Summary: Return of a Great
Review: Ronin Warriors--known as Yoroiden Samurai Troopers to those of us who prefer subs--is without a doubt my all-time favorite series, and I can't tell you how pleased I am to see a bilingual DVD at long last. The subtitles are a welcome change from the dub, the quality is clearer than that seen on television, and everything that makes it great is here. I have a few beefs with some of the name romanizations and armor name/virtue translations(for example, Seiji's kanji REI is translated as 'Grace' rather than 'Courtesy', which I feel is more correct), but these are minor complaints and I have to recommend this DVD to anyone who loves action, fantasy, anime, or all of the above.

Summary: The Boys Are Back In Town...
Review: Ronin Warrirors was one of the first animes I encountered that led me to other animes. Though it comes off as a cheesy cartoony "Power Ranger" type show it has redeeming qualities. It is dark, yet humorous and though the plot is pretty direct it is a good solid plot. The main characters will grow on you and in the end you will root for every one. Even the "typical" bad guys become endearing. It also helps that some of the guys are pretty hot also ;-)! And I have to say it: Bandai, I love you! The DVD is awesome! On one side I can enjoy the dub I knew and loved and the other side I can get to the know the original Jap. version and love it too!

Replay value= Being the 1st volume, not much when compared to later better eps. So If you can rent it or borrow it from someone I would reccommend that. But if not, then definitely buy it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It may not be new, but it will never get old!
Review: The first time I saw this show I thought it was soo STUPID! But, when it aired for the second time on Cartoon Network, I thought heck I'll give it a try. And I'm glad I did. It's gotta be one of the best anime shows I have ever seen. I have all the episodes on tape, but I wish that they were in better condition. I'm so glad that they're bringing them out on DVD, or by the time I get done watching them the tapes look like they're going to break. It's real hard to explain, but I'll give it a shot. The show begins with a shadow sweeping over a city. Then it shows our co-star heroine, and then the annoying little boy that shall stay with the whole show. The first Ronin appears to fight a soldier of the Dynasty, then the rest come join him. After the battle the Warlords are introduced, and dang, are they fine. The next episode they fight a Warlord for the first time, they are then transported to the places their armors get their powers, thanks to Talpa. After that they find each other, battle Warlords some more. Then take on Talpa himself. To find out the whole detailed storylines about the episodes, how they fair against Talpa, and what happens afterward, either you buy these DVD's or pray that Cartoon Network brings it back on. Better go for the first one. ;)
