Ruin Explorers

Summary: Ruin Explorers -- A Wonderful Artifact!
Review: ...Though short, this series was far from lacking a good storyline or character development. In fact, this series houses two of my all-time favorite anime characters: Fam and Lyle. And though this will never be my favorite anime series, it will certainly always rank pretty high on my charts. This was a joy to watch, and I've seen this series many times over. It had an endearing, bittersweet story, plenty of action, romance, and even a few comical moments. And the animation isn't anything to be sneezed at, either! And for you bishonen lovers out there, check out Lyle! With a well though-out and drawn-out plot, with interesting characters and cool animation to boot....

Summary: I don't like it
Review: At first it was pretty good but what is terrible about it is the ending of the 4th episode. It was disappointing and it needs more work. If I were director of it I would make the ending a lot more better.

Summary: Fun, yeah, but ultimately nothing special
Review: Here we have your standard fantasy treasure hunt, complete with cat-girl and spunky herioine. The animation is pretty good, the visuals bright, and the slapstick blah. The main problem with it is that there is nothing in it I hadn't seen before. The characters are borrowed from series such as The Slayers, the magic is no more impressive than, say, Lodoss War, and the plot is right out of a hack fantasy novel. If it took all of the standard elements and tried to do something new and interesting with them, I'd rate it higher, but overall, this is an example of a decently done anime title that seems eerily familiar.

Summary: this is entertaining, I liked it
Review: I don't know how this compaires to Slayers (as I have yet to watch the 8 DVDs I ordered)...but it's a decent, funny, action-filled comedy D&D type anime... I got to watch this in original Japanese...and it's really good...and I even liked the ending...it didn't leave me hanging, it was "complete" enough for me...take a chance on the DVD version...it's well worth it...

Summary: One of the better
Review: I own a lot of anime and have seen even more. Ruin Explorers impressed me with its well drawn art and a story with a few twists to keep you guessing. After I watched the first tape I was glad I had gotten the second tape at the same time. If I hadn't I would have bit me nails until well... you get the picture. My point is this anime is good and that don't buy just one. One is not enough! You will NEED the second tape after watching the first. As a minor note if you have the dubbed version of a Slayers movie the dubbed version of Ruin Explorers is fun to watch since they use some of the same voices. This is one anime not to be passed up.

Summary: Funny, action packed, deep characters....
Review: If youre looking for a laugh, if youre looking to cry, if youre juss looking for some highly framed animation, then this mini series is for you. It has a deep plot and while at that, the humor isnt left out. This is the type of anime youd watch over and over. The one thing this DVD is missing, is more characters. More is better, specially in anime. But that's not biggie. This quality movie replaces the flaw. It has a more than average "extras" section compared to most otehr anime DVD's. A must have for anyone trying to add to their anime library.

Summary: I've seen worse in anime, but....
Review: Is there anything good to say about this anime? Well... I can't think of anything right now. All the characters were very flat and two-dimensional. The story was choppy, the dialogue was dull, and the animation was mediocre at best. I think this anime was supposed to be humorous, but it even fails at that. I am a fan of this genre of anime, but I would strongly recommend against anyone adding this particular title to his or her collection.
