Summary: Spoiled DVD generation
Review: I find it funny that people are banishing this OAV series for the purpose of the length of the DVD. How many of you, who fit the previous statemetn, are hardcore anime fans that buy VHS tapes, dubbed, which only have 1 to 2 episodes per tape. Shame on you for neglecting to recommend these films for their 30 minute DVD's. How many of you hated the Kite DVD, which was only 45 minutes after a 15 minute US cut? Although the story and the plot are pretty mudane at times, the clean and concise animation, along with the CGI is extremely excellent. The OAV was designed for speed and looks, hence the "video" game feel of te animations and plot. The CGI is still, even after 2 years, better than most of the anime TV or OAV series that I have seen, though newer titles like Sol Bianco Legacy and the Candidate For Goddess series boast better CGI, you cant go wrong with Blue Submarine for a quick action fix. Pull out the popcorn and turn your Digital reciever to the max, you are about to embarc on a fast passed, vissualy amazing ride.

Summary: Dude!! This is totally the best!!!!!!!!!
Review: I found this anime title on cartoon network when they ran it as a movie. They did a nice job editing and dubbing evan keeping the original names (that's a big surprise). The animation in this is gorgeos ranging from computer graphics (CG) and your wonderful anime artistry. The charectar designs for this anime is phenomanal and the way the emotions are depicted are beautiful. I have seen many anime in my life but this one is wonderful. I havn't had the chance to see it on a tape uncut or anything but as for a tv version I personally think it was wonderful. Blue Sub no. 6 is basiclly about the end of the world when the major cites of earth are flooded and creatures start attacking people. A young 18 year-old girl named Kino starts off the movie looking for Mayami (Spelling? i think its right) an ex-pilot. She finds him and is dissapointed in his lack of enthusiasum and leaves. She and her friend whose name I don't remember are going back to Blue Sub 6 when these giant spider-like creatures start attacking the people of the city. in the end of the whole ordeal Mayami ends up saving Kino, her friend, and some lady from being fried. So Mayami emds up on Blue 6 after all. Evevtually the main crew of blue sub 6 send Mayami and Kino out in a scouter ship to get rid of some demon water crafts. Kino and Mayami end up shooting one of those spider-like things and it is stuck on top of a submerged building. Mayami exits the scouter and finds a human, girl-like creature with red eyes and weird hair. Mayami saves her and later on this prooves to be useful, when he is drowning in the ocean. The demon girl carries him back to safty, whitch is a giant floating piece of rubble left from a blue sub explosion (note: not blue sub 6 another part of the Blue army fleat) Mayami wakes up to find the demon girl floating in the water staring at him. time passes and the two become frinds. Time goes by and the final battle to save mankind has come and Kino and Mayami go off in search of the mad scientist who created all of the demons and killed 10 billion people. Since this is such a good story and I can't nearly tell it as good as it is then I'm going to stop and say one thing (ok.....maybe a couple) Blue Submarine no. 6 allllllllllll the way!!!!!! oh yeah and the music in it is awesome!!!!!

Summary: Pretty and Unforgivable. They wont get away with it...
Review: I had no idea I was this stupid........ Very educational, a complete rip off. What was I THINKING? It never occurred to me to check the length. There are some things you take for granted. Kind of, like you expect there to be a disk inside and that it will be round and it will play. I have just gone through a buying spree of DVD anime and added this one to the list because of some remarks I had heard. All the others where great, but THEY where all 2 hours long. What I over looked THIS ONE TIME was to read these comments first. This atrocity is evil and stupid. I am forced to write my first review in what has to be $1000's of dollars of purchases over years from the fine folks at Amazon (who I don't blame for my mistake). Finding out it was the only episode on the the DVD was such a bizarre shock, it took me about 10 minutes to come to terms with this it. My IQ has been permently lowered 14 points, no wait thats my bank account. This is not marketing, its a crime of fraud. It just happens to be legal in some cases, like a frontal lobotomy. Well, it was a cheap lesson, I didn't think it possible but I am now even more paranoid and cynical when it comes to consumer purchases. Oh, you want to know how the production was? Very nice. The animation is good enough. The people that put it together are right up there with the best. It is also completely wasted when it is bundled with a tactic like this. The marketing genius should be locked up. Excuse me, I have to go throw it away now so I can begin to forget the worst online purchase I have ever made. First I will try to memorize the names of everyone on the jacket so I wont get burned again. Maybe then I can get my IQ back up to 80.

