[US DVD] Guin Saga Collection 1

[Chris Beveridge]

Review by Chris Beveridge



Mania Grade: B+

In Summary:
Guin Saga is one of very few shows that deal with fantasy themes and that's something anime needs more of, especially those that treats it seriously. While there are characters that can be completely abused for comedy here, such as Remus or the monkey-style creatures, it avoids it completely and plays it straight. There's a lot going on here with this series and it has a whole lot of mysteries to be revealed and interactions to explore. With a massive amount of source material to work with, this is the kind of show you really want to see explored even more than it does. With this first set, Satelight has put together a very engaging show that keeps you watching episode after episode and wanting even more. Guin Saga is a very easy recommendation, especially if you can't get enough of good fantasy anime series.

I really hope this gets the Blu-Ray release eventually, as that is my preferred format. Hopefully things will get worked out since they put it on hold.
