Summary: Wretched.
Review: Complete waste of time. The storyline revolves around "reincarnated warriors" who have a Great Mission to defeat a Great Evil while keeping up their high school lives, and so forth. Except there's never any real detail given about these past lives, or what makes them so special. The characters are all stereotypes, with pretentious "Warrior" names. ('Warrior of Mirrors', 'Warrior of Light', and it just goes downhill from there.)

Calling the characterization 'cardboard' would be great praise. The art is terrible, the dialogue is worse--either sub or dub--and the plot is contrived. Even the trailers for other animes are terrible. There is a continutity gap between disc one and disc two that is never closed, which pretty much nukes any pretense this thing had to a plot.

If you like pointless explosions and meaningless fight scenes, that may raise this DVD set above glorified coaster status for you. Otherwise, skip this one. It's much too much money to spend on something of this poor quality.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Good n'
Review: I have recently seen episodes 1-6 of this and I LOVE it. There's action (maybe a little too much at some points), which almost every anime has, there's not any romance nor comedy, which is good sometimes.

animation-absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The opening song of eps. 4-6 is amazing.
It isn't too new, yet not too old, which meets my standards. I personally don't like the new looking animation in the new anime. Looks to me like they just used oil pastels mixed with some computer modifications.

music- normally I love anime music and head right to the internet to download the songs, but this was (in my opinion) terrible. I personally thought it was too high-pitched, yet I like Sobakasu. I think they need a guy singer for that, maybe T.M. Revolution or something.

dub-once again, we get to the worst part about anime. The dub. I believe Pioneer did this one. Here's a quick flash-back:Pioneer practically RUINED Sailor Moon! This one...was EXCELLENT! This one (in my opinion) was better than Witch Hunter Robin! Robin's dub was one of the best too! The dub in this is almost right on the dot EVERY TIME. There's a few parts where the dub is exactly the same as the sub, only they're not synchronized. I was thinking "This is just too good to be true!"

overall rating-4 out of five. It lacks things that make every anime complete:good music, romance, and comedy (sort of). Not every anime needs comedy, but romance would create a little more tension between the characters (no, I'm not some girly sap, though I watch Days of our Lives sometimes. I'm a guy, just so you know). Once again, this is action-PACKED. Rated 13 and up for some language, blood, violence, and nudity (the nudity part: they're just dolls. Life size dolls like you would see in a clothing store in the mall. But the creator of the dolls was so good, no one could tell whether they were human or dolls. It's mainly just the main villan in eps.3-6(I think her name was Tsukomo) she is a doll that gets possessed. She eventually gets a dress. and some woman in the demon world (Shindagan was her name)is nude, but you hardly ever see her).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Agonizingly dull - rate this ZERO STARS
Review: I own two book cases full of various Anime titles, I've rented scores upon scores more, and have never found one this bad! I cant comment on the animation quality because there was so little of it. Virtually the entire show was nothing but panning over non-animated still drawings with very bad voice over. I thought that maybe if I switched to using subtitles but it turns out that the original language script is just as bad. there is almost no background music. After finishing the first disk in the set I was sickened to find that this title came with a second disk to prolong the agony. I would rather spend my time watching Barney or TeleTubbies than sit through this one again.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Super Cliche
Review: The story-line and characters of this anime are incredibly cliche. If they make one more anime about Japanese high school student reincarnations of ancient warriors with elemental super-powers, I think the world might explode. You have the hot-headed main character with light powers (so obviously, his ongoing enemy will have shadow powers, duh), the niave and spunky girl character, etc. This anime also pulls a big no-no by having two of the main girl characters purple-haired so you can't even tell them apart. The only reason I'm not giving this show 1 star is because there are some cool moments during the battle scenes. One of the enemies is a giant black dot and before you can make jokes about how pitiful the budget must have been, you appreciate how cool the darn thing looks as it cut through buildings, swallowing people up.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Like having your time wasted?
Review: Wow, very disappointing. The character development is extremely weak, the action is mediocre, the plot is convoluted and the whole thing leaves you with "who cares" echoing through your brain until you want to scream. I've seen over 100 DVD's worth of anime and this one I can truly say is the worst. If you have seen anything decent like Bebop, Trigun, Escaflowne, X - tv series, Evangelion, or Full Metal Panic then you will HATE this. Once you've seen anime that people actually took pride in making you will never be able to stomach the likes of 10 Tokyo Warriors. Don't waste your valuable time and money.
