Summary: Poor, Sweet Saint Tail
Review: I've been waiting for what seems FOREVER to watch this anime. Ever since I saw a clip of it on t.v. I've been meaning to watch this series but never got around to it until now. First of all I instantly liked the main character Meimi Haneoka. Compared to Sakura of Cardcaptor, Meimi acts more like a real person than any other mahou shoujo character I've seen. She gets angry, she feels sad, and generally reacts like I would expect a normal person to. Another thing I adore about this series are her parents who have a very sweet loving relationship.

The reason I only gave this DVD 3 stars is because of the god awful job Tokyopop did on it. First off, this DVD contains the karaoke version of the opening and closing sequence, second of all the translations for the subtitles contain inaccuracies. Last of all the audio on this DVD is horrible and sounds like it was recorded straight from the television set. This DVD alone doesn't do any justice to this incredibly sweet and romantic series.

Summary: This could turn into a beautiful beggining
Review: Just recently I bought this at a store and it came with the first issue of the manga for free. So I'm thinking why not? Give it a chance. So I read the Manga then I watched the first disk, and this is what I think. I didn't think it was fantastic, but I did like it. To me it seemed like a series that would grow over time and I think I'm right. The anime was pretty accurate, at least to the english version of manga, and it made me want to get the second issue on both versions. But if you want to know what I think of the second version your going to have to read that review, but anyway if you like shows like sailor moon and cardcaptor, I would have to say it's similar in it's own way. It is pretty original, but I have to say some of the plot lines are pretty cheesy. So I'm pretty sure your wondering what I did like about this series, well Duh!!! The Love story, to tell you the truth that's why I'm hooked. It's so cute, but the thing is Meime who is also Saint Tail can't tell Asuka Jr. that she's in love with him because he doesn't know that she is Saint Tail, which if you ask me I think he's in love with Saint Tail without knowing that she's his fellow classmate at school during the day. I'm sure you can imagine being around the guy you love and he doesn't even know who you really are. But if you are somewhat interested in watching this I would say go for, mostly just for the chase Asuka Jr puts on for Saint Tail, It makes me wish I was chased after like she is!!!!! A must have if you like cute simple anime!!!

Summary: Cute shoujo anime!
Review: Megumi Tachikawa made the cutest series ever called Saint Tail!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for kids !
Review: My children (2 girls aged 7 and 8) love this show. Volumes one through four get 5 stars each from me. From there on after only 1 star each as Tokyo Pop completely lost their senses starting with Volume 5: Girl of Justice. They dropped the english dubbing. I hope everyone refuses to buy until they regain their senses and release english dubs again. Young children will find it too hard to read the subs and keep up with the action. I highly recommend this series up until Girl of Justice.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute...But maybe too cute.
Review: Saint Tail is an anime series dealing w/ the life of a small girl. At day she is a nice sweet girl, but at night she turns into the mysterious theif Saint Tail. Overall this dvd is good, but the actual show really is something that has to be an aquired taste. Saint Tail isn't for everyone. The show is a typical shoujo. If Shoujo is your genre though still think it over, the show is cute, but it actually suffers from being too cute, and as prone to all shoujo the art quality suffers from lots and lots of replay scenes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Thief of Viewers?
Review: Saint Tail is an entertaining anime. It pulses with life and characters; however, it lacks originality. It basically fits the magical girl stereotypes: a high-pitched, sweet, easily angered girl who cries a lot; a boy who thinks that he hates this girl but underneath might not; and a whole lot of magic tossed in. All together, Saint Tail is worth your money as it is quite enjoyable and light-hearted.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Saint Tail is WAFFy goodness!!!
Review: Saint Tail just so cute, it leaves me with Warm and Fuzzy Feelings all day. The story is very interesting and original, and the characters are adorable! I do have a couple complaints about the translation, though. The prayers that Seira and Meimi say during her transformation have been cut in the dub, and there are no vocals during the dub opening. Besides that, it's really cool!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most darling thief of hearts!
Review: Since Amazon has already given us a description, I won't mince words - Kaitou Saint Tail is an almost perfect show, with no empty plot holes or anything of the sort. They drop a major plot detail right away in episode one, seemingly leaving it open, but really, it is only waiting to show up again near the end of the show, in about episode 40 (three episodes away from the end!). The beginning only sets up the spectacular ending; although there are an unearthly amount of fillers, they all have the same, wonderful essence of Saint Tail. The first episodes all set up plots that will come together in the most perfect, fitting ways. Meimi and Asuka make the most darling couple - tearing out each other's hair and screaming at each other. This really is a *shoujo* anime, but I really think that if you don't like shoujo, that's not something that should mark 'Saint Tail' down. (After all, I don't usually like shonen anime, but that doesn't mean that they all stink.) Overall, Saint Tail is just a great anime that I adored to pieces (I frequently rewatch it). I only wish that more people knew about it!

Rating: 3 stars
