Movie Reviews

Entertaining and fun series
spejic | San Francisco, CA | 04/01/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"While it might not be one of the classics of anime, "Stratos 4" is a very well made and written series that is certainly worth the very low price for the collection. Clearly more thought went into this than the girl-mecha-pilots-save-the-world average. A very life-positive theme is part of the plot of the series, which certainly fits the peppy stars and the brain-sticking music.

And don't miss the extras. Each disk has a couple minute "interview" with a serious fellow that offers musings both factual and bizzare on the air and spacecraft in the series."

"At first i was a little turned off by the show when i first started watching it because of all the fan boy service. But then it gets really good and the last disc was my favorite, very action packed and entertaining. And on the box cover the clothes that the characters are wearing are the clothes that the voice actresses who played them are wearing in one of the extras featured on the disc. I didnt realize that until i clicked to review this and i was like... i recognize that shirt.... Whoa... Pretty neat.
Overall Great series and i hope i can get a hold of the OVA somehow cuz when this show ended i was sad... i wanted more because it is such a good show, and the Admiral (Alice) is one of my favorite characters!"
