Review: I saw the entirety of Photon almost a year ago fansubbed, and I died laughing. Every once in a while, an animation house needs time to let off steam after the more serious series, and Photon represents enough steam to melt the polar ice caps. From AIC, the group behind Tenchi Muyo, El Hazard, and Dual, this series is so much more than a laugh a minute. It is a bit short (only 6 episodes total), but considering you can now have it on one DVD, how could you pass that up? Also, while extremely crack-addled for the most part, the ending has a moment of seriousness and is one of the best endings in anime, period. If you love anime and bellylaughs, you owe it to yourself to buy this DVD yesterday!

Review: i saw this series in fansub format about 2 years ago... and loved it. as soon as i found out that Central Park Media was going to release it, on DVD at that, i had to get it! i have watched it about 5 times now and i still laugh at it. but when i brought my girlfriend over to watch movies she picked this particular one out of all the rest. she was a little... shocked at first (nudity i do believe) but then she was paying attention to what they was doing and saying to each other and she was laughing just as hard as i was. this is a really great comedy anime, with the usual touch on risque subjects.
oh yea, the villan of the series, Poppachan, is so inept... he is just laughable.

Review: Just saw Photon for the second time last night and couldn't believe no one has recognized or publicized this 6 episode OVA series more. The DVD contains all six episodes which are very well animated by AIC. Overall it is a silly little space adventure on a sandy planet in the sticks named....'Sandy Planet' where some exceptionally powered people (Photon being one of them) reside and where the key to ruling the universe through the ultimate power resides as the buried secret within a renegade woman named Keyne. Photon, a pint sized goof, is sent to recover a holy object(a magic marker) taken by his young friend when she left the town to go be with her pop idol. Along the way Photon ends up finding Keyne naked in a stasis chamber and ends up accidentally marrying her. Many ridiculous situations ensue up to the end which turns table on the light hearted ways of the series. Perhaps the most amazing animation is Keyne who is drawn and endowed beautifully and is seemingly naked for a mojority of the show. All the characters have specific postures and animations giving them distinct personality bringing a lot of dimension to the kooky writing style. There are tons of cool mecha designs which the animation staff didn't linger on leaving me wanting to see more of their cool robots and space suits. Very entertaining, well drawn, well animated and very quirky. Quite a good buy!

Summary: Good series, bad ending
Review: Let me start off by saying the ending seemed rushed, and made little sense. The emperor suddenly showing up, and the strange battle, as they tossed the words a-ho and una-ho around so much it made no sense what tehy were talkign abuot after a while. But in teh end they get him. It seemed like that series should have been longer, so the fight could make better sense.

Summary: I don't understand.
Review: That was pretty much what I said to myself throughout this series. There seemed to be some kind of plot advances happening somewhere, but the viewer never gets clued in. Characters act a certain way, and we don't know why. No one seems to have any motivation to do the things they do. And yes, I laughed. But I laughed because I was so confused, I couldn't think of anything else to do. This series makes no sense, and leaves the viewer with a profound sense of "*blink?* what just happened? and WHY!? WHY, GOD, WHY!?"
