Summary: Haaaaaail Ilpalazzo!!!
Review: Before i say anything else, be assured that Larissa Wolcott was a fantastic choice to replace Jessica Calvello as Excel. I still miss Jessica, but Larissa did juuuust fine.The DVD itself is excellent, although the animation in Episode 15 was kinda weak, but the directors' song at the end more than made up for it. Episodes 16 and 17 are the most solid and the most funny ones in the series. Episode 17 must be watched in both English and Japanese, however, otherwise you will miss the infamous and horribly pronounced "HELLO! MERRY CHRISTMAS! I'M EXCEL-OO! YOU ARE DOG!" ...in Episode 16[was left uncensored] .It remains to be seen whether or not Episode 26 will be left uncensored though!!!

Summary: It's not the best anime, but who cares??!!
Review: Excel Saga is mostly... well, actually we still don't know what the heck it is. What we know for sure is that it is FUNNY. The animation is really good and the situations are irreverent and comical. Though the story is not what we expected, it is a good anime for those fans who like to buy a movie to have some laughs without thinking too much... just sit back, relax and enjoy the show because it is always a weird and very funny one.

Summary: WHOOO!!! HAIL LORD ILPALAZZO!!
Review: Excel Saga is so great, and this DVD is probably one of the best! Menchi is so cute in it, and Hyatt still remains my favorite. I disagree with those who say that the English dub voices [are poor quality]. Excel's voice is supposed to be annoying! It's the point of the the anime! :) I think that if you've been following Excel so far, you should FOR SURE see this, it's wonderful! Funny stuff!

Summary: hmmm....
Review: I absolutely loved the first two volumes. The third was a little watered-down and flat but still managed to be funny at times. I tried to overlook that by anticipating the humour revival in the following volume... only to find I'd been let-down even moreso. This volume is the least funny thus far and has discouraged my determination to collect any more of the series. Excel's voice has changed, it's sort of similar but still noticeably different. There's really only one funny episode and it's only funny compared to the others (otherwise it's not that funny at all), episode 16. Overall, this volume is sloppy, corny and sadly very boring.

Summary: Better, but get 5
Review: I like all the volumes, so I can't say I hate this. The animation can get poor, but I can deal with it. The new voice actress for Excel was super annoying to listen to in thebeginning. I liked Jessica a lot, and her voice was what made me like Excel. She was able to talk so fast and make funny expressions. I was use to the new voice later. But I miss Jessica. The new characters in the DVD are robots built by the...acting man Shioji who likes watching cute little anime girls, and that's why the Ropponmatsu's look hot. The produces are always complaing they need something before each episode. They sound funny. There is shoujo ai in ep. 16. The Ropponmatsu 2 is ripping Excel's clothes off, but you only get to see shadow shots and censoring. There isn't much Matsuya sighting. The last is when Excel and Hyatt fall to America. Excel is funny when she insults the American boys and talk Spanish. In Japanese, they talk English.

Summary: Different route, but still pretty hilarious.
Review: Okay, many have said that this volume is less funny than the previous volumes, but after watching these episodes I have to strongly disagree. I didn't laugh as much on the last disc, but this volume is well worth watching. Episode 14: The J.C. Staff is stumped on what should be done for the next half of Excel Saga, so they introduce Ropponmatsu, an android working for Kabupu and developed by a scientist with a fetish for young children.
Parodies: Excel Saga producers, Intel Celeron processor, Powerepuff Girls. Episode 15: The J.C. Staff is in another pickles since they made way too much merchandise on Ropponmatsu after she was destroyed. So they rewrite her back into the show with the inclusion of Ropponmatsu 2.
Parodies: Astro Boy, Nintento, Summer of Youth. Episode 16: The Ropponmatsus are rewritten back into the show AGAIN! This time, both of them form a romantic relationship with Excel and Hyatt.
Parodies: Speed Racer, Armored Trooper VOTOMS, Zambot 3, Space Battleship Yamato. Episode 17: Excel and Hyatt are sent to observe America and wind up in some odd situations involving the mafia and Sandora. So many paroides in this episode!
Parodies: Puni Puni Poemi, DiGi Charrot, Rocky, Sailor Moon, Wonder Woman, The Simpsons, Mickey Mouse, Sleeping Beauty, Walt Disney World, Naussica, Planet of the Apes, Dune. These episodes had a different flow to them, but they did work for me. I was very curious as to how ADV would dub Episode 17 since there were some English-dialogue jokes in it, but they succeeded with a mix of ghetto and Spanish slang. They even made a joke about Sailor Moon being dubbed in Canada. I really thought this episode was going to descriminate against American animation, but, to some degree, it's really not bashed so much in this episode. After all, Excel does shout "VIVA ANIMATION" referring to all animation. The extras on this disc are different from the past volumes, but they were actually cool to look at. There is an interview with the main voice actress for Puni Puni, as well as some comparison videos on the opening sequence. And for those who can't wait for Puni Puni Poemi, there is a small trailer for it on the disc. The special insert this time is a make-a-face cut out game. Overall, if you liked the series thus far and will love it no matter what, by all means pick up this volume. Episode 17 is more than enough reason to but this. It's probably one of the best episodes in Excel Saga and will easily make even the most jaded anime fan laugh.
