Photon is the funniest Anime I've ever seen........2003-08-04

A master piece, great characters,amazing backgrounds,an outstanding villan. The strangness captures you. Every night I pray to the anime gods that there will be more made. This is definatly one to own!

This is a Great Anime.......2003-02-09

This one of the best anime I have ever seen.
Not only will it make you laugh but the sweetness
will touch a special place in your heart. The last
two episodes were the most touching but I found all
the episodes uplifting with their sense of japanesee
style humor. I would recommand this to anyone with a
sense of humor.

Great anime if your looking for laughs.......2002-08-31

This is a very funny series. The scenes in the spa where you just hear the woman talking is great. It's a little over 3 hours long (6 episodes). Although there is one major plot, there are several small ones throughout the series including stories about a "holy object" (very funny once you realize what it is), rock star, food, and even marriage.

The DVD-Rom features are also nice. Not only do they have the full cast and credits, but several images from the series. They even include the dialog for the series if you want to redub it.

There are a couple minor downsides, though. First off, some of the technology is never fully explained. The animation itself tapers very slightly as it progresses. The big difference was the "doodle" (You'll learn a new word in japanese) that was on one characters forhead changed to just a couple of dots towards the end. The ending is a little rushed and very confusing; I had to watch the last two episodes a couple times to understand it.

One important note I feel I should mention. On the box it is labeled for 13 and up. I really think this is too low. There's nudity throughout the entire series and there are constant jokes about nudity and anatomy that really shouldn't be viewed by young children. It is also very graphic (think nosebleed only 10 times worse) Use your discretion.

This is one of those animes that you should get. No collection should be without this.

Good series, bad ending.......2002-01-28

Let me start off by saying the ending seemed rushed, and made little sense. The emperor suddenly showing up, and the strange battle, as they tossed the words a-ho and una-ho around so much it made no sense what tehy were talkign abuot after a while. But in teh end they get him. It seemed like that series should have been longer, so the fight could make better sense.

Photon-sama!.......2001-11-26

i saw this series in fansub format about 2 years ago... and loved it. as soon as i found out that Central Park Media was going to release it, on DVD at that, i had to get it! i have watched it about 5 times now and i still laugh at it. but when i brought my girlfriend over to watch movies she picked this particular one out of all the rest. she was a little... shocked at first (nudity i do believe) but then she was paying attention to what they was doing and saying to each other and she was laughing just as hard as i was. this is a really great comedy anime, with the usual touch on risque subjects.
oh yea, the villan of the series, Poppachan, is so inept... he is just laughable.

Excellent Movie.......2005-04-05

One of the most entertaining Animes out. It's story line is interesting and captivating from beginning to end. A must have for any older teen (Keep away from the Kids, this anime isn't for them)

Tenchi with diffrent characters and still diffrent........2004-09-20

This anime is a very good one. The characters look like characters from Tenchi Muyo and that adds to the story. Its a bit more adult than tenchi muyo as there is nudity in the beginning. The innocence of the Photon makes the story interesting. At times you can tell that he has no idea what is really going on and then there are times, like when photon is fighting, that he seems to be so in control of things. The action that i have seen isnt corney and the comedy is very good. I have seen and own the english version and the dubbing is very good.

delightfully silly.......2004-03-28

This series is supposedly set in the same universe as the original Tenchi Muyo OAV, so expect similar art style, similar technology, and similar attitude -- but with the slapstick humor and fanservice nudity raised significantly. The main character has the innocence of the brain-dead, and yet is somehow in control of the odd directions the plot skitters to. The result is truly strange and truly hilarious. The animation and art quality are consistently high, but I have not seen the US release of this series and can't comment on the production quality of the English version.
