Summary: Excel Saga
Review: Excel saga is a great anime if your a die-hard fan or Otaku as i like to call it. It makes many referances to other animes that are popular that mainly otaku will get. I believe this anime is excellent for anyone to watch but id first watch some other anime if your a n00b to get half the jokes.
This series made me crack up from beginning to end and i Highly recommend it as an addition to any otakus dvd collection.

Summary: HOLY SH*T
Review: Wow. My dad got this DVD in hopes of watching it. He did not last. I, however, was enthralled at the overall insanity that was going on during this hilarious parody anime. It is hilarious in the truest sense of the word. Excel is one of my inspirations to annoy friends over the internet, and she never fails to make me laugh. This is possibly the greatest anime that I have seen.

Summary: Pretty hilarious, but the English track screeches too much
Review: I'm not an Anime old-timer, I've only seen a handful of things. I encountered a budget copy of the first Excel Saga, and found the gags pretty darn entertaining. These disks would be REALLY great if Excel's voice track was toned down just a little. It can get pretty tiresome to have to concentrate so hard on the screeching rapid-fire dialog to make sure I can make out what she's saying. The dialog is generally pretty hilarious, but just a little too over-the-top to the point that it borders on the fingernails-on-the-blackboard effect. Looks like the production company has the problem in general as well, as I also picked up Puni Puni Poemy by them and it has pretty much the same problem. The main character's dialog track borders on torture, and is pretty much a constant feature...
