DVD Reviews of Star Blazers - Comet Empire (Parts 1-6)
DVD Review: A complete box set of the second Star Blazers series
Summary: 3 Stars
Star Blazers - The Comet Empire - The Complete Series 2 Collection is a DVD box set that contains six DVDs. All twenty-six episodes that comprise the second Star Blazers series are included. Unfortunately, Voyager Entertainment did not go to as much effort to remaster these episodes as they did the episodes for the first series. This means that the audio can be rather soft and muffled at times, and the picture quality is also grainy-looking at times. Some of the discs have problems with the navigation menu; if you select a section of the episode you want to see and watch it, the disc will return to that menu instead of continuing on when you reach the end of the section.
The first disc contains the first five episodes of the series, as well as three bonus features. The first bonus feature is a "Star Force Crew Roster"; this has a page for each character that includes their name, a write-up about them, what their name in the original Japanese series is, and line art pictures of the character. The second feature is "Planet Earth 2201 A.D.," which includes pictures and write-ups of the city where the Earth Defense Forces are stationed and the offworld operations taking place. The third bonus feature is a preview for the second DVD of episodes for the second series.
The second disc contains four episodes, as well as four bonus features. The first bonus feature is "The Faces Behind the Voices"; this is the first part of an interview with Ken Meseroll and Eddie Allen, the voices for Derek Wildstar and Desslok. The second bonus feature is "Star Force Equipment"; this has the names, pictures, and descriptive write-ups for the equipment used by the Star Force and the Space Marines. The third bonus feature is "Inside the Argo," which explains the modifications made to the Argo since the journey to Iscandar. The final bonus feature is "Desslok and the Gamilons," which explains what happened to them after the end of the first series, and includes character bios and mecha details.
The third disc contains four episodes, as well as four bonus features. The first bonus feature is the second part of the interview with Ken Meseroll and Eddie Allen. The second bonus feature is "Comet Empire: Masters and Underlings"; this includes names, write-ups, Japanese names, and line art for the major characters from the Comet Empire. The third bonus feature is "Comet Empire: The Fleet," and it includes names, pictures, write-ups, and measurements for the major ships in the Comet Empire's fleet. The final bonus feature is "Comet Empire: The Arsenal"; it's a lot like the bonus feature about the fleet, except the focus of this feature are the various fighter ships and tanks.
The fourth disc contains four episodes, as well as three bonus features. The first bonus feature is the first part of an interview with Tom Tweedy and Amy Howard Wilson, the voice actors for Mark Venture and Nova. The second bonus feature is "Planet Telezart," which includes pictures and write-ups about the planet, Trelaina, and Trelaina's home. The third bonus feature is "Comet Empire: Gatlantis City," which includes pictures and write-ups about the various sections of the Comet Empire (the city on top, the lower hemisphere, and the Dreadnaught Battleship).
The fifth disc contains four episodes, as well as three bonus features. The first bonus feature is the second part of the interview with Tom Tweedy and Amy Howard Wilson. The second bonus feature is "Earth Defense Forces Personnel," which gives the name, write-ups, and Japanese names for the Earth Defense Forces personnel. The third bonus feature is "Earth Defense Forces: The Fleet," which includes names, write-ups, measurements, and pictures for the Earth Defense Forces fleet and the battle satellite.
The sixth disc contains the final five episodes of the series, as well as two bonus features. The first bonus feature is "Tactical Maps," which shows the positions of the Comet Empire forces during various parts of the series. The second bonus feature is an "Interactive Mission Map," which shows where each episode took place, and provides write-ups for what happened in each episode.
While the audio and video mastering for this set was on the disappointing side, I would still recommend it to Star Blazers fans, because it is the only way to get these episodes on DVD.
DVD Review: Star Blazers !!!!!! WOW The Memories !!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watchin these cartoons when I was a youngin !! and now I found them , Right here on the greatest site in the entire world !! AMAZON.COM !! These people that own this site are the greatest for lettin me relive my child hood 1 more time !! So far I spent Big bucks through out my shopping experience here !! and I love it !!! Specially when they carry My favorite cartoons ?? STAR BLAZERS !! ha ha ha STAR BLAZERS saved the world and AMAZON saved me from gettin old HA HA HA KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AMAZON !! I LOVE YA !! I wish I could get the rest of the STAR BLAZERS cartoons ??? Hopefully this economy turns around and fast !! too DVD Review: The Shows Of 1982
Summary: 5 Stars
In that year Howard Stern and Star Blazers made a big impact on me, both shows had an ability to do one thing and thats keep it real. In this series the Starforce is reunited to save earth from the eveil Prince Zordar who cant wait to get there and destroy it like the many worlds that were destroyed along the way. This was a great follow up to series 1,in some way Wild Star reminds me of Stern when he takes on the Earth Defense Headquarters and how a group of people are willing to back him when he beleives that earth is in great danger.
If you are a fan I urge you to buy this second series, the only problem I had was the audio in some shows but other than that what great memories.
DVD Review: Deeper Plot lines then I remember
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember this series as a student in fifth grade. I loved the space ships, loved the action, loved the wave motion gun. I bought it purely for nostalgia and recently watched it. I was impressed by the deep plot lines and sub-text that runs through out the show. The messages of duty, sacrifice and honor where all there, and as a child I was introduced to these concepts and I am sure it made an impression.
You can grip about the transfer, and the American cuts (the parts that were cut out are floating around somewhere.) But you can't quibble with the story.
DVD Review: Forewarned...Forearmed
Summary: 1 Stars
The Star Blazers/Comet Empire Saga is a classic, epic, dramatic anime masterpiece. A follow-up to the Star Blazers/Iscandar Quest storyline, it is a sequel of great merit (in terms of plot, characterization, art, and musical score). Voyager Entertainment transferred the Iscandar Quest onto DVD and produced a winner in terms of video and audio quality, DVD extras, as well as packaging. Is it reasonable to expect the same production values in this Comet Empire DVD release? Yes, but you won't get it in a most crucial respect. I specifically refer to (and condemn) the audio "quality," which is abysmal and worse-than-mediocre; in fact, I was shocked to encounter such poor, smothered sound. And if you ever find that you are too, Yamato fan, try contacting Voyager politely, but firmly about this surprising and significant flaw; I did. And maybe you'll get an explanation; I didn't. Moral: Think twice before you invest in this expensive set from Voyager--your dividends will never be maximized with the product in its current, disgraceful form (released November 5, 2002).
