Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors - Escape from the Garden of Evil

Rating:
Summary: One of the best 80s cartoon series!
Review: At last, the first DVD of this exciting series! I hope there are more to come. The music and atmosphere in this series is so fantastic, it was always my second favourite after The Transformers.

EPISODE LISTING:

- "Escape from the Garden" - With the help of a magical ring of great power, Jayce starts his quest to find Audric and the good plant he created that is the only way to destroy the Monster Minds.

- "The Vase of Xiang" - Jayce and his crew discover a message from Audric on a vase but it is stolen before they can decode it.

- "Steel Against Shadow" - Gillian tells the story of Valroth, a powerful weapon maker who made living armor to protect his people many years ago.

- DVD BONUS EPISODE: Flora, Fauna and the Monster Minds - Monster Minds are planted aboard the Pride to contaminate the water supply and force the ship to land on an uninhabited planet.

Try this cheap offer and become a fan too!!!! Mind that there will only be more episodes if this DVD sells good enough.

Summary: Finally, Jayce comes to DVD
Review: Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors is one of the best animated shows I have ever seen.
Since it was intended for children, you can't put it in a catagory with Cowboy Bebop, FLCL or Evangelion but the animation is nonetheless fantastic and the show itself was very ahead of its time.
With a complicated plot and its plethora of memorable characters, viewers can watch Jayce grow from a spoiled upstart to a humaintarian leader who puts the safety of others above his own needs. Jayce's willingness to sacrifice earns him several friends and additional enemies over the course of the series including the deplorable Dr. Zorg, a once dear friend of his father who now serves the series main villan Saw Boss, a tyrannical monster bent on universal domination.
This sustains the show for its 65 episode run and allows viewers to enjoy individual episodes while still weaving a larger narrative. Although volume I's episodes are not chronoligical, they are perfect for introducing Jayce to a new generation. If you are a fan of 80's cartoons or an anime fanatic pick this up and you won't be dissapointed.
By the way the cover art does not do this show justice, I don't know what monkey they had in charge of packaging but don't let it deter you from giving the show a chance.
Four out of five for the most unexpected anime from American TV in the 80's.

Review: THE CARTOON:
Excellent animation. Great characters. Balanced storytelling. Superp series---one of my favorites before the dawn of the Thundercats (and even after). Makes me want to renew my childhood ambition of producing my own animated serial. Would purchase the entire Wheeled Warrior series on DVD in a heartbeat.

THE DVD:
Easy naviagtion. Great picture and sound. No digital snags. My only lament is that the opening sequence plays at the beginning of the DVD and not at the beginning of each episode, and that the closing sequence plays at the end of the third and bonus (fourth) episode.

Summary: Fantastic Story BUT Collectors Beware!
Review: This dvd is a great start for anyone starting/wanting to collect mid 80's cartoon-scifi. 4 excellent episodes from the great series of 65 episodes

But BEWARE this is NOT the beginning of the collection from the start. These are 4 episodes pick from the complete series at random. For example:

DVD Episode 01 - Series Episode 01 - Escape from the Garden
DVD Episode 02 - Series Epsideo 58 - The Vase of Xiang
DVD Episode 03 - Series Epsideo 41 - Steel Against Shadow
DVD Episode 04 - Series Epsideo 04 - Flora, Fauna and.....

So if you want to follow the story in a linear way I suggest you hold fire until (if they do) they release the full range of this random collection.

All the best

Summary: An excellent first volume with some minor quirks
Review: Well now, finally got the title after waiting a week to recieve it from Amazon and I can't tell you how absolutely awesome this DVD is! 4 Episodes from the classic show intact and all. The menus are pretty bare bones and the opening only plays on load up, the ending only on the 3rd and "bonus" episode - but beyond that theres nothing to complain about, and for $10 its an absolute steal, especially for fans of the series. As for newcomers let me tell you this is still one of the most intelligent aired cartoon that I've ever seen, theres a few 80s isms like charatcers knowing things that they shouldnt but those are rare, rare instances, and the villains also break the mold with actually being intelligent, they do just what you'd expect an evil group to do, so it works out. As a longtime fan that hasn't seen the first episode in years it was also VERY nice to be reminded of how the show started off. I highly reccomend this show and DVD to anyone who likes a good sci fi setting fantasy romp, and its also by the same man behind Babylon 5, so you know its good. There are some things for UAV to improve on for the next volume (opening and ending around each episode and maybe some kind of extra), but overall its an excellent purchase. I look forward to seeing another volume in the future!
