Summary: Buy Me
Review: ...My local Suncoast video had "Tempest" in stock,and I have "Emergence" on order, to arriveGod-knows-when. (Credit cards are still a bit rich for this poor scholar's blood or I'd have ordered both of 'em here.) Even starting the series on Episode 2, working from backstory and the jollyroper review of Episode 1, I am impressed. Author Dr. Pochi is onviously working from Professor John Norman's "Gor" series, and is using a lighter touch than Prof. Norman, but the same sword-and-sandal, male dominant/female submissive tale of derring-do and happiness in slavery hits all the right notes. The slavegirls of Minerva get away with more than a Gorean master would stand for, but Gor fans will not be _greatly_ displeased. Ex-princess and future Slave Queen Diana has a talent for matchmaking, which her master Sho indulges to good effect in their dealings with the merchant city of Sos and in derailing the schemes of rival kingdom Gupta to overthrow Sho and Diana's beloved Doria. I eagerly await "Fencer of Minerva:Emergence" to make my set complete. It's like postcards from my spiritual homeland. Ta sardar Gor/Minerva, ta thassa. I wish you well.

Summary: Anime thong song video
Review: Fencer of Minerva: The Tempest is a very disappointing anime. The female characters are slaves or eventually become slaves. They have shackles around their necks and a flimsy top and a g-string to "cover" their bottoms. The plot drags and the action is basically missionary. The clothes keep falling of the slaves at the sight of another male, or female in some instances. The characters are not developed or likable. Diana, who is a princess; was strong willed, and a great swordsman. She also had to put on her thong for Master Sho, and become his personal slave (oh joy). (sniff, sniff) I own Vol 1 and 2 of this series. You have been warned.

Summary: The worst film I have ever seen
Review: The entire film plays like an adolescent boy's wet dream.

A spirited princess escaped a forced marriage only to be captured by slave traders and given as a sexual slave to her childhood friend. Because she loves him she is happy to be his slave and renounces her identity so that she will not have to fight against him.

That's it for the plot. The first thing I should say is this is truly bad anime. The animation is nothing special, there's virtually no characterization or conflict and the dubbed dialogue is atrocious. Most of the film is given over to two things: reinforcing to the viewer that Sho and Diana were childhood friends and gratuitous shots of Diana's nude body and the experience of her sexual awakening.

This film is hideous in its depiction of women. If there was a decent plot with any actual depth there might be something to recommend it, but there isn't. If you want to watch anime sex, go get one of the Countdown movies or Rei Rei, at least they don't pretend to have a plot. If you want actual depth to your plot and a medieval (or quasi-medieval) setting, get Heroic Legend of Arislan, which is wonderful.

Summary: A bit of a disapointment
Review: Well...at first i noticed that most of the female characters in this anime..are barely dressed while the men are decently covered..why is that?..second of all Diana realy got me hooked at first but then she yeilded in being a slave..To Sho? coz he's her childhood sweet heart? ...if he really loved her he wouldn't let her go on disgracing herself..he should have married her..thats another thing...and i think the story would have been ten times more exciting if Diana put up a struggle ..like the one she had at the first episode..i think if she had,...Sho would have been more and more into her...
And the sex..God the sex!...Its in every scene.!
Note the Diana lets Sho take other woman!!...Iw anted to kill her!!
I swear...
but i liked the characters...
If your bored and need something to watch..take this

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Recomended for Children
Review: With a title called "Fencer of Minerva", would you expect at least a few quality sword fight scenes? Yes! Would you also expect there to be a splash of humour that is characteristic of most anime? Probably. Did "Fencer Of Minerva" prvode anything worth watching? Maybe if you like hentai.

To be completely honest, I feel this is the first anime that wasted my time, because I didn't feel entertained while watching it. I am a huge fan of anime like "Cowboy Bebop", "Martian Successor Nadesico" and "Trigun". Even with the less popular "Lost Universe" series, I was at least able to laugh with it.

The one thing that I will NOT take away from this DVD title is the quality of the animation that is presented. Clean from beginning to end, and perfect quality too. Great transfer, and props go to Central Park Media for it.

No matter how good the video and audio are, I honestly don't think this is worthy in any anime collection. That is, unless it's a hentai collection.

Reccommended For Ages 16+
