For starters, the opening narration is inspired by WW2 newsreels, not the Superfriends.

Also, I'm suprised that you didn't have an issue with the fact that the DVD is non-anamorphic.

tiredjay....ya, I know what the narration was going for and you're right.  I was more referring to the sound of the narrator's voice.  Does sound a bit like Ted Knight's is all I meant. 

Ah, gotcha.  I hadn't really noticed the Ted Knight-ness of it, and I can sort of hear it now that you mention it, but the fact that it's the same actor who does the voice of the Admiral is what always stood out to me.

anyword when the complete season is getting dropped on dvd/bluray?  I've heard good things about the series from even those who aren't star wars fans.

I really enjoyed watching this series. I haven't seen the Clone Wars Movie yet. But when I heard about the series I had to watch. I'm going to wait until they have a boxed set before I pick this up on DVD though. Has anyone heard anything new on the live action series that's supposedly being made?

I see Lucas is still ripping off everyone....4 episodes for 20 bucks....he'll do that for the whole season THEN release the ENTIRE season knowing SW fans are suckers to buy it then he'll release the Special Edition of the first season followed by the super duper special edition followed by blu-ray.

The only way to make him stop is to stop buying all that crap.

Season set's due out this fall.

The single discs are for the kid-vid set, not fans.

tiredjay...yes that's exactly what I said in the review.  I hate that they do this but I also understand the marketing aspect and all.  Of course the more serious collectors will get the full season set soon.

The animation is good....whaaaa?  You obviously haven't seen much anime.  The animation is terrible in that when they move it looks terrible and unrealistic in the extreme.  Way to computer generated looking not realistic looking at all. 

As for the shows themselves they are ok.  Still have the same issues as I did with the movies nothing is really shown to make me believe Anikan has the potential to become DV.  Decent as an action cartoon for kids but doesn't live up to the first three movies made.

Of the episodes I've seen, I prefer the ones where anybody but Anakin is the main character.My favorite episode is "Rookies" where the squad of Clone Troopers have to hold off the Commando Droids until help arrives. I actually prefer the wisecracking droids to the personality-free Stormtroopers from the original trilogy.
