Summary: I'm gonna watch it again!!!
Review: Ok, I'll level with you... There are a lot of hilarious cartoons out there for adults these days, but none (and I mean NONE) can compare to the snappy one-liners and incredible attention to detail of Invader Zim. The first time I watched a Zim show I practically wet my pants from laughing so hard (yes, I was 22...)! The second one I saw, between the intermitant need to pee my pants, I also noticed how unbelievably amazing the animation quality was in this show. Unlike so many other cartoons, the animators actually show some incredible talent and appear to take a huge amount of pride in their work. The same can be said about the writers. Very few "intended" jokes fail to illicit a stomach-wrenching guffaw from myself and my other friends. This show is not full of fluff... it's pure animation GENIUS!!
I do agree that it is a little too intense for children and therefore, I understand how Nickelodeon took it off of the air. What I don't understand is why the Cartoon Network hasn't picked it up and heaped loads of money on Mr. Vasquez to produce more and more until the show is forced to "jump the shark" from lack of material (which I see happening about 70 or 80 years from now...)
Anyway, my suggestion would be very simple: Put down the mouse, step away from your keyboard, grab your wallet and car keys and race to purchase Zim. I love Amazon, but seriously folks... with this cartoon, any amount of waiting is WAY TOO LONG!
I hope you enjoy the show!

Summary: The Impending Doom Is Upon YOU!!!!!
Review: To my knowlegde, no other "Nicktoon" has ever been as cool or as scary as Invader Zim. I didn't understand why the network took it off the air, but seeing this DVD opened my eyes. And I curse Nick for doing that!!!! This DVD is funny as Heck; every episode hits me from another direction, and the characters in this series are all unique. I can't wait for the next DVD to be released. But for now, if you love being a human, I urge you, TO GET THIS DVD, NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Doom Doom Doom will knock the Spongebob OUT OF YA!
Review: I must say this show is the most creative, beautifully drawn and hilarious show ever.

If you don't know the story here ya go: There's this alien, named Zim (voice by Richard Horvitz) and he is from a planet called Irk. The Tallest, his leaders, hate him and want to get rid of him, so they give him a defective Robot, GIR, and send him to a "secret planet" (earth). There he sets up base and stuff. He makes a disguise and goes to Skool, where he encounters Dib, the kid who knows he's an alien, but everyone else just thinks he's crazy. (oh yea, he has a goth sister who rocks, Gaz).

Anyway, This is the best show that anyone could ever watch. The DVD images are fantastic too, the commentary is pretty funny, and I like the interview with the cast. If you want to get someone obsessed with a new show, just buy them this DVD, and maybe buy JtHM for them. This show is not for the faint of heart though, there's violence and space battles and stuff, but who cares? If you rock you will get this DVD. But just to let you know, you may become obsessed, like me.

Remember: "Zim's not just a TV show, it's a lifestyle."

Summary: Hooray, we're doomed!
Review: Intelligent entertainment for all ages. The stories are simple enough on the surface level that kids will enjoy them. They also have a deep awareness of what has gone before in science fiction film and literature. The literary allusions run deep. The film allusions deeper.

No matter who you are, the stories are funny, cool, and engaging. The more diverse and rich the viewer's background in the classics of literature, film, art, and animation, the more enjoyable these cartoons become.

I lament the day they decided not to make any more of these.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best animated series ever.
Review: Any fan of the comic books would love this series. It's a dark comedy that really knows how the world works. What better way to say what Jhonen Vasquez has to say than with a deranged alien and a robot with absolutely no sense. I highly recomend this to anyone who has ever thought they may be crazy. You won't regret this purchase! "I miss you cupcake!"

Summary: Obey the fist!
Review: I have loved this show since i first saw it way back when i was in 7th grade. from zim's hilariously sayings like " Obey the fist!" and "invader blood marches through my viens like giant radioactive ruber pants, the pants command me, do not deny my veins!" to gir's completly random yet totally hilarous sayings like, "i loves them little tacos, i loves them good," and " do a little dance" this show is superior to all others. Buy this DVD now. Pustulio commands you.

Summary: All Hail Grr!
Review: Oh happy day! I thought this would never come out on DVD. "Invader Zim" is simply the greatest animated series ever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm Gonna Get Me Some of Them Tacooooooooooooos!!!
Review: Huzzah!!!!

Words can barely express my gratitude that ZIM is out on DVD! ZIM! ZIM!

Everyone in my family enjoys this cartoon. Me (I'm the mom), my husband, and my two sons, ages 13 and 4 1/2. We all love ZIM and GIR and Dib and Gaz, etc.

It's a happy time that even though the show was unjustly cancelled we can watch it whenever we want to thanks to DVD technology.

REMEMBER: Even though it is "only" 9 episodes there are two stories per episode (usually). There are really 17 stories on this disc!

I am in total bliss mode. My happy moment is now!
