Summary: Some of the worst anime I've ever seen
Review: As a long-time anime fan, I get tired of seeing poor shows being highly rated in Amazon customer reviews. I sometimes wonder if anime fans are reluctant to admit that real stinkers exist in this genre too. I'm not trying to be overly harsh here, but I recommend that people avoid this show. While the price may be attractive, you might wind up wishing that someone could reimburse you for the time spent watching it. Eat-Man 98 is so implausible (yes, even for anime) that it's unintentionally funny, it has extremely flat characters, and very little plot. Its attempts to be sentimental failed miserably and left a bad taste in my mouth. The animation quality seemed average, but certainly nothing to brag about. While the show tries very hard to use typical anime stereotypes (troubled hero, evil scientists, etc...) in a new and interesting way, it fails to be accessible at all or strike a chord with the viewer.

Summary: Highly stylish
Review: EatMan 98 has incredible animation, a fun soundtrack, and pretty good stories. If you're expecting epic plotlines, you will be disappointed--each episode or group of episodes is a "day in the life" of the mercenary Bolt Crank, with no overall story arc. However, the standalones are quite good, and reveal a little bit more about Bolt's character each time. Ultimately, the series focusses on "ain't Bolt cool?" If you agree, you'll have fun--but if you don't, you'll be screaming about the tenth time he calmly walks in to save the day, accompanied by an appropriate theme.

Summary: Bolt is Boring
Review: I bought Eat-Man '98 for ($) and I thought it was a good buy for that amount of money. You get 5 hours of episodes and there are some good ones mixed in there. My big compliant is that Bolt Crank is supposed to be the strong silent type, but to me that just means he is really boring. The action scenes were good, but you always want Bolt to show some emotion and he never does. It is a alright set, but not the best by any means.

Summary: Supurb Animation and Sound
Review: I can not imagine having seen this on VHS. The animation is very amazing. It is sharp and crisp. The soundtrack is very catchy and they use it well. The episodes can become slow at times but that is just an expression of the main charecter Bolt Crank. I really recommend this DVD if you are into the artwork and the sound more than the story-line. However the episode titled "Bodygaurd" was one of the most imaganative cartoons I have EVER seen.

Review: I haven't seen this film personally, but i think what the reviewer before me means is that the movie has access to the english language (english dubbed) only in the first two episodes. Therefore the rest of the episodes are in "japanese" If the film were dubbed into japanese that would mean the film were originally in english. But, since we're in the japanimation department, it would seem to me the original language is japanese.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!
Review: I was really looking forward to this 2 set DVD collection of Eat-Man '98, but was horribly disapointed! There are so few cells of animation in this series, you feel as if you are watching a slide show! Pan's and zooms on average pics is not animation.... I hat to sound too harsh, but I was watched over 300+ anime videos, and would classify this as one of the worst 10 when it comes to money's worth..... DO NOT BUY THIS DVD SET!

Summary: EAT-MAN '98
Review: I've seen both EAT-MAN '97 and '98. '97 being my personal favorite. Anyway...The Eat-Man series is a very nice anime about a Mercenary (kills for money, Bolt Crank) who eats everything from a 9mm Pistol to an Out-of-this-world-huge-BEAM-gun... and after digesting it he makes it appear out of his right hand (this is the way he goes potty). Anyway, I like the series, its all kinda nice if you would like to see what the world would be like in a future or whatever.
