Summary: This anime is great!!! I wish everyone would love it!!!!!
Review: This series is the BEST!!! I have seen all the episodes shown on adult swim. I taped all of them and watched them over and over, but unfortunatly the tapes were corrupted and now I'm buying the whole series on DVD. The series isn't a copy off of anything, but the only disappointing part is that the series is cut off when it could have and should have gone a lot further.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Wonderful Series
Review: Well, actually, I haven't seen the DVD! But, I have watched the show on Cartoons Network's Adult Swim. Pilot Candidate is one of my most favorite animes! I'm not going to go over the story, because you can read that from the other reviews.

The graphics are amazing! Some people don't like the 2D caracters on the 3D backgrounds as I take it from their reviews. I actually love it! It gives the show a neat effect that you don't usually see in any other anime! It brings the story to life in a sense. It is VERY cool looking!

I also LOVE the plot in general! the caracters are well developed with personalities and habits. I can relate to some of them, and understand their feelings! The story is kind of mysterious in a way, and always leaves me with that feeling. It's very cool to know that a show leaves me like that, making it enjoyable for me to watch. You piece the story together bit by bit to find out new things! I feel quite emotional when watching this show. You take a ride through the characters minds and feelings. It gets quiet addictive! There is not much action though. It is based more on the storyline itself through mysteries and ideas.

I watch ALOT of anime and I must say I rate this show as one of my favorites! To help you decide whether ot not you may enjoy this, I will list what other shows I watch and enjoy: Sailor Moon, Yu Yu Hakusho, Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Tenchi Muyo, Dragonball Z, and I think Dragonabll, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Gundam Wing are ok. If you like all or most of those shows as well, this is a MUST HAVE! I suggest buying the whole series! I know I will eventually (when i get a DVD player!)

Summary: Oy, I wish I had bought something else..
Review: Yeah, I'm one of those people who isn't a big fan of Pilot Canidate. I bought it on a whim with Gundam Wing vl1 (which is a bit better then this) after reading a generaly positive review and suddenly comming into some money. Oy, do I wish I had bought something else. To some it up, this anime is just...corny. Corny characters (though I like their sensei), corny dialoge, (so far) corny plot....and most of all, corny music. Possibly the most annoying music I've ever heard in an anime. But on the plus side, the Mechas look cool (though they would have been even cooler if they were cell shaded instead of outright CG), and the show can be somewhat enjoyable at times. Unfortunetly, this is the type of show I will never finish unless i force myself to buy the rest just to see if it gets better, and more so to just have it finished. Anyway, this might just not be my type of show and for you it could be perfect, so i do reccomend checking it out, though I'd strongly advise not buying it till you've seen some of it beforehand. I don't want you to make the mistake I did.
