LOST UNIVERSE DVD THINPAK COLLECTION
The series' first-ever DVD collection also marks the first time the 26-episode Lost Universe saga will be available to North American fans with unedited (and remastered) video. This collection will also include two new subtitle tracks (standard and on-screen translations), plus the previously released Japanese audio and English-language dub. Lost Universe shares a creative team with the popular Slayers anime series: Both anime properties were based upon novels by Hajime Kanzaka (Slayers), directed by Takashi Watanabe (Slayers, Slayers Next, Slayers Try, Shakugan No Shana) and feature character designs by Naomi Miyata (Slayers, Slayers Next, Slayers Try). Additionally, the series was recognized with the 'Best Individual Episode' award by the Japanese magazine Animage following its initial TV Tokyo broadcast. About LOST UNIVERSE: Millie Nocturne has one great goal in life: to be the best in the universe... at absolutely everything! But when she tries her hand at being the 'best detective,' she ends up an unwilling partner with two people who will change her life forever - Kain Blueriver, the psi-blade-wielding master of the starship Swordbreaker, and Canal, the smart-mouthed holographic image of the ship's computer! Join this unlikely trio on their adventures as they hurtle through space, facing off against intergalactic crime lords, rogue starships, hijackers dressed as chickens... and that's just the tip of the asteroid! DVD Features: Entire 26-episode series in one thinpak collection with scene access, Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo audio for English and Japanese dialogue, two completely new English subtitle tracks (standard track and on-screen translations), and unedited, remastered video. Plus: Character bios, liner notes and Right Stuf / Nozomi Entertainment trailers.

The broadcast series Lost Universe (1998) begins as a slapstick sci-fi comedy about a mismatched trio of adventurers. Trouble Contractor Kain Blueriver always wears a blue cape and fights with a sword powered by psychic energy. Green-haired Canal is the holographic embodiment of the control system of Kain's ship, the Swordbreaker. In their first adventures, Kain and Canal acquire a third companion: Millie, a Jill-of-all-trades, mistress of none, who is determined to be the best in the universe at… something. The quarrelsome trio performs numerous feats of daring-do for hire, but the fees never seem to cover their expenses. The first half of Lost Universe is broadly comic. A crystal Millie finds turns out to be a hi-tech booby trap that reconfigures space and matter: The layout of the Swordbreaker fluctuates wildly, making it impossible to find anything--including the bathroom. But as the series continues, it shifts from a comedy-adventure to a blatant Star Wars clone. Kain is pitted against Nightmare, the maniacal head of a crime syndicate, and his deadly ship, the Nazard. An even greater foe, the mysterious Yami o Makumono ('Spreader of Darkness'), appears to Kain in his dreams, urging him to join the Dark Side, where his psychic powers will reach their fullest expression. The elaborate battles with Nightmare's forces generate little suspense, because it's clear that Kain has to survive to defeat Yami o Makumono and his space fortress, the Dark Star. Why he's the Luke Skywalker of this universe is never explained, but he's more entertaining as a goofy Trouble Contractor than as a Mark Hamill substitute. (Rated 13 and older: minor risqué humor, alcohol use, grotesque imagery, violence) --Charles Solomon

I have to say this is probably another gem I unknowingly found while looking for another series for myself and have not been disappointed with my choice. The series is similar to the humor of the anime series Slayers and Ranma 1/2. The series itself focuses mostly on the three main characters Millie Nocturne(An Under/Over achiever trying her best to be the best at what she wants to do with dubious results), Kane Blueriver(A captain of the starship SwordBreaker and while somewhat of a bumbler ...

After renting the first several volumes of Lost Universe, I discovered that the video store didn't have the last half of the show! The plot line is so strangely gripping (watch the show and you'll know why it's strange to call it "gripping") that I had to know what happens. I had nearly given up on it when I found it here! This weekend, I'll find out how it ends . . . If you're reading this, you should buy it too, before you end up wishing you had. Plus, it works just fine, came in perfect condition, ... Read More

One or two of the female voices are somewhat irritating at times, and the main character is so obviously a copy of Luke Skywalker. The artwork can be a bit spotty, as it chages from drawn to computerised. It is the sort of mystery that you don't find out what it is about, or even that there is a unifying plot, until near the end. Yet it does manage to be well enough written, have a happy ending, and have many funny spots.

One my favorite space adventure comedy anime. If you love Slayers this is another by the same people and yes the English Dub is funny bad at times. That's why it's listed as a comedy but do enjoy the sub version too and relax it's ment to be stupid funny. Please note this is "not" a space adventure anime like Banner of the Stars or Cosmo Warrior Zero but a "comedy". OK I think most of you get that point even if the last reviewer did not. This box set has more extras than the release by ADV a few years back ... Read More

Well.. what can I write about? The dubbing, I believe but won't spare the research, was made for television broadcasting. The Japanese subtitling made Far more sense than the English voices. I never heard the voice actor of the female ship again and I'm grateful for it. Running nails across a blackboard is the only fair description. The story was fairly silly in the original Japanese and I'll be stopping near the beginning and restart with it in Japanese to judge the quality of the show at a later date. Purchase ... Read More
