Summary: Great Concept - But allready been done
Review: Ok...heres the deal. If you like the BubbleGum Crisis Series then you will probably like this one. Truthfully the animation is a whole lot better in this series, but when I watched it, it was like dajavu of listening to the BubbleGum Crisis storyline all over again. I did however enjoy this series and it does have alot of differences between the series, but if you did not like BubbleGum Crisis you are not going to like this series. The 2nd DVD (episodes 5 - 8) is has better and I can't wait for the 3rd disk to come out. I enjoyed this series to say the least :)

Review: When "Virus -Virus Buster Serge-" first came out in 1997, I was really impressed by the storylines and character designs. The characters have a feel of something like "Weiss Kreuz" and the animation style of the "Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture" or Masami Obari anime style.

I really enjoy anime such as "Bubblegum Crisis" and when watching this anime, it reminded me of "Bubblegum Crisis meets Gatchaman" and the action is intense and I just felt that this anime television series was just so impressive.

Almost six years later, Manga Entertainment has chose to release this anime television series in the United States and fans of anime series such as "Bubblegum Crisis", "Gatchaman" or "Evangelion" will not be disappointed. It's a solid series about artificially enhanced humans and what happens when digital viruses start to control their hosts. Sounds like Boomers from "Bubblegum Crisis" but the difference is the team known as S.T.A.N.D. who are a group of two men and two females with a mysterious teammate or rival named Serge.

The anime is full of action and characters that are very interesting that you'll want to watch more and more. The theme song "Rainy Day and Day" by Dragon Ash is awesome and the DVD. What about the DVD?

Well, first let me remind you that this is a television series from back in 1997. The graininess is evident in this anime compared to other television series and it does show it's age. Why that is, I don't know but it's not as crisp and clear compared to other anime television series but it's not terrible but videophiles may be bothered by it.

The other thing that will only bother purists of the original TV series is the change of opening and ending segments. As well as the chapter stops not being at the beginning of the episode perse (beginning of opening segment) but after the opening sgement. Also, the lack of romanizations or translations for the lyrics. For me, this was a bit bothersome but for those who have never seen the series, they probably will not even know this or care.

As for special features, like most mecha related anime, you have your character designs and mecha designs and character information.

All in all, "Virus" is still one heck of an anime to watch and a deserves a placement in your collection if you are a fan of the different anime I mentioned earlier.

Check it out!
