Summary: Simply the best cartoon of all time
Review: From the mind of Jhonen Vasquez, author of insane, twisted comics, the voice of Richard Horvitz (Billy, Dagget), and the conductor's wand of Kevin Manthei (Resident Evil), Zim, an evil green alien from the planet Irk, comes to earth in attempt to take it over and give its land to his masters so they can do something cool with it. Unfortunately for Zim, a kid named Dib is onto his plot and is willing to go to any lengths to stop him. Now Zim, his insane robot sidekick, GIR, Dib, and his sister, Gaz, are locked in mortal combat for the fate of the Earth.
This is a brilliantly set up cartoon and the bizarre humor is hiliarious. Zim has been cancelled and us fans have been dying for a DVD for years. Now it's here. ...Look up there! what a price. What on earth are you doing reading this? Support the Irken empire and buy this DVD!!!!

Summary: ZIM ROCKS!!!
Review: Invader ZIM is one of the greatest cartoons (if not THE greatest) ever made. If you watch just one episode of this addictive series, you will instantly be hooked. The basic story is that ZIM, a dishonored alien invader from the Planet Irk is sent to Eart on a "secret mission" (i.e. banishment) by the rulers of the Irken Empire, the Almighty Tallests Red and Purple. On Earth he meets his insane robot slave Gir (who obeys just about any command that involves watching TV or eating. . . TACOS!); a spirit-crushing teacher Ms. Bitters; a young, big-headed paranormal investigator named Dib; Dib's scary sister Gaz; and Professor Membrane, the creator of a Perpetual Energy Machine and Super Toast.

ZIM was created by Jhonen Vasquez, author of the popular comic books Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Squee, I Feel Sick, and many others. Make sure you buy this DVD so you can figure out why ZIM has established such a huge fanbase and to learn just how hilarious a little green guy (and a robot in a doggy costume) can be.

Summary: Everyone! dont be fooled!
Review: Everyone! dont be fooled by the fancy words! this is not the first invader zim DVD collection promised! and certainly not the last, i have baught two invader zim collections being when they arrive at my home, both of them were bootleg, BOOTLEG! promising an invader zim DVD with a name such as that is a little Far Fetched, especially with as little information given. all that there is, is some fan reveiws with hopes of what the DVD is. (...)
now mind you all, i am a fan of invader zim myself, but i dont want anyone being ripped off! please seller contact me, because you have not left anyone you're contact information. thank you and good day.

Summary: BEST CARTOON EVER!
Review: this cartoon is one of the best i have ever seen. The graphics as well as the hillarious plot and characters make it a cartoon for most everyone to see. Although it should not be shown to smaller children, anyone over the age of 7 should be embrassed with Zims greatness...now go....buy the DVD share it with your friends and spread the word of ZIM!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great animation, characters, show.
Review: I admit that it took me a while to catch on to Invader Zim. (Partially because it was being aired by Nickelodeon about once a week on Sunday afternoons.) What first drew me in to the series was the absolutely astounding semi-3D computer animation. The characters were (and are) some of the most unique and interesting in cartoon history. The second thing that drew me in (and also the most likely reason the show was cancelled) was its cutting edge "dark humor". Similar to other Nick shows like 'Rocko's modern life', (Still waiting for the DVD on that one.) Invader Zim can safely be enjoyed by children, but the real, underlying humor will only be appreciated by teens and adults.
I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys dark humor, or just great animated TV. Zim truly is one of the greatest series of all time, animated or otherwise.
And if you like Zim, I REALLY recommend that you check out HBO's sketch comedy series 'Mr. Show', one of, if not THE best show you've never heard of. (That one's just for the adults, though.)
...Anyway, I'm kind of getting off track here...Great animation, great characters, great show...yeah, I pretty much covered everything. Now please go buy it and love it. Thanks.

Summary: Disgustingly Hysterical!!!!!!
Review: I had seen my very first episode of Invader Zim in my junior year of college. My friend had 5 episodes in a burned disc and I just thought it would be just your typical everyday Nicktoon. Never would I have excpected this show to be so eerie and sometimes nasuiating but at the same time flat out hillarious! This show blends the essence of classic Nicktoon comedy like Ren & Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life with a bit of the twisted anime action and humor (kids jumping out of second story windows when school is out.) I Was officially hooked when GIR (A hyperactive Meatwad) made his first apperence and sang the DOOM song, because he just rules! Unfortunatly I had gotten into this show too late because it already had been canceled by hoards of angry parents saying this was not a kids show. WELL DUH! It wasn't ment for kids otherwise it would be on tv at noon rather than prime time! Why do all the good shows die so soon? (The Critic, The Oblongs, Mission Hill: may they rest in peace.) I was hoping to have seen Zim join the rest of the adult swim crew, but a season dvd is so much better. Once again we have triumphed over moder society and are able to get back our sick, twisted and tremendously funny programs to be watched over and over and over. WE SHALL BRING DOOM TO YOU ALL!!!

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 going to get some of them TACOS!!"
Review: Can someone PLEASE, tell me why they cancele all of the good shows?! If something is brilliantly irevrent, and clever such as Invader Zim, and Family Guy its concidered "too raunchy, or controvercial to stay on the air." The hell with that! If you don't like something don't friggin watch it! Don't get it cancelled so the rest of us can't watch it either!
With that said, Invader ZIM is a fantastic show abou ZIM, the ambitious invader, who was given a second chance by "the allmighty tallest" to prove himself worthy as a concrour. Zim is sent to a mysterious planet that ends up being EARTH! The best thing about invader zim is its off beat humour that seems more aimed at teenagers, and adults rather then young kids. GIR is especialy random as a robot diguised as a green dog. those who are farmiliar with Jhonene's work on JTHM will (and do) LOVE this show! but some uptight idiots demanded more "quality" program on Nick such as Rocket Power and Chalk Zone. Its my opinion that Zim and The Fairly Odd Parents are the only good shows to grace the nick air waves since Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life were cancled.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terrific, creative, and diabolical series
Review: This is especially cool if you consider what value you're getting for this. Two discs worth of the show with animatics and commentaries for them. One episode even has multiple commentaries. These commentaries include the important people in the show and behind the show. That adds up to so many people that the tracks are very chaotic and resemble more of a crazy round table discussion of the series rather than screen specific musing. At least it's interesting to listen. It haven't gotten to the animatics yet, but they talk about them in the commentary tracks and if they're as advertised, then they should be great. Can't wait for the second volume to come out and I can't believe that this aired on Nickelodeon because it's even crazier than Ren and Stimpy. Thank you Jhonen Vasquez.
