Summary: Some humor and fun, but mostly just nudity and cheap thrills
Review: I hardly consider myself a "prude" and I am not easily shocked by sex jokes (hey, I *love* Ping Pong Club and liked Miyuki-chan in Wonderland)... but this anime is probably not worth buying to the average consumer. There are some cute jokes (I was struck by Ongo's physical and mental similarity to Flint of "Flint the Time Detective", so you see the level we're on) but a *lot* of oversized mammary glands (REALLY huge), panty shots and cheap sex jokes. I didn't find myself laughing much - the jokes were *OLD* ones, not even refreshing or really entertaining. The plot was predictable. Yeah, the music was catchy (I do like the opening song, I believe it was sung by Masami Okui who did the songs for Slayers and Utena), but if you just want the music, buy the soundtrack! The art-style was very reminiscent of Maze and Slayers. But again: lots of stupid, stupid sex jokes... and Takuma's adolescent-boy lust just got irritating, not funny (like I think it was MEANT to be).

If you like sex-infused HUMOR and original concepts, try other sources. I still recommend Ping Pong Club (although if you shock really easily, you may want to go to something softer ^.^) and Maze & Those Who Hunt Elves are always fun... but this one is a waste of money. If you *MUST* see it, rent it or go to an anime convention and see it in the video rooms. Don't waste your money.

Summary: Jungle De Ikou, A Neat Movie
Review: I love this movie about a girl named Natsumi who gets a present from her father of a weird statue who uses the two gems to make a pair of earrings & winds up with a strange necklace from the God Ahem to become Mii after doing a weird dance taught to her by Ahem to battle Ongo's mischief tricks & finally destroys a evil demon that posses Ongo with the help of Rongo. I watch the movie over & over. I think they should make more episodes of the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Let the fun begin
Review: I ordere this DVD the first time I saw it(com'on look at the picture on the cover) and hoped it will live to my expectation and man it did.

Man it so funnny that I had to pause the movie everey now and then just to stop laughing and believe me the story is somthing new and original.I recommend this for anyone who want a good laugh or anyone who enjoyed Golden Boy,...Project Ako or dragon half.

Summary: Japanese comedy must!
Review: If you like the adolecent humor found in teen anime (think Ranma 1/2), then you'll definitely want to watch the tale of a young girl who finds herself in control of a great power... the power of a goddess! Unfortunately, for her, she must perform a 'fertility dance' to raise the power to transform! The characters are memorable, the music is catchy and you'll find yourself quoting lines for months afterward.

Summary: JdI Delivers on Its Cover Illustration
Review: if you've seen some anime, the cover illustration probably makes you think of something like Ranma 1/2 movie 2 (the one one the beach, where are the girls jiggle around more than usual) or Mahou Tsukai Tai (that episode where Miyama entertains the crew at her private night-time beach party). Well, this anime definitely carries out its promise. It's that kind of silly show, and yes the boobs really are that huge, and yes they are lavishly animated. So, if the cover looks good to you, don't hesitate even for a minute, just buy it. If it's a little off-putting, I'd say skip it unless you have a real fondness for this genre.

It's a crime that they don't make more episodes.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: fun, but...
Review: Most people, I know rave about this show, but several flaws come close to ruining it. The two male leads may be interesting in their own right, but they're really too similar to one another for either to stand out. Add to that the mildly racist characature of the African-American lead, and you've got a considerable problem.
The female leads are fairly typical super-hero type characters, but although stereotypical, it's pulled off remarkably well. Slapstick humor is the main draw, but it gets just a little repetitive after awhile.
Still, I shouldn't downplay the positive aspects. I really laughed a lot, and if you're willing to overlook a few flaws, the anime is pretty enjoyable. Plus, the DVD has good picture quality, and the extra features won't make you scream too much. If you have the option to rent then do it, but if you're looking to expand your anime library, you could do worse.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Actually pretty funny and entertaining..........
Review: once ya get past the BIG boobs. There is actually a story in this fan service animation. I'm not saying this is a classic, but there are some generally hysterical moments, and all of them are pretty realistic outcomes to the crazy things going on in the story. I won't say what. You'll just have to see it. If you are a cynic and want to pick apart the jokes and outcomes to the show, it WILL beat you to the punch. This show knows what it is and has no problems making fun of its' self. That alone gets high marks from me. This is a fun video. And all the girls ( the legal ones ) are hot.
