Summary: Perhaps not the best, but definitely one of the first. . . .
Review: "Ronin Warriors" originally aired some time in the mid-nineties, and I was hooked. There was literally nothing else quite like it on TV at the time. I was one of the lucky ones who got to watch it weekday afternoons (someone else mentioned it was on at about 6 in the morning in their market) but even so sometimes real-life interfered. I never had access to Cartoon Network when they acquired the rights, so when the DVD release began I jumped right on it.

Okay, so maybe my memory was full of holes after all.

When I watched the subtitled version, a lot of the magic seemed to be gone. Maybe it's just that I've watched a lot of anime since then, but this series seemed average, not special like I had first thought. While I had come to epect that the names and personalities would be different, it seemed odd that things were just...average. Still, I've stuck it out because, until now, I've had this urge to see what I missed.

And I guess that may be the key thing: If you've missed out in the past, this collection is probably the best way to experience it (though I do have to wonder just WHY the DVD needs to be double-sided.)

Summary: Horay for Ronin Warriors!
Review: I am so happy that they finally decided to release Ronin Warriors. I have been a huge fan of this show since it first came on back in the early 90's. I used to get up at like 6 in the morning with my sister just to watch it. I loved it so much. And finally they are releasing the entire show in uncut episodes! And they are including the uncut YST episodes too. Now I can finally see the original version and see what all they changed when they brought it over. This is such a great anime to add to any collection. I can't wait to get them all. Maybe they will even dub the OAV's. One can only hope. : )

Summary: Yoriden Samurai Troopers
Review: I am SO happy they're releasing the uncut version of this awesome series in the US!!! I've been waiting for this ever since I learned about how much they changed about the Masho and the names that were changed...XD Naaza's name was changed to an Egyptian FEMALE God's name! x.x; I can't wait till it comes out and it will definately go into my collection!!!!

Summary: CCCCCYYYYYYEEEEEEEEE
Review: I first saw Rw when it aired on Cartoon Network, I knew it was gonna be a wicked show from just the commerical and I was right ^^ Rw is one of the best Anime out there in my opinion. The characters are great and the story lines wicked to.

Summary: YST at last :3
Review: I first saw this on Fox when I was in about fifth grade at unholy hours of the morning, and like many, I guess I just became quite hooked. I still haven't run into anything quite like it, and really enjoyed seeing the series again.

It's not -the best-, but the animation is still quite good, as is the music (Well, in -my- opinion), and the storyline. However, something that I found rewatching it was that the dubbed version isn't as good as I remember it, and is actually kind of cheesey, and perhaps inflates certain qualities of the characterization. In the subtitled version, however, I found there to be more depth to the dialogue (though I admit I couldn't keep from laughing at the mentions of Arago's awesome powers of doom XD and the soldiers of doom, and etc), and the characterization seems overall a lot better and their emotions seem a lot more genuine.

The idea has kind of been done ^^; but I still feel it's unique, and a breath of fresh air, and it still remains one of my favourites.

Summary: Only one of the best shows in anime
Review: I first saw this show when it aired for the first time in 1995. I've been addicted to it since. I've been living off recorded episodes and I've been eagerly awaiting these DVDs. This show is a must see for all anime lovers.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Quake with Fear, Snakebite Strike
Review: I have wanted these movies ever since I first saw them. I even tried to record all of them on blank tapes but they were only run twice. If you're a serious fan of anime, get this DVD and the others.

My only regret is that there are no subtitles for the "Ronin Warriors" as there are for "Samurai Troopers".
