Summary: Decent movie, decent animation, GOOD price
Review: A complete set for a cheap price is the largest bait this has to offer. The animation is decent, but not top notch. The story could also use a lot of work. If your a teen looking for a laugh or just a silly few hours, I suggest this to any of you (even girls). This is totally NOT a fanboy/serv. video, just good clean silliness.

Summary: Wow...what a great Anime!
Review: After watching the entire series, I'm just totally blown away...Moldiver is one of the best, if not THE best Anime out there! When I saw the first episode I wasn't that impressed, but it gets BETTER! It has one of those wonderful storylines along with a great plot, that you can't stop watching. Great characters with in-depth details so good you get drawn into the movie. The animation is beautiful too with wonderful detail down to every last freckle, well almost anyway! A MUST-SEE for any Anime fan!

Summary: Superheroine fun!
Review: As other reviewers have said, this isn't the best anime ever, just good entertainment. The movie combines romantic comedy, homemade superheroes and power suits to create a fun short story.Most of the actual story is about Hiroshi and Mirai trying to prevent the evil Dr. Machinegal from stealing pieces of retro technology for his collection. When Mirai is in control of the Moldiver suit, which is most of the time, we are treated to massive destruction of anything that crosses her path, such as buildings, roads, the odd spacecraft and the occational evil mecha doll. Mix this with a nice dose of romantic fun as Mirai and another girl try to impress the handsome Mr. Misaki and you have Moldiver in a nutshell. *Spoiler below* Because most of the episodes are light comedy I was a bit surprised at the bittersweet ending. I have to disagree with the editorial reviewer who thought the "Last minute romance" between Mirai and Misaki was forced. Both because there was no "romance" as far as I could tell and because Mirai had been chasing him from episode 1. Also, Misaki obviously cared for Mirai, but perhaps more as a friend than a girlfriend. Personally I thought it was a good twist to the story that Mirai didn't force Mr. Misaki to choose between her and his dream. I actually thought it was kind of noble in a way, to avoid troubling him with the fact that she was really sad to see him go and thereby letting him pursue his dream without regrets.
If it wasn't for a good ending I'd probably have rated the DVD at 2-3 stars. To sum it up: Lots of romantic fun, Lots of destructive fun, Lots of fun situational comedy and good ending, but generally uninteresting conflict lines Moldiver<->Machinegal.

Summary: Not worth the time and money to collect.
Review: Beyond the Project: A-ko movie/OVA series, there's very few anime out there who can compete with the whole superhero genre of series or movies available. In steps Moldiver, which was a rather refreshing storyline and character study. The story itself was unlike anything I had seen at the time when the series premiered here in North America, while it does borrow mecha and hardsuits, the Moldiver concept brought a very interesting layer to the story. The characters are typical of Japanese animation, however, somewhat more beleivable despite the super-situations these normal people are placed into. It's a great series to watch, with outstanding voice acting from Nogami Yukana [Mirai] (in which this she makes her debut, but would go on to star in Tenshi ni Narumon and Card Captor Sakura), and veteran performances from Hiramatsu Akiko [Mao] (Nene from the original Bubblegum Crisis) and Morikawa Toshiyuki [Hiroshi] (of Gundam X, Gundam 0083, Gundam Wing, and V Gundam). A wonderful and enjoyable series to watch, I sincerely wish they had continued the story.

Summary: The Best!
Review: Excellent Anime! My personal favorite of the entire Moldiver series. Really wonderful animation, with characters in detail to every freckle, well, close anyhow. Excellent plot and really tight storyline, in which the characters fall into perfectly.

Summary: Better than I thought!...
Review: I bought Moldiver because the art looked cool, because of the price, and because I love Anime. Prudish parents be warned, there is nudity, however it is NOT sexual in any way. I wasn't expecting much at this price but as it turns out, this is a worthy part of any collection. Even a "hardened, seen it all," Anime veteran friend of mine thought it looked cool based on just 7 minutes. The quality of the art is 10x better than what you see on the cover. The first episode is a bit slow, but is important. It starts moving along with the 2nd episode. Moldiver is mostly comedy, and is partly a love story. BTW, I call it a movie because it has a beginning and an end, despite the end being a potential for a new beginning. I'll try to do Moldiver some justice by pointing out a couple of the many scenes (sans some details for the sake of brevity and for the sake of "surprise") that I consider to be hilarious. Please note that I've done my best not to reveal anything: 1) The inventor of the Moldiver saw the professor and ended up showing him an "ancient" video tape instead. As it turns out, the professor is the bad guy [1st episode]. 2) The hero goes into a changing room, a burst of light appears, and out comes the transformed hero. A bystander looked in shock. This is hilarious because it shows how "unprofessional" this hero is [3rd episode]. 3) The hero "saves the day" but always manages to cause massive destruction in the process [ongoing]. 4) The hero, having started out, got so wrapped up in competing against an enemy and getting used to the suit that they got side tracked momentarily forgetting to rescue someone [1st episode]. Take the same chance I did, I'm sure you'll love Moldiver :)

Summary: Not bad, not great...
Review: Moldiver is a good blend of sci-fi, action, comedy, and shoujo. The funny parts mostly pertain to the the Mol Unit. When Mirai tampers with the Mol Unit's programming, the transformation results become unpredictable. Sometimes Hiroshi gets turned into a female-type superhero with a man's voice... at times Mirai becomes a male-type Moldiver. I find the whole concept of the Mol Unit fascinating and refreshingly original. The plot gets a dose of romance with Mirai's ongoing pursuit of Misaki. There is definitely a lot of action - chases, physical fights, explosions... the works! The art and animation are quite good in quality, but borders a bit on the cutesy side. I find it kinda freaky but Moldiver sports quite a number of panty shots and weird shots of various parts of the female anatomy (mostly butts and legs). Moldiver also uses scientific jargon to explain things, so one could get lost in the terminologies. I also find some of the eps lacking in depth. The English dubbing is quite good though. On a side note, everything does build up to a nice climax by the last episode. Overall, Moldiver is worth checking out.

Summary: Great Anime
Review: Much better than the first Vol. Goes into detail on characters much more. It also has a very wonderful and somewhat perplexing plot.
