Summary: More Zimmy Goodness!
Review: Here we are once again, the second of the most highly anticipated DVD sets for Invader Zim! With one more DVD set to go, IZ fanatics can finally own this wonderful series without Nickelodeon's annoying bumpers and commercials.
New to the realm of Invader Zim (or having a memory lapse)? Here's a quick recap: After accepting a "secret mission" by the Almighty Tallests, our power-hungry invader named Zim has made himself comfy on Earth along with his robot assistant named Gir. While having to deal with the horrors of Skool and constantly trying to keep Dib out of his hairs, Zim still has a long way to go before successfully conquring Earth.
Im my opinon, Volume Two is the true gem of the short-lived series. Most of my favorite episodes are on this DVD set including:
*Pleague of Babies: Zim believes that a wee human baby will leak out his existence on Earth, but he gets more than he bargained for after discovering the baby's true identity.
*Door to Door: Miss Bitters' class is having a school fundraiser and Zim wants to find out what Poop Dog's "mystery grand prize" is.
*Game Slave 2: A new Game Slave has come out and Gaz will stop at nothing to get her hands on it.
If you haven't seen IZ, then get your butt down to store and pick this and Volume 1 up right now! If you are the type of person who wants to see animation that is hip and cool, IZ is diffently your cup of tea. With cinimatic-like scopes, score and action, this series is unlike anything else before it! Vasquez takes the ordinary and transforms it into the extraordinary with crazy characters, color environments and sharp writting that you have to experience again and again!

Summary: DOOM!
Review: 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.

Summary: Scooge would have wanted it this way....
Review: I mean....OH NO SCOOGE!!! Consider this part 2 of my first trilogy of reviews (check volume 1 for the begining.) As the second volume was released my love for Zim grew...and grows bigger than my love for Game Slave II!!! This DVD really brings out all the greatness in all the other characters with episodes staring Dib Gaz and yes even Scooge! What makes this volume so great? The characters get nuttier the episodes get weirder and most importantly 'Hobo 13' is the greatest episode ever! I don't know what Nickelodeon was thinking. The highlights in this dvd inicluce...'Plague of Babies', 'Bloaties Pizza Hog' 'Hobo 13' 'Game Slave II' and of course 'Lice' because it kept me up all night it was so creepy. To make a long review short sit down shut up and enjoy. It's what Scooge would have wanted...I mean...OH NO SCOOGE!!!

Summary: great show was cancelled but not gone!
Review: I was not able to catch all the episodes when they aired on NICK, but those i did see were very funny (to adults and kids alike). If you cannot wait for this release you can catch the repeats on nicktoons (channel 178 on dishnetwork). I just found out this channel existed! It airs SAT, SUN and TUES (i think), (i found it by using the search button on the remote) but the listing description does not tell you episode info, so i don't know if all these are the same program. I plan to buy all the dvds, but wonder if there will be a complete box set? That would make any ZIM fan insanely happy.

Summary: If you don't know Zim -- you should
Review: In my area, the channel "Nicktoons" shows this cartoon sporadically -- so if you still aren't convinced to buy this DVD, check it out (if you have the channel)... I'm assuming that this DVD will contain the next 9 episodes of the show -- in that case the episode "Bolognius Maximus" is worth the entire cost of the DVD (not to mention the episode "Lice")! This show is demented and hilarious -- I am SO excited that it is coming out on DVD! I also recommend "Invader Zim - Volume 1: Doom Doom Doom".

Summary: It's good! Though.. I still like Volume One
Review: 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.

Summary: Maybe the BEST animated series EVER!!!
Review: 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" or similar. I have 27 episodes of ZIM (inc. 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 "sqeedley-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.

Review: The second installment of the Invader Zim DVD series is here. The adventures are crazier and the doom is stronger in this second DVD. "Progressive Stupidity" is a must have for any fan Invader Zim, cartoons in general, or just plain breathing. Like the sweet, sweet blood candies in our veins, this Invader Zim DVD is a must have item for any living organism. You will not be disappointed by this DVD. In fact you will be so happy that you bought this DVD that feathery soft puppies will rain from the sky and litter your front lawn with squeally joy. You owe it to yourself to buy this DVD. Do it for the sky puppies.

Summary: The most amazing DVD on earth!
Review: These are very intelligent, well done cartoons. The characters are very engaging and three dimensional even though for the most part they're a little insane. The production is top-flight. The music is incredible. SO much detail! The people who made these cartoons are brilliant. I hope they're doing something else now.
