 A great magical girls series at a bargain price! September 3, 2005

Magic Knight Rayearth. Even the title is filled with a sense of wonder and fantasy. In this 20-episode first season, Shidou Hikiru, Hououji Fuu, and Ryuuzaki Umi are all transported from Tokyou Tower to the land of Cephiro by a princess who needs their help.
The storyline starts out quite simple and familiar to those of the magical girls genre. Girls, accompanied by cute animal sidekick, set out to save the world meeting interesting allies and enemies. But, MKR takes a very interesting twist at the end, one that makes even the filler episodes well worth the wait.
There's the story, now to review the actual set. I was thrilled when I realized that there was an economy box being created. It doesn't have any inserts, and I dislike the way the dvds are placed into the package (they overlap each other), but if you're looking to get this series and don't care about all the bells and whistles, then this is what you want. No frills, just a great anime series at an amazing price.
 I love this Series!!!!! April 26, 2006

This economy box is great! The series is really good and the ending is very deep...I can't wait till I have the money to buy the second season..This set has both the dubbed and the japanese with subtitles version and interviews with the american cast including the actress who plays Mokona who did both the Japanese and the
American versions...I had a bit of trouble playing the Omake endings and an alternate theme songs on the special features area I would click on it and my dvd player would stop but that's really the only downside I saw. Mokona was what attracted me to this series since I had enjoyed him in Tsubasa Resevior War Chronicles the manga..and yes Mokona is a boy...however in this series there is only the white Mokona and his entire language is pu! There is also a bonus disc containing two interviews with the Japanese director and someone else who I have yet to watch. Overall this series is wonderful and worth the money and will make you keep watching to the end! I am really glad I bought this series.
A little corny. July 21, 2006

I've read the whole Manga series, but I haven't finished the anime yet, but the only problem with this anime is the fact that it was made years ago and the dialogue and dubbing is a little corny, but other then that, it has really good plot points and an interesting ending to it. So I would say if you aren't that uber anime nerd, just cringe your teeth past the poor acting and really watch the story.
I really liked it and the fact that it's not $120 a series makes it a really good buy. You should also check out some of Clamps other works (like Tsubasa) because they do throw in some interesting little things into their story.
The reason I don't give this a 5 is because I think even if though it's really good, it's not the series that everyone can automatically get into (I apologize to the anime viewers that eat classic anime for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) because the dialogue if you want a sample it's stuff like, "HIKARU!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" if someone is injured or "You were my best friend, I can't believe you would turn against me. I can't possibly attack you." so for people that really, really can't stand that for a good story, I would suggest reading the manga because it's shorter and easier to get through (6 manga in total or 3 per series).
Really good! January 6, 2007
I really enjoyed this DVD. They made a mistake, there are 6 discs, not 1 disc.There is also a special features disc in it. I could not resist seeing the other episodes, but I did not want to see all the episodes at once.This economy box has 20 episodes, the entire first season.It also has a MKR gallery,character profiles,alot of interviews,and spell index. It has alot more I will let you see for yourself.The artwork was okay too.I don't want to bore you out,so I won't give you the plot and all.Read the other reviews, they will tell you what this anime is all about.
