Sony PlayStation Monster Rancher fans, prepare to enter the game world! In this animated video, Genki wins a Monster Rancher tournament, receives a "Monster 200X" CD-ROM as a prize, slips it into his player, and is magically sucked into the Monster Rancher world. Bragging to Holly that he's a game expert, Genki facilitates her escape from the Black Dino Squad. Holly reveals Moo's plot to conquer her world and describes her quest to defeat Moo by finding the mystery disk that contains the Phoenix. Genki inserts his own CD-ROM into the shrine and it unlocks not the Phoenix, but a cute, perpetually hungry little monster he names Mocchi. In "I'm Mocchi," Holly's magic stone leads the foursome deep into a forest amid a terrible storm in search of another mystery disk. When Genki, Holly, Mocchi, and Suezo come to a fork in the road in "Guardian of the Disks," they are told to beware of the enigma that lives in the forest ahead. Guided by Holly's stone, they persevere and discover a graveyard of old disks guarded by a friendly stone monster named Golem. When Golem defeats the evil blue Gel army, Genki and Holly invite him to join their continuing quest to release the Phoenix. This video--and TV series--bears marked resemblance to the Pokémon series and, although slightly less skillfully animated, it is sure to appeal to a whole generation of gamers and animation fans. Parents concerned about violence should, of course, be vigilant. (Ages 5-10) --Tami Horiuchi

5 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE BEST ANIME SHOW EVER!!!!!!!!.......2004-04-15

I absolutely love this show! Anyone who is into anime should definetly see it! All the monsters are sooo cool!

5 out of 5 stars this show is great.......2004-04-07

i really like this show. i haven't seen it in a long time, but it is one of the best shows aimed for a younger audience that i've seen. monster rancher may not interest those who are way into the major bloody fight seens, but it is perfect for the younger viewers out there.

5 out of 5 stars How many have YOU unlocked?.......2003-03-17

Monster Rancher, yet another Pokemon/Digimon clone? Not hardly. Monster Rancher stands by itself and isn't a clone of anything. Genki wins a contest and gets a new game for his PlayStation in the mail. He plays the game to watch a girl and a monster run away from the Black Dino troops. She enters a shrine (although, the game calls it a "ruined temple") and unlocks a disk. Instead of unlocking a monster, Genki is pulled into the weird world and makes friends with Holly and her monster!
I haven't heard of the Monster Rancher video game until I saw the series. I watched it on TV...but soon lost track of it.

4 out of 5 stars Monster Rancher.......2002-04-25

I must say, I originally thought this series would be yet another Pokémon/Digimon clone. I was wrong. This series teaches the fundamentals friendship along with the obvious good versus evil. The best part about Monster Rancher is that is actually a 'closed' story line with a great conclusion. Not all of the episodes are available for purchase yet, but they are worth collecting.

1 out of 5 stars Really, really 0 stars for this anime........2001-02-24

This cartoon is the most bothering anime I had ever seen, is worser than Digimon, the hole cartoon really really bothers me, it's dumb, stupid and boring.
