You Don't Want to Miss Out On This!

"I first came across Kiddy Grade on TV. I thought it was really cool. I think that both genders should like watching this series. The graphics are good, the picture clear and the sound is grate. There is a total of 24 episodes, English and Japanese languages and the usual kind of extras. This is a sci-fi anime with very cool fight scenes, drama, suspense a good story line and some pretty neat robots. The story revolves around Éclair and Lumiere who are ES Force members of the Global Union, a shadow force that serves as the primary law enforcement for the Galaxy. Éclair and Lumiere go through quite a few exciting adventures and through out them you'll fall in love with both characters. Éclair begins to remember bits and pieces from her past and during a tedious mission the situation escalates to the point where Éclair can't take anymore and losses it which results in her and her partner being hunted down by their fellow Es members some of whom where friends. This series has a good ending; it's funny, sad, and exciting all at once. You won't regret buying the Viridian Collection. This is truly a great show. NOTE: I wouldn't recommend this series for anyone under the age of 16. There isn't any bad language but there is some adult humor and suggestive scene like the clothing the girls are wearing etc.Samurai 7: Box Set (Viridian Collection) Spiral - The Complete Series (The Viridian Collection)"
Good Series, Flawed boxset

"I used to have the individual 8 dvds for the series. A friend of mine had never been able to finish the series, so for her birthday, I gave her mine, and decided to, because of the cover work for this box set. I've been looking around on line and have yet to see that illustration from KG. It is quite eye catching. When I saw this box set, I thought, oh good! They came out with a newer complete box set. I bought it for a really good price on Amazon from a third party seller that had a fulfillment with Amazon. When it came in, I was so excited, but after opening it I was slightly disappointed. The box set itself is laid out like so. There is a flimsy thin like card board slip cover, that might I say, bends easily. One of the side panels was bent and now has a crease on one side. It slides off, more than easily if I may say. To reveal a book design, with slip cover pages that all 8 dvds slide into. Securely and safely. That is pretty much the box set's set up. Nice artwork is demonstrated throughout the design, and its easy to manage the dvds in the slip pages. But what really got me disappointed was the slip cover, how it doesn't really fit that well on the book, and how flimsy it is and rather fragile. Not that I'm going to be throwing it around or doing anything out of the ordinary with it, but I will say it could have been designed better in the sturdy department.
Maybe I just got a bad one, and others have gotten better. But this was my personal experience. If you're going to buy this box set, I would recommend seeing it in store, so you know what you're getting."
Kinda Scattered but still a great story

"Although the characters may not be explored too much or the story kind of one tracked the fact of the matter when you follow them around on their adventure and begin to understand the story you will be happy that you purchased this item. A Nice story that shows the sands of time come more then once a lifetime and that choices you make in the past will impact your future and have potential to influence greatly.
The story does take time to pick up and is very slow but all in all, i say this is worth buying. In the end it was worth every second the clock ticked away at the finale of the series"

"Its a really great show,not completely finished with it(on episode 16 as of now).This is one show people will either like or like a lot.storyline summation:two ladies working in a specific faction of the organization known as the Galactic Organization of Trade and Tariffs or the G.O.T.T.The shadow unit or "ES" members make it their sworn duty to ensure peace and prosperity across the galaxy.It is along this seemingly endless venture that Eclair slowly discovers who she once was.A merciless killer.This other Eclair begins to haunt the current one,and the current has a struggle of erasing her past.How can a person live in the present without remembering the past?"
