Summary: The worst of the 4 DVD's.
Review: I start this review by saying, that out of the 4 DVD's this one is the worst of them. Out of the 3 episodes on it only one of them is actually good. The first episode is "Don't drop the Porvora". In this episode Jing and Kir are searching for the Sunstone which is said to be in the land of Sungria. On their way to Sungria they are given an offer to take 2 creatures called Porvora's to Sungria. These are creatures than can explode if their irritated and are often used as explosives. Jing accepts the offer, despite Izarra's (The girl in this story.) attempts to change his mind.
This single episode was also in the manga, and it was a much longer more drawn out story than in the anime. Which could have easily been a 2 part story here. That would've been much better than including the next episode that was on here. Because as it is packing everything into one episode, things felt WAY too rushed. The next episode "The Musical Island of Coco Oco" is another original episode and is the worst episode on this DVD. (And in my opinion the worst in the series.) Jing & Kir visit the musical Island of Coco Oco, a place where the people really love music. They are in search of a legendary Ocarina that is said to be found there, but upon there arrival Kir gets irritated with Jing, who doesn't even seem interested in finding the treasure and splits up to search on his own.(And to find some beautiful girls.) And in turn ends up bumping into this episodes girl.
We see a lot of Kir by himself and trying to help this girl out.
While at first this episode does seem kind of promising with the introduction to the musical island as we see virtually everything on the island making some kind of musical sound. But even that ends up falling short, because besides at the end we don't see it epxand upon that at all. The last episode on here totally took me by surprise. (I'm sorry I can't remember the name of it.) This is the last of the original episodes, and as the previous 2 weren't very good, I wasn't expecting much out of this one.
In this story Jing and Kir accidentally get off at the wrong stop on there way to Zaza (This is the only time you every see any sign of continuity in the series.) and in turn end up discovering Bluwari, the land of the Porvora. Which is watched over by the lovely Elixir ( I wound up really liking her a lot for some reason.) who takes care of the Porvora. But while Jing and Kir are being shown around the place there are thieves at work trying to bust in because they believe there is some great teasure hidden there.
I really liked this episode because it had a lot of mystery to it, and the land of the Porvoras was a much cooler place than I thought it would be. As with the last DVD this one has a few spelling errors in it. The only major one was getting Izarra's last name totally wrong. It says it Danbura, but it's actually Tumbler.
In that respect though this DVD wasn't really that bad, but be prepared, because it gets really bad in the last DVD.