Summary: Blue Submarine No.6 is one of the biggest hits in Anime
Review: I have seen and own hundreds of anime and from my Anime collection I think Blue Submarine No.6 is one of the biggest hits in anime world because of its 2D/3D graphics and the characters and the plot are all in great qualities. This is a Sci-Fi anime and before I bought this anime I thought it wasn't going to be good because of the other anime I saw "Silent Service". But it turned out to be a great anime and I only wish they make the series longer. Blue Submarine makes a good anime collection and it's about 30 minutes a tape and there are 4 tapes total (Blues, Pilot, Hearts, end)...

Summary: weak storyline and dated look
Review: I recently watched the entire series over a few nights' time on TiVo. There's nothing overly interesting or special about the drawn out story. Our rebelious hero with a sketchy past must overcome personal issues and team up with his female counterpart to beat the scientist/enemy who has created a race of mutant creatures bent on destroying mankind.One point of interest: The arch-evil monster, a shark-human hybrid of a sort, is over-the-top with his dramatic delivery. I would cringe from embarassment whenever he was afforded screentime. However, in the final act of the film this shark-mutant gives a wailing performance of defeat, crying "daddy" or "papa" (or something similar) repeatedly at the top of his lungs. It's so bad, it crosses the line and almost becomes good again. I can only imagine what the recording sessions were like for that scene. More than anything, this cartoon is a vehicle for the old promise of mixing 2D and 3D animation. Seeing it now, after more technically successful 2D/3D integrated efforts like TITAN AE, IRON GIANT, ATLANTIS, etc., BS6 looks clumsy at best. This piece could be included on 1 DVD only. Breaking it up into multiple parts is just a gratuitous effort on the studios part to milk as much return out of this below average effort. Spend your hard-earned cash elsewhere, (...).

Summary: Blue had the blues
Review: I saw the commercials for this on Cartoon Network, and I was hooked-I had my Tivo record all the episodes. The beginning was slow going, and I waited for it to get better. And waited, and waited... I don't think the characters were well-developed at all; the only characters that held my interest were the submarine itself and the fish-people, specifically the girl that saved our hero. The ending left much to be desired, since it explained even less than the "beginning" did. I have to admit, the graphics were excellent, which is the only redeeming thing about this series. I would recommend almost any other anime series for an "introduction" series, or I might bore the Newbie to death.

Summary: cartoon network fan
Review: I saw this series on Cartoon Network one day, and I fell head over heels in love with it. I am not much of an anime fan, but I still thought it was great (which, for some reason, one of the other reviewers said probably wouldn't happen). It is hauntingly beautiful. I do feel that it is too short of a series, only because I liked it so much that I didn't want it to end.

Summary: only good for killing time...
Review: I wouldn't normally feel compelled to write a bad review for something, especially since every one is entitled to their own opinion, but I was exxtremely disappointed with this series. I bought this VHS because its trailer on several Cowboy Bebop sessions had caught my interest. The artwork wasn't bad - in fact, the CG work was excellent, but the characters themselves were poorly drawn. The storyline was trite, the voices (particularly dubbed) were TERRIBLE, and the lead female character was nothing short of annoying. Whether or not you'll like this series depends on what you're looking for. If you like mecha, action and a story that moves quickly- then go for it.But, if you are looking for something with s better story and better direction, I suggest something more like Cowboy Bebop or Utena.

Summary: Eye Candy!
Review: If you enjoy a good story with brilliant visual effects then this film is for you. The video's themselves are only 30 minutes long but are well worth watching. Pilots is even better!
