Summary: Beautiful Bishounen Boy Bonanza
Review: The ultimate bishounen (beautiful boy) anime has finally made its official bow on U.S. shores. Fangirls who have worn out their fansubs (and who spent many hours cringing at typos like "Byce" instead of Weiss) now have crisp, clear DVDs to drool over (and they keyword here is drool . . . eye candy has always been the main thing this series had going for it, although its plotline also makes an excellent springboard for fanfiction). The premise: Four young men are Tokyo florists by day, vigilantes by night. Under the aegis of the secret Kritiker organization, they eliminate heinous criminals who have slipped out of the grasp of the authorities. The episodes contained on this disc explore the pasts of two of the group members, Ken and Yohji, and show how much of a "normal" life all four have to sacrifice to complete their mission. (Including heterosexual romance. Small wonder this series has spawned so much yaoi -- male-male love -- fanfiction). So, it's not high art -- so what? These discs deliver good, mindless fun -- action, nice music and "anime babes who make me think the wrong thing" -- for relaxing at the end of a long day with a bucket of popcorn, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Those familiar with the original fansubs should avoid the dubbed version on this disc like the plague . . . the character voices are all wrong, especially Omi, who sounds 10 years too old and has lost all of his sweet innocence. But the subbed version is superb, with readable titles that don't distract from the lovely view of the boys. If you're a fan of bishounen stuff, like Gundam Wing, Kenshin or Tokyo Babylon/X, by all means, check this out.

Summary: It's here!!
Review: ^.^ If you love the series from watching the fansubs, you have got to get this DVD. If for nothing else than your fav guy in in DVD quality. But then, the animation wasn't ever great in this show. Oh, and the English voice actors ... are better than I thought they'd be, but still bad. Watch it in Japanese. But the dubbed "outtakes" are real good for a laugh! And the great thing is that it's 5 eps on one DVD, so you get plenty for your money! Can't wait for the next one!
Oh, and one should point out that this DVD also contain bios for the main voice actors. ^.^ So it's also good to get if you need to know about the real-life band. ^.~

Summary: Weiss Kreuz #1 anime for Bishounen!
Review: I'm happy to see that our kittens are going to be seen more in the USA. Now more people will get to see what a great anime it is. Farfarello with an English voice? That is worth seeing. I hope it is dubbed better then some if not all of the other anime that has been ruined to fit the screens for those in the U.S. And for all those who dislike weiss Kreuz, It's more pleasant for others for you to turn your head then state your opinion.Farfarello 4-Ever

Summary: A beautiful series finally becomes available to the public
Review: The first video in the Weiss Kreuz series will finally become available, which is something I've been waiting for for a long time. I became obsessed with the series months ago when my friend let me borrow her tapes she got from Japan. I was drooling by the end of the first episode. Now, I've seen every single episode and the first OAV movie. Everything in the series is near perfect. The plot is dark and yet beautiful, with pretty well done animation to boot. And I immediately downloaded the music and burned it. Well, I'm done raving about the series; it's time to get back to Diablo II. Read some other reviews to find out about the storyline, which, if I haven't mention, is wicked. Okay, that's all I'm going to say.

Summary: Hot Guys, Killing People, We think We're Cool
Review: Weib Kreuz, Knight Hunters, or whatever you may want to call it is an atrocious attempt to exploit girls and guys alike. The anime is centered around a group of "hot" guys who are beautiful that work in a flower shop by day and are assassins by night. Heres where the horror comes in. First off, the anime pulls in girls with hot guys who seem effiminate and attractive only to have them later go around murdering people. The show also is a trick to guys because for about 1/4 of the episode they have to put up with pointless drama, women oggling guys, and annoying drawn guys who are needlessly flashy to pull women in. Besides this the whole reason the anime was created itself is an insult to the industry. Originally, in Japan, a group of attractive and popular voice actors (Seiyuu) formed a band called Weiss Kreuz. They then used there popularity and talents to form an anime thay, as I explained, is a hokey, pointless piece of junk that exploits different crowds into watching it. Plus the animation is awful and the plot has maybe one or two interesting storylines that carrys through the whole series. Please, don't be pulled in by this exploitation of anime, popularity, and is an insult to anime itself.

Summary: White Hunters hunt the Futures of the Dark Beasts
Review: Or something like that, I forget the correct quote. *looks sheepish* The brainchild of the band Weiss (aka the main voice actors for the series) Weiss Kreuz is full of eye candy, and one of the more surprising plotlines I have seen. Usually, one can guess the nature of a series from the get go, but there's a few loops thrown into this one! About four bishounen (pretty boys) turned assassins with equally tragic pasts fighting against unjustice that is untracible by normal Japanese law. It is worth a glance (or more).

Summary: Definitely worth the Name Change!
Review: While I saw this series under its original name (Weiß Kreuz) It was worth the name change to have access to in on dvd! The story is more than your usual anime, with plenty of death to go around. What made it for me was the voice acting in the original Japanese. The voice actors bring a depth of emotion that is hardly ever found in American dubbing. Buy it now! ^_^

Summary: Yes! Dubbed!
Review: I seriously just watched my subtitled version of Weiss Kreuz and just said I wished it was dubbed. This is a great series filled with comedy and drama in one about a group of (beautiful) assassins taking on missions that eventually all tie into one. I loved the subtitled version but I prefer me dubs so this should be great!!!!
