Transcript of Featured Review

This is Excel Saga Vol. 1: The Weirdness has begun. Excel Saga is often referred to as the Naked Gun of animate, the Monty Python, if you will, of animate -- mainly because it's so, it's so bizarre. You get 5 episodes on this volume. Each episode is around 24 minutes in length. You don't get very many extras. You get the clean opening, basically what you normally get on, on a DVD, on an animate DVD. The animation is really, really great, much better than I expected. The price on this that I'm holding right here on volume 1 is around $24, $26 maybe on Amazon.com. It's not bad; the price I mean the, the episode is really great. You need to watch it a couple of times for it to really hit you. It's a fantastic buy. If someone who you know loves animate, you should get them this, if they don't already have it and this is Excel Saga: The Weirdness has begun, Vol. 1. That's my review.

Summary
A truck flattens Excel, the heroine of this nutty adventure, in the opening minutes of the first episode. But the Will of the Cosmos insists the main character in a series can't die, and brings her back to life. She becomes the overly enthusiastic follower of Ilpalazzo, the leader of Across, an ideological organization that plans to purify the world. Excel stumbles her way through parodies of everything from Star Wars to Galaxy Express 999 to Japanese dating shows. She adopts a cat as a pet (and possible emergency food source), and little balloons with cats periodically pop up to translate the puns and explain what's being spoofed onscreen. Excel Saga is generally regarded as one of--if not the --craziest series in the history of anime, and compared to it, the likes of Dragon Half plays like King Lear . Rated 17 Up: Violence, profanity; risqué and gross-out humor. --Charles Solomon
