Summary: Interesting
Review: Its ok if your not picky what you watch.Ok, I purchased this cause it was cheap (relatively) and because it looked interesting. While I will agree that there is little animation it didn't bother me much. What did bother me was the fact that on ep 2 and 10 there is static on the top and bottom of the screen when it switches scenes. The storyline is interesting but not captivating, I would say it is decent for the price, but I would only say it is standard anime.

Summary: Unique story line
Review: The story is based on Bolt Crank, a mercenary for hire, who was genetically altered. After eating metal objects he can reproduce them through is right hand, when ever he needs them. The animation its self is very good, and the sound track is excellent. Only the first two episodes are dubbed in english. The other problem is the subtitles are incomplete, in the 5th episode the characters continue to speak, but the subs do not continue, so unless you understand Japanese, you miss part of the story. The subtitles return to normal in the second half of the episode. Eat-Man '98 is worth the money, even if you do not like subtitles.

Summary: No Cowboy Bebop or NG Eva, but not bad.
Review: To be honest, I didn't expect much when I bought this DVD set. I'd heard all the bad reviews, all the bad ratings. Why did I buy it, then? I have no idea. But I was pleasantly surprised. This show is hardly as bad as people portray it to be. The animation is fluid, and I didn't notice hardly any re-used cels. The colors are vividly beautiful. The character designs are nice. The music is nothing to jump up and down over. It's not bad, not too good. While watching the show, I listened to only a few seconds before skipping over the opening and ending themes, but I tend to do that with all my anime shows, unless the themes really catch my attention. The characters were actually a lot more interesting than critics declared. Bolt Crank IS an extremely taciturn character, but the times when he cracks out a sullenly cold one-liner were well-done. And I don't know if I've been watching too much anime, but I couldn't stop cracking up at the parts where an armed person threatens Bolt, and Bolt calmly eats the weapon right out of the person's hands, in front of shocked bystanders who are like, "What the--?" The side characters were also interesting, especially the characters from the four-parter. Plots were somewhat predictable, but if you're coming into this series looking for something astoundingly original--that is, besides the "eating metal and producing it out of your hand" stuff--then you're looking in the wrong place. Eatman 98 is not philosophical and thought-provoking high entertainment, but it IS entertaining. And for the price it's going at, this is a steal.
