You won't be sorry........2007-04-23

This was more of a Twin Signal movie rather than a series since it was so short but it was still a great buy that I've never regretted. The animation is beautiful and somewhat notstalgic in that it does not rely heavily on computer graphics if at all. The story was a nice translation from it's manga counterpart and left me feeling satisfied despite the short length.

The only thing that slightly disappointed me was the promise of so much more to come from the opening credits. Even that wasn't so bad though because it inspired me to get online and look up more on the unshown characters (whose names are briefly listed in the opening credits).

The music is nice and does a good job of setting the tone of the story. I was particularily fond of the ending song which made me smile from the first few notes.

The characters were great despite their short showtime and made me want to watch again and again. Their individual quirks shown and made me fall in love with them each time I watched.

To sum it up. Buy this DVD and you won't be sorry!

Light Hearted.......2003-08-12

I really enjoyed this series, it is unfortuate more of it was not made. At least the DVD contains a complete story, the opening and closing give you a hint at where it could have gone. This one is ok for younger people too, no drugs, nudity, I don't believe there is any swearing either. I liked the extra on the DVD such as dressing Signal up as a girl, your have to admit he is almost too cute :) The plot: Signal, a combat robot programed to be the teenage older brother of the creaters grandson. He acts like a teenager too, complaining about being bored and has a crush on another robot. A pittiful rivel scientist wants to steal Signal's design and destroy Signal so he will be to only one in poscession of the technology. He plans to do this by using Signal's protype who has been retro fitted with lasers(that cause his eyesight to go in and out, sometimes he is very nearsighted) and cutting blades. I like this so well that I had to see if the Magna was availible, does not appear to in english :(

Worthwhile purchase.......2003-06-30

A good anime but way too short. Just watching it once makes you crave more to the point its painful, so be warned. Also the dub in itself isn't too bad except Elara's voice really irritated me and her name was pronounced as "Erala" which makes no sense whatsoever really......

a great anime, but maybe not a must see for all.......2001-07-05

Okay, personally I think this anime is absolutly great. It could easily be watched over and over and not get in the least bit boring. Not everyone will feel this way though, so I'll try to be a little more critical.

If you've read, or are interested and somewhat familiar with the manga (comic) series, this is definatly a must see. For one thing it is just great to see all of the characters animated, even if only in the intro. If you don't know anything about the series before seeing this, it's still good but may not be enjoyed quite as much. I'd recomend that you do a little research on the internet to get more familiar with the characters and plot line.

I also recomend this to any anime fan who likes comedy. If you're only into dramas you'll most likely hate it, but who knows? The plot line is good, but not overly complicated so it should keep your attention, but not leave you wondering what's going on. There is a lot of S.D. but not so much that it's like the animation of Dragon Half. Mostly it's just shown in facial expressions and not the full blown Super Deformed body.

As for the dubbing, I'll admit, it isn't really that bad. I'm really skeptical about any anime being dubbed, but aside from Elara having the voice of Misty from the dubbed Pokemon (I think; if not, it sound's a heck of a lot like her) it is done pretty well. My only major problem is that they changed Elara's name to Erala (what the heck is that about??). But unless you really hate subtitles, take my advise and watch it in Japanese. The english outtakes are hilarious however, so don't miss those. It's a hidden feature but shouldn't be too hard to find.

I was completely satisfied with this DVD, and if it looks good to you, give it a shot, I don't think you'll be disapointed. They even explain why Signal's hair is shown blue in some pictures and violet in others. I only wish that more than three episodes were animated.

And finally, because a review of this show isn't complete without it, Chibi Signal is just so darn cute! Umida, umida!
