Summary: Slayers in Space - but so much more
Review: From the creator of Slayers, Lost Universe has been perhaps unkindly described as "Slayers in Space", the tale of bounty hunters for hire who will trek across the galaxy to earn a dollar. While the similarities are easy to draw, it's fair to say that if you enjoy the humour and action of Slayers, and don't mind massive battles in outer-space, you'll probably enjoy Lost Universe. Oh, and like Slayers, the soundtrack rocks too.

Summary: Awsome Anime!
Review: From the same writer of Slayers, this is one of the four Universe of Chaos according to the Slayers story.The story is basiclly about Kane Blueriver, a trouble-contractor, who wonders the galaxy on his Awsome starship and the loveable computer personality-Canal Vorfeed and the 100% accurate shooter Milly. One warning before buying this tape, if you don't want the story to be spoiled. AVOID watching this series and Slayers Try at the same time.

Summary: Funny Show with great Dub!
Review: Great special effects and performances put this show at the top of my list! Lost universe is a combination of Star Wars, Scooby Doo, and Star Trek with a japanese twist. One of the few anime's where I've laughed out loud. MUCH funnier than the subtitled version! A great Dub! A Great Buy!

Summary: The dub stinks
Review: In general Lost Universe is a standard sci-fi anime program. You have a mysterious ship, cute girls, and a guy who wields a sword of light, and attempts a humour which do not smoothly make the transition from stuff that the Japanese may find to be funny verses what most Americans would consider funny. The thing that makes this typical show really stink is the dub. The people that they choose are just horrible. Canal has an annoying voice, Kane is extremely whiny and childless in sound, and Milly sounds like a bubble head. This is clearly not one of A.D. vision's better dubs, so if you must watch this show go for the subtitled version.

Summary: The dubbing really isn't THAT bad
Review: Let's face it. All of ADVision's dubs are awful, however Lost Universe is one of the best ones. Actually, it's quite good, in my opinion.In my opinion, listening to a few annoying voices among mostly good acting and actors, I'd buy the dub so I don't have to spend $25 on a single subtitled tape.

Summary: Lost Universe!
Review: Lost Universe, a Slayers spin off, is incredibubly funny! The Characters are very funny and well developed right from the start. Between Kane talking about his grandmother and Winign about his cape getting dirty, Milly talking about being the "Best In The Universe" and Cannal wining that she's letting idiots run her (She's actual a holographic projection of a human form of the ship, Swordbreaker's computer) you'll be rolling on the floor laughing so heard it will hurt. Many of the voices in the Japanese version are the same as those from Slayers including the all-famous Midorikawa Hikaru! The music is also great from this seriese and it's opening theme, Infinity, is great to listen to even it you don't know Japanese. This is a great Anime, well dubbed int eh English version. the only problem might be if you don't like Animes that have the character's mouths move to the side of their face when they're facing certain ways. If you can get past this though I't very entertaining!

Summary: Mediocre for adults...
Review: Maybe it's Kain's high pitched whining voice or Millie's inability to cook (blowing up kitchens? STUPID PLOT DEVICE FOR UNIMAGINATIVE WRITERS!). I rented the first two DVDs and so far have put off going further. I'll never buy the series unless it gets REAL cheap. This is a series for kids above all else; it's clean, pretty sexless, and for an adult not too interesting. Bad points? Kain's flying around all alone but for the holographic projection from the main computer. I mean, give the guy a wife or girlfriend, make him human. I am tired of monks living in space. His voice is high pitched and whining, as I've stated before, but all things said there isn't any real reason he shouldn't have a significant someone with him. He just begs for being attached. I mean, I would love to see an episode with someone like Kain, his wife, his ex-wife, and a half dozen of his kids. CUT THE COOKIE-CUTTER MOLDS UP! Millie comes aboard and she's the stock girl with gun, the crack pistol shot you'll find eleswhere ad naseum. She doesn't even develop into Kain's gal pal. She could, yes, and she could have a someone in her life. They have some trite clashes going on. There is the beautiful assassin. Evil mysterious force trying to kill them. In the end, adults buying a series for kids whom they do not want to expose to more adult themes should consider it, if they think violence is okay and real girl-boy stuff not okay. This is afternoon cartoon network quality. Safe and bland.
