Dragon Ball Z: Season Six (Cell Games Saga)

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Anime and Manga
starring: Dragon Ball Z

September 16, 2008
Dragon Ball Z is the one greatest anime series ever created. With its action-packed universe and compelling storylines, Akira Toriyama's magnum opus has never failed to please. This is the latest season set FUNimation has released of the series.

This set picks up where the last one left off. In his Perfect form, Cell is seemingly invincible. After the Z-Fighters were unable to defeat the villain, he retreats, stating that in 10 days time he will hold a tournament, so that he may fight the strongest fighters in the world. Our heroes go into training, knowing what lies ahead will be their toughest battle yet.

The DVD set is divided amongst six discs, and contains the complete Cell Games Saga (the post-Cell Afterlife ... Read More:

This Boxset is very well designed. The package is so great. It looks and feels great. Very good, especially for the fair price. I can only recommend it.

About the series I have to say: If you like animes, martial arts, Wu-Tang, The RZA, Samuel L. Jackson or/and "lightweight entertainment" this is a must buy/see!!

Death Note (Live Action - Dub & Sub)

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Anime and Manga
starring: Tatsuya Fujiwara, Kenichi Matsuyama, Takeshi Kaga
directed by: Shusuke Kaneko

September 16, 2008
I went and saw this movie in theaters earlier this year, when it came out for two nights in May. I was actually expecting the Japanese version with subs (which I had seen previously via the internet over 10 times), but I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be a dub with the anime dub's voices. The original movie was excellent, and while the dub feels a little more comedic (if your not used to seeing peoples words not match their mouth's movements, it's funny for a bit), it's still amazing. Fans of both the original and the anime will enjoy this, despite the awkward mouth-movements-cannot-fit-dubbed-over-voices-properly thing. It's still cool - if you love Death Note, you'll love this! :3 (Don't shun the dub just because it's a dub!)

Invader Zim Complete Invasion (3 vol. set)

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Anime and Manga
starring: Eliza Schneider, Ted Raimi, Greg Ellis (II)
directed by: Steve Ressel

November 21, 2006
Just in case your wondering, this IS THE ENTIRE INVADER ZIM COLLECTION! All the episodes EVER on 6 disk's! Although the show can be a little weird, like having portals to a night monster world going threw a kid's head, ok.....A lot weird, it makes up for itself with the comedy! Everybody loves Gir, and Zim, Dib, Gaz, there ALL timeless charectors! If you think random stuff is funny, this is for you! The only reason I dont give it all 5 stars, is becuase Gir should have more lines than he gets!

Princess Mononoke

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Anime and Manga
starring: Hisaya Morishige, Jada Pinkett Smith, Billy Bob Thornton, Yuko Tanaka, Yoji Matsuda

Everyone should be able to view Hayao Miyazaki animation. This film is no exception. You must see these films more than once. Put the setup in Japanese and English subtitles to get a better effect. Watch the films once for the story and then for the background animation. Superb!!!!

I can't wait for Studio Ghibli's next film to come to the U.S.. It is currently showing in Japan.

Spirited Away

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Anime and Manga
directed by: Hayao Miyazaki

April 15, 2003
Hayao Miyazaki, obviously, is an amazing director. Joe Hisaishi's music just makes this movie jump to an astronomical level. I usually get sick of movies very quickly, but no matter how many times I watch this movie..it just takes my breath away. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Yu Yu Hakusho: Season Two Set

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Anime and Manga
starring: Nozomu Sasaki, Shigeru Chiba, Sanae Miyuki, Megumi Ogata, Nobuyuki Hiyama
directed by: Noriyuki Abe

September 23, 2008
"Yu Yu Hakusho's" first season ended with Yusuke and his buddies coming to the Dark Tournament, determined to fight their way to the finals, and defeat Toguro's team.

So it's pretty clear what the second season consists of -- a string of one-on-one fights, with Yusuke and his buddies fighting a series of increasingly dangerous enemies. There's not a great deal of central plot beyond this, but the evolving powers of Team Urameshi -- as well as some cloak-and-dagger machinations -- keep things interesting.

After Kuwabara barely survives his opening bout with the creepy child Rinku, his teammates square off against other members of Team Rokuyukai -- Kurama is blackmailed during his bout and must use his wits to survive, Yusuke dukes it out with ... Read More:

This set picks up where the last one left off. The Z-Fighters have attempted to do battle with the Androids, but find themselves outnumbered. As if things aren't already bad enough, Goku is bedridden with a heart virus. The Z-Fighters plot different ways to train as the threat grows. And just when it looks like things couldn't get much worse, a new villain is thrown into the fray. His name is Cell, and he is composed of cells from various Z-Fighters and villains. He begins absorbing human beings to become more powerful, ... Read More:

Dragon Ball Z: Season Seven (Great Saiyaman & World Tournament Sagas)

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Anime and Manga
from: Funimation Prod

November 11, 2008
I agree with past reviewers that these are the more weaker sagas, but they do give a chance for a bit of levity and character development for Gohan and his relationships with his family and his new school mates, especially Videl, who he teaches to fly and later marries and has a daughter, Pan, in the GT series. But I think it really should have been Supreme Kai and Kibito on the cover. It is because of them that the Z fighters are forewarned of the coming of Babidi and the inevitable awakening of Majin Buu, which is the focus and last great battle of the Z series. As an aside, I really did like the battle between Goku and Pikkon in the after world martial arts tournament as well.

And also, dosen't this cover look like the piccolo from the fight with Radditz ... Read More:
