Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 34 Average rating: 4.0 "Its OK" I saw this before I read the manga .The manga is drawn well compared to the anime and the silly animation is pretty bad.They made the anime thinking that you are very familiar with manga in mind .The voice overs are ok . I dont recomment buying this dvd but rent -yeah. "Dissapointing" My review may be harsh, but I'm a little demanding about my likes. For those content with BL in any form, FAKE may be a reasonable buy. However, if you require plot, beauty, and originality, don't bother with this DVD. I would recommend you to try the book version, since, from what I've seen, it is considered superior to the anime, although that shouldn't be too difficult. The plot is a weak frame to Ryo and Dee's non-existant relationship. There seems not to be any reason for Ryo's hesitation toward Dee's advances, other than the fact than the author may think that with the consumation of their relationship the audience may become uninterested in the whole baseless story. Mediocre drawings, mediocre plot, mediocre characters. I gave it 2 stars out of the kindness of my heart, but don't even bother. "A must have for the FAKE addicted!" For those who have read the Manga and still crave more this is a must have. The voice actors bring to characters to life and though the animation is a little different to the manga style you soon get used to the changes! For those just getting into FAKE this dvd is probibally not the best of places to start as though most things are explained there a few refereneces here and there to things that occur within the manga that are not 100% explained! "This is a must get!" This is an Anime take off from Volume 2 of the famous Fake series. Who couldn't love Dee?! I had to buy it to add to my Yaoi Collection. Even though it's only Shonen Ai, the most that goes on is a kiss and a Dee's sudden want to strip Ryo down and boink him, though it doesn't happen thanks to Bikky and Carol's interference. It is a wonderful OVA Movie, though there are no extras and all, it is still worth buying. "Read the Books!" I rented this movie with some others because sounded different than martial arts and robots. I didn't know there was such a thing as "yaoi". Admittedly, the story was kind of lame, but I really enjoyed the characters! They seemed well formed, as though they had been snatched out of the middle of a series, so I looked into FAKE and Anime Turnpike. As luck would have it, the first volume of the manga was just being released by Tokyo Pop! I highly recommend the manga for this anime. The artwork far outshines the OAV, and the characters are wonderfully funny and real. The OAV really doesn't do Dee and Ryo justice (if fact they look a bit dispropotioned). Read the books! They'll become your favorite!
