Vasquez's "Invader ZIM." As the story goes, Nickelodeon was so horrified at the first season that they were dead set on killing ZIM once and for all. HOWEVER. When Invader ZIM's fanbase heard about the cancellation, they nearly went as mad as Gir on a sugar high. Letters poured into Nickelodeon demanding at least one more season of "ZIM." And they, strange but true, kept it alive for one more season because of their complaints.
It is obvious that in creating the second season Jhonen didn't give much thought to caution. He knew his show was going to be axed, and soon. So therefore, he had nothing to worry about, really. Thus the immaturity factor goes way up here and the jokes are, yes, gross. However, there are certain episodes here, like "Game Slave 2" and "Door to Door" that please me in their ability to parody some of the wretchedness of low culture. Some of the other episodes, though, rival and even overpower South Park in their gross out factor. Yuck. Ah, well, Jhonen is cool.

Overall, I would say Invader Zim is the #1 best show ever, and there's not too much else to say about that. :D
The used DVD I got from ExpressMedia arrived very quickly! (only two days) The discs are in great condition, and work perfectly!
I would definitely recommend that you get this show. There are rumors going around that IZ (Invader Zim) may go back into production, and if so, the original DVDs will probably skyrocket in price.
I hope this review helps!
EDIT: I found out this review shows up for the Invader Zim vol 1 DVD as well, so this review is for the vol 1 set.
Beware when buying used. The DVD arrived smashed, and the second disc in the case was scratched.

Here's the deal. I want to say right off that Zim is a hell of a lot better than most shows you'll see on TV. In fact, Zim and South Park are the only things that I can watch over and over again without being bored with them. Of both of these shows, I own all that I can get, and pre-order every edition of them. As such, I technically owned this edition a month before it's release, but as it's release was yesterday, I'm still waiting for amazon to send it.
Volume two of Zim contains some of my favorite episodes. Most notably, the two part "Battle of the Planets." If you've never seen Zim, I reccomend that you rent this edition and watch that, if nothing else. Unfortunately, if also contains my least favorite episode, "Bolognius Maximus" in which Zim is slowly turning into a Bologne sausage. That is the only episode of Zim I've ever only liked instead of loved. Still, BM is only 15 minutes of a 4 1/2 hour laugh riot, so I figure that I shouldn't bother to dock Zim points for that misconduct. After all, it wouldn't be complete without it.
Anyway, if you've ever seen or read anything by Jhonen Vasquez, what are you waiting for? BUY THIS F*CKING DVD!!! Also, Zim V1, JTHM collection, and Squee's wonderful big giant book of unspeakable horrors are great buys. If you haven't seen Zim and are considering giving it a try, give it a rental first. There is no middle ground in Zim. You love it or you hate it, so make sure it's right for you before you spend too much cash. Hope I've been a help.
