Summary: Really Entertaining Anime!
Review: Based on the Sony PlayStation game by the same name, Monster Rancher (Monster Farm in Japanese) is a fun, surprisingly deep anime series about a boy named Genki on a journey to stop the evil Mu from taking over the world. Together with his friends, Tiger of the Wind, Mocchi, Suezo, Golem, Hare and Holly, Genki plans to unleash the legendary Phoenix, the only being supposedly capable of stopping Mu.

Consisting of more than seventy, roughly twenty-five minute episodes, Monster Rancher is never a bore. With its wide variety of characters and subplots, it's hard to dislike this anime. In addition to the main cast, there is host of fun subplot and semi-regular characters on the show. Unfortuantly, the English dub has had a few scenes featuring violence edited out. The animation quality is very good, and the voice cast features the talents of Brian Drummond (Tiger), Paul Dobson (Mu), Janyse Jaud
(Pixie), and Andrew Francis (Genki).

Even if you did not enjoy the game, this anime is likely to catch and hold your interests. It's better developed in terms of plot and characterization than most other animes for kids, making it more watchable for adults. Overall, this series really deserves more than just five stars!

Review: But it's still a terrific DVD. A young human boy from Earth (Genki) is transformed to another world. In Digimon, humans are "digitized" into a digital world. Genki travels with another human, Holly, and a bunch of monsters. In Pokemon, Ash travels with humans and his "poket monsters". In Digimon, the humans travel with their Digimons. In Digimon, they fight evil. In Monster Ranger, they fight the evil Moo. Monster Ranger monsters do not transform like Digimon or evolve like Pokemon, but they are stored in "mystery disks" and converted to monsters at a shrine. Pokemon monsters are stored in Pokeballs. I don't see how you can't make the comparison to the other "Mons". Sure it's another "Mon" type show, but it's different enough and fun enough to make any seven year old happy to watch it. Mine enjoys the show.

Summary: Monster Rancher
Review: I must say, I originally thought this series would be yet another Pokémon/Digimon clone. I was wrong. This series teaches the fundamentals friendship along with the obvious good versus evil. The best part about Monster Rancher is that is actually a 'closed' story line with a great conclusion. Not all of the episodes are available for purchase yet, but they are worth collecting.

Summary: this show is great
Review: i really like this show. i haven't seen it in a long time, but it is one of the best shows aimed for a younger audience that i've seen. monster rancher may not interest those who are way into the major bloody fight seens, but it is perfect for the younger viewers out there.
