Summary: Simply the Best
Review: After years of dorm life studying Anime (Japanize Animation) I descovered one Glorius series, you got it this one, Ushio and Tora.This anime did away with all the sex, violence and most of the bad language that other animes have so much of, and delivered a very heart warming story, that people of all ages can enjoy!! The whole story is about this columbian boy named Ushio and his pet mule named Tora which he rides 200 miles mule-back a day up the hills to hand pick coffee beans to peddle at the market to supply for his family`s needs. During his adventures he descovers the meanings of life, freindship, even death. This animated film will make you laugh, it will make you cry and yodel 80`s dance songs. This film will change your life!! ^_^

Summary: One of the best
Review: Even thought not as popular as series like Dragon Ball Z and Neon Genesis Evangalion, or even not heard of Ushio and Tora is an extremely funny show thats only downfall is that the series is kinda short. The entire thing is sort of like a japanese Calvin and Hobbes if you ask me(except with cussing and violence) Watch it it's good!

Summary: Calvin and Hobbes, eat your hearts out.
Review: I bought the dubbed version of this tape only because I thought it might suck as a subtitled. Surprise, surprise, this was one of the best dubbed tapes I've watched. Then I checked out a subbed and that one was pretty good too. Even though the animation designs for the humans suck, the monsters are pretty well thought out and look believable. If this series ever comes out as a DVD set I'm jumping straight on it....

Summary: Madness Tora style
Review: I got the subbed video version of this years ago; and it was one of the quirky strange little series that I've kept and enjoyed for years. Ushio frees the powerful demon he names Tora to save his friends; and so becomes responsible for a monster who enjoys eating people, causing mayhem, and whose simple presence draws out ancient demons and evil from hidden places across Japan. Ushio keeps alive and ahead using attitude, temper and the ancient magical spear that once trapped Tora. Visually, the combination of bright colours and harsh angled lines works. The Japanese subbed version was a lot of fun: I haven't seen a dubbed version. The characters have a bit of depth, and do grow and change through the story. Nor are the monsters stereotypical. Some are immense and seemingly mindless, some are insane with grief and despair or the need for revenge, others are simply desperate. My personal favourites: the family of giant flying heads! Ushio and Tora is a little odd, a little funny, and painfully sad in places. All of the characters are alienated in different ways, and looking to make sense of being alive and sharing that life with each other. Tora wants to both connect with and EAT the other characters - so some of the situations can rapidly spin out of control! The episodes consist of short story arcs introducing different monsters. The issues get darker and more complex with each story arc, with human deaths, and more difficulty in finding the 'moral high ground'. The monsters are not necessarily evil: some were even once benign. But none of them fit the modern world. All up: I like this series every time I re-watch it. Bonus One: There is no huge cliffhanger at the end. Bonus Two: The videos included some fun little shorts using the cute, squashed characters the Japanese love. I don't know if these will be added to the DVD. Also a lovely short where Tora adopts a kitten. If they are on the DVD, they're worth a look.

Summary: Excellent... Spears, demons, and an attitude!
Review: I got this tape, thinking, ahh, what the heck? Something new to watch. Let's just see if it's any good. Was I ever surprised! You can sit back and watch it, and no matter your mood, you will be laughing at the end of the tape! With Tora constantly trying to either eat Ushio or get as far away from him as possible, and Ushio constantly hitting him in the head with the spear, the laughter rarely stops!

Summary: Calvin & Hobbes They Ain't
Review: I have provided voices for several dozen English dubbed anime titles, and this subtitled show was so appealing that I begged the company (A. D. Vision) to let me write and direct a dubbed version--which they did. Now, purists will tell you that the subtitled version is better; I can't agree, since after all I've got a vested interest in the dub--but this show is hilarious! Ushio didn't believe his father's tale of a 500-year-old demon in the basement, until he literally trips over the truth...and finds himself the only thing standing between the monster and the anihilation of his village. Eventually becoming a kind of "buddy film" across 10 episodes (5 tapes), this pair is riotously funny to watch. Buy this subtitled version. Okay, compare it to my dub, if you want to make me happy, but really--this show is great no matter how you watch it! (Tristan MacAvery, voice actor, writer/director)

Summary: Ushio & Tora 3 : Tora goes to Town
Review: If you like Takahashi's "Inu Yasha" manga you may like Ushio and Tora anime series! ADV films has a mature audiences/Parental Guidance for violence and strong language for these videos. I find them less offensive than the "Halloween" or "Friday the 13th" Movie series. I watched this in a subtitled format so strong language that you have to read loses a lot of the shock value. The character developement thruout this series remains strong and you get caught up in Ushio's Teenage friendship / romance / Love triangle. The violence was nicely balanced by the comedic scenes of Tora trying to cope with modern day city life. I would have gave this video five star for content. I took back a star for the high price.
