Summary: My personal favorite out of the 4 DVD's.
Review: In my last review I just gave an overview of what to expect from the series. In this review I'll talk more about what's on this DVD.
In this DVD there are 3 episodes. The Little Girl From Technicolor Town is the first. This is one of the 3 original episodes I mentioned before.
In this episode Jing and Kir find a girl who is being sold in an auction because she is considered to be a work of art. Jing and Kir try to protect her and also to find the last true masterpiece of her Father "Van Kuot". (Forgive me if I misspelled that.)
As one of the 3 original episodes in this series, this one is all right, but it isn't the best of the 3.The next 2 episodes are "The Lost City of Reviver" Parts 1 & 2. (Ignore that it says Reviva in the sub and dub, because it's wrong.) This is the reason why This is my favorite of the 4 DVD's. This is one of my favorite stories in the manga (Out of the 5 volumes I've read.) and is my favorite in the anime.
The story starts out with Jing and Kir causing a ruckus in the city of Corpse and escaping on a giant PAPER Airplane.
Upon their escape they are greeted by a girl by the name of Vermouth who tells them of a story that could lead them to the secret of eternal life.
SO they set out in search of the Lost City of Reviver. Hounding them every step of the way are Pernod and his assistant China Lilet.
Now this story more than any other story in the anime follows what I said about the intrigue leading to the find the next treasure taking precedence to the action. Because on each step of their journey Jing and Kir have to solve riddles to find out where to go next. Plus you get to see Jing use Kir in a rather cool way. Anything else I said about the last DVD is the same for this one, but there is one thing I forgot to mention before. To be frank, ADV's subtitling job sucks. They get some characters names wrong and they sometimes even mess up whole sentences. For example, as I mentioned above they got Reviver wrong on this DVD. It wasn't really apparent to me just how bad of a job they did though until the 3rd DVD where they get quite a few names wrong. And in that respect the last DVD was the worst of all of the DVD's.
I shall get into more detail on that in my later reviews. So until then, goodbye.

Summary: *none*
Review: Now this is one good anime. I love the animation and the music. I gave it 4 stars because the dub is kind of off and not timed correctly. Now down to the details. The animation is good, as I said above. Music is too. But it's the fight scenes that are odd. Instead of using any "real" weapons, Kir always transforms and Jing calls out "Kir Royale!" and a blast comes out of Kir's throat. Another odd scene is where Kir Royale fails so Jing takes Vermouth's(?) "umbrella" and rams it down Kir's throad and uses Kir Royale and it blasts the umbrella out with the blast. Overall, this os a wonderful anime. Probably suitable for ages 10 and up for language(one word in the first ep. but the subs say the "H" word alot).
