Summary: review from a new and hopelessly addicted Lost Universe fan
Review: This was the first time I'd watched any of the Lost Universe DVDs, and now I'm hopelessly addicted! I'd heard about this series awhile ago and had heard it described as "Slayers in Space." Even though I was a huge fan of the Slayers series, this title didn't really spark any interest for the longest time. However, on a whim, I purchased this DVD one day, and I have to say... I really, really love it!!!! Even though I hadn't seen any previous episodes, I wasn't lost or confused when it came to the plot, making this still a great buy for newbies to Lost Universe as well as for the show's veterans. The characters are what make this series really shine. There's Kane, the cool psy-blade wielding, cape-wearing hero, Millie, the "best sharp-shooter in the universe" (or at least, so she thinks), and Canal, who is voiced by none other than by the famous Japanese voice actress Megumi Hayashibara! (Note: Watch the subtitled version with Japanese audio.. it's much better than the dubbed version!) Anyway, this show has funny moments that will have you laughing in no time, but it also has its serious and touching moments, too. The DVD itself has a nice menu screen with awesome opening/ending music. This is a must-buy for everyone!!! I can't wait to see more Lost Universe!!
