Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 45 Average rating: 5.0 "Rockin" After I saw this movie, I was hooked! Can't beat it! After I saw this, I went and got movies 1 and 3. They weren't as cool, but still REALLY awesome. This is an ultimate recommend to anyone. Just could someone tell me what that Duel Language thing it says on the cover means? Does that mean dubbed, subbed...What? "I think the hilarious comedy make this the best anime ever." First before you go and by this you should either see the first episode or read the first manga issue. Let me tell you that this is ultamitly the best of the Uruseigh Yatsura movies. the things that make this movie the best:Comedy,suspense and some romance. "one of the landmark events in anime history" ranks up there with AKIRA and GHOST IN THE SHELL. do yourself a favor and get it, one of the best. "I loved the movie, it is one of my favorites." This is probably one of the best anime ever, next to Akira, but, I like this movie even better than Akira, which is also very good. I like the suprises in the movie, like the one about the pig-creature, but i wouln't ruin it for anyone. "A great, mind-bending adventure" The first time I saw this movie, my reaction was "...what--?" But that is one of the reasons I immediately loved it. There's not much to say that hasn't been said here, but for those of you not familiar with the series, this is a good introduction, although much of it is confusing if you're not familiar with the plot and characters. In the context, however, this doesn't really matter--in fact, it adds to the surrealism! The series itself is not, in my opinion, quite as good, although I love it. This particular movie was done collaboratively by people who worked on such anime classics as Project A-Ko, Ghost In the Shell (the guy that did Ghost In The Shell, Tank Police, etc., did this movie!), and a few others. (I have to agree with a friend of mine, who described the series as being "more Hanna-Barbera"!--at least at first; later on it gets much better.) Okay, I have to say this. I'm sick of hearing people complain about the dub. It is very good. Yet I hear people saying the new dubs for the other movies are an improvement--no no no. The new Lum has a whiney voice that gets very irritating. Okay, there are a few minor flaws in this dub, but no big deal. And the decision to cast the same guy as Ataru AND Mendou, was pure genius. If you are familiar with the series you'll understand why I say this, if not, just nod & smile. :) To sum up: I love the series, love the comics even more, but this movie is, to me, the high point of Urusei Yatsura. (Oh yeah, the series constantly makes references to Star Blazers; this movie is no exception!)
