"My girls have been fans of Sailor Moon, Rayearth, Tenchi and many other series. We came across Saint Tail by accident, but my younger girls really enjoy the series and wait impatiently until the release of the next DVD. This release came as a big disappointment for them.
I understand why the company chose to do this (lower cost for them), but I think they need to keep in mind their audience. It would have been easy for the company to either release two DVD products or to have included both languages on the DVD.
I don't know if this change in format will stop us from buying further Saint Tail DVD's. It will all depend on if the consumers (my girls) fail to watch this DVD as much as the previous titles because it is too difficult for them to read and watch the action at the same time. The whole purpose for watching a movie is enjoyment, not frustration."
And the chase continues!!!

"There isn't much of a change in this next installment of Saint Tail. Asuka Jr. starts questioning about how he truly feels for Meime, and Meime continues her secret identity as Saint Tail-stealing back what was wrongfully stolen from the rightful owners in the first place. What IS new on this DVD, is that Tokyopop took the plunge and put a total of 7 episodes on this disc!!!! The bad thing is, for all you dubbed fans,you will be slightly dissapointed in finding out that they do not dub on any of these episodes. I don't know if it's just for this disc or if they plan on continueing it this way. Either way it doesn't bother me. This series is great!!! If your looking for a good clean and entertaining series, this is the one, look no further!!! But this is the fifth DVD in the series...you might want to start with the first one that is titled Theif of Hearts. This cute little series will keep you coming back for more!!!"
I don't mind the english subtitle

"I truly enjoyed the DVD. If you're a CardCaptor fan you'll probably love it too. The show's based on a teenage girl who, like all teenagers, is not let sure about her place in this world. Somewhere in her search she discovers what it means to help others. With the help of her friend (who is a nun in training) and the legacy of her parents. She begins her own destiny by dawning the identity of "st. Tail." She is simular to Robin Hood, except instead of robbing from the rich she robs from the robbers and gives back to the "robbys." Plus she has to dodge the police and a boy named Auska jr, who is determined to catch her (for more reasons then one =). "Anyway," it's a cute show and if you like 'cute, little, girl power stuff' then you should check it out. Alot of people express complants about it being in Japanese. But don't let that stop you, if you don't mind reading it's not that bad. Plus the DVD is actually a really good deal because you get 7 epo. for [the price].--. "Okay," I've said enough. I hope I've helped."
Slightly disappointed
