 a must have for wildarm fans January 24, 2007

I brought this anime for my husband as a present, we have played every wild arms game released and to this day are big fans of them. As an anime on its own it would be good, but as an amine based on a game I thought it worked really well, the only thing I would have changed is I would have called the mouse Hanpan after the game.
Story wise, yes it is fairly simplistic, but nice to curl up to after a long tiring day, you don't really need to think about what you're seeing you can just sit back and enjoy. Each episode is a small story in its own right, but still follows the main story line (almost like each episode is a side quest along the way) and as always some a better than others.
It will not be to everyone's taste, but personally, both me and by husband enjoyed it.
Very good anime March 28, 2007

I never played the games or even heard of them for that matter. Which is a good thing so there was nothin for me to expect. I dont look for the 5 star animes or "classics" that much anymore. I been mislead by those titles numerous times. So I search for the ones with the smaller fan bases and little to no hype at all. I'm glad I came upon this. I'll give a brief description.
Wild Arms is a western style sci fi anime. Kind of like trigun but to me its sooooooooooo much better. It has action, comedy that is actually funny, good characters, and some decent stories. The main character is Sheyanne Rainstorm. The story begins with a botched theft and escape which results in Sheyannes freedom. He awakens with little to no memory and different from the way he was. The basic plot is for him to recover something that belongs to him. But most of the stories are stand alone and spin off to its own plot. They range from alright to very good. It has a certain level of comedy but the story does become serious.
There is a host of characters introduced. They are well developed and actually add to the story. They are present for a reason. The soundtrack is very good and the animation is also.
This is one of the least talked about collections on amazon but it didn't disappoint me. The video game purist, I dont know what to say about this to you guys. Just like I said I'm not famailiar with the games at all. To those searching for some decent anime. Check this out. Its 13 episodes that come in 4 thinpack cases with a few extras consisting of previews, languages, and dvd credits. However I cant exactly say this is for children due to some of the strong language. The swears aren't severe but some parents may find it offensive.
An excellent anime that gets better as it progresses April 27, 2007

(4.5 stars) Wild Arms TV is defintely worth considering! Having played the first 3 games, I can say that you need not play the games to understand the story. In fact, the anime fills in some interesting details about the planet that weren't covered in the games. The mouse-like characters seem quite annoying at first, but in time, they become less irritating. Overall, the main storyline is very interesting, and I found myself wanting to see it through to the end. The side stories are also unique and very well written. Unexpected surprises await up until the very end! If you are looking for something "different" than your typical anime, this is it!
