Summary: This is great anime right here so see it!
Review: This movie is good for all those who like anime and fighting combined into one. You'll also like if you like weird, but not sci-fi movies. This movies' content should not be seen by children who are imature. It has some parts where it shows naked people. THe movie has a ton to do with fighting. I do not recomend this to be seen by children under 13. Profanity is in little which is most likely good. It is rated R, I think. The context of this movie awesome. If you like anime this is a must-see. I would rate rate it 2 thumbs-up. It is awesoome with a ton of action and violence. It shows little blood and gore which is a sign of a clean movie. It has no sexual activity in it. Overall I'd have to try not to rely on this review, but see it for yourself and decide.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's pronounced Go-kye-Zer.
Review: This review is for the newly released DVD of Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer: The Movie, NOT the old out of print DVD of the 3 volume OVA. I have not seen the OVA version, so I cannot explain any of the differences between the two. If anyone could write a review stating the differences that would rule.

If you've seen Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, you know what to expect here. In fact Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer is based off another lesser known Neo Geo fighitng game of the same name. The movie starts off a bit slow and confusing, but it kicks into high gear once the the first fight begins, and from then on it's just a truly great anime. Lots of fighting, great animation, and tons of fan service (with a HUGE abundance of bounce). Unlike another reviewer though I won't say this is better than Fatal Fury. I really like this movie, but FF is truly a classic. I will say that VFG is 10000x better than the Battle Arena Toshinden anime though.

Both English and Japanese languages are available, and while SOME of the subtitles are different than the dub, it's not much of a difference and I think the sub is just mostly a script of the dub. This was originally made back in the mid 90s when dubbing wasn't usually as good as it is these days, but I've definetly heard worse.

The DVD also has a few extras like a trailer for VFG, a japanese music video, a japanese promo for the OVA version of VFG (totally useless extra, don't even bother watching it), and of course previews for other animes. The picture and audio quality were also top-notch. No complaints at all about the DVD quality, and I hear the old DVD of the OVA was much worse.

I'm very glad they put this out on DVD finally and really advise anyone who is into this stuff to pick it up. If you liked Fatal Fury at all you have to have this, and if you like anime in general you should also consider checking this one out.
