"Timetravel has never been so out of whack as in this series. Borrowing elements from Terminator and Guyver, GENERATOR GAWL is about 3 handsome brothers from a possible future who are responsible for the advancement of a certain type of medical genetic research. But they find out that someone has used their research for military purposes, causing a third World War faught between humans and mutated creatures. So the brothers decide to travel back in time to 2007 to stop the initial creation of this brand of research. They pose as students at an elite academy which is supposed to be the site where this scientific discover takes place. The main character, Gawl, is a Generator who can change into a genocyber lifeform, and battles some of the monsters created in the academy's labs. All while maintaining a low profile, the brothers seek to correct history, but come to some horrible realizations by the end of the show. This 13-episode TV series is a very gripping and gutsy anime with lots of brilliant fight sequence and some suprisingly funny dialouge. Definately a keeper!"
Two Words: Absolutely Amazing!

"I'd have to say this is one of the greatest animes I have ever laid eyes upon, and it's truely a pity that not everyone knows about it. I got the perfect collection for Christmas and I absolutely adore it! The characters are believeable (except for Natsume's hair, but what can you do?) and the plot, I must say, is astounding!
Some of the perks: Excellent (and funny) English dub, amazing animation, humor, awesome storyline, nifty bad guys, unexpected plot twists, and they don't use the same transformation scene every episode!
Bad things: Way too short, Natsume's hair (it's a pet peeve).
I recommend this anime to anyone and everyone who enjoys anime. It's most definately one of my very favs. Check it out, you won't be sorry! =^.^="
One Of The Best Ever

"I recieved this perfect collection this afternoon, and i finish the whole series in one night!!! I hope the series is a little longer... However, this is the best sci fic anime i saw since evangelion. And of couse, it's not as deep as evangelion. Overall this series provide a very good story, great action, and animation. If you are a scific anime collector, this is a must. I would give it a 5 star..."

"Generator Gawl is my absolute, favorite anime of all time. Not because it's horribly original, but because it takes the classic aspects of good sci-fi animes, and warps it into something new and different, yet still familiar. I believe it's that sense of familitarity that you feel while you're watching it, that makes it so great. Not to mention the great characters, plot, and even the english dub is excellent. If you're looking for a good anime, deffinitely grab this one."
