ReBoot - Season III, Vol. 2

Amazon.com

Future techies in search of screen-popping adventures souped up with the latest cyber lingo need look no farther than ReBoot: Season III, Vol. 2, (a series that airs on the Cartoon Network), which finds the formatless Matrix and AndrAIa along with their virtual pup, Frisket, fighting their way through a gamut of games, all of which have been infected by evil. The goal of the hard-bodied and green-tinged yet still good-looking pair, known among the folds of funny-looking creatures who inhabit the games as guardians, or good guys, whose job it is to "mend and defend," goes beyond superheroics. Mostly, they're interested in hopping a ride onto the Internet, where they can navigate their way back to their long lost home, Mainframe. In this endeavor, they're consistently stymied, but not much else stumps them, at least not for long. In episode 1 of this four-part tape, Icons, something suspicious is sucking the life out of a nearly defenseless system; Matrix assembles an army of R2-D2-like recruits and heads off to Chron the Destroyer where, after a successful reboot, he's able to help make repairs. From there, in Where No Sprite Has Gone Before, Number 7, and The Episode with No Name, the pair defies deletion through crash-threatening tears, identity altering reboots, superviruses, and hostage situations. Whether they'll ever make it back to Mainframe is anybody's guess, but boys and girls 8 and up whose hard drives occupy a special place in their hearts will have an "alphanumeric" time waiting to find out. --Tammy La Gorce

Description

Traveling the Games, we follow our cynical hero Matrix, once a young and energetic sprite named Enzo, and his companions AndrAIa and Frisket as they wander the Net in search of his mentor Bob and the Game Cube that will bring them home.

It is the lessons Matrix learns by helping these others that ultimately convinces him to aggressively pursue his future, continue his search for Bob and finally finds him entering through a portal into the Web. Third season, episodes 5-8.

Season III, Vol. 2 - The Net.......2007-02-28

Good Anime !!!!

very disapointing.......2006-10-07

While I'm a great fan of reboot, my second favorite show growing up (transformers was my first), this is outrageous, to charge this sort of price for four or five episodes, and they didn't even release season 1 or 2, I would gladly pay the price there asking if it was the full season, but this isn't worth it.

If you did a little research you would find out the the 4 Vols sold on amazon are vol 1-4 of seasonIII. It is one complete season. not random episodes from different seasons. I too would gladly like to see all the seasons. But come on WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FOR about 20 bucks A WHOLE SEASON GET REAL USE YOUR BRAIN THINK. Most series that sell as whole season sell for well over 50 bucks!
Your review is incorrect and made me do research before i decided to buy. Please find all the facts before posting incorrect reviews!

Now onto the review!
Reboot is great! These 4 vols of season III are wonderful we could only hope that the first 2 seasons come out sometime in the future! Season IV is slated for later this year!

READ THIS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE!.......2003-04-25

As a fan of Reboot I was thrilled that I might see the entire collection. Although DVD's are sold as Volumes they only contain a few episodes. Not near enough to enjoy the true richness of the series. When I purchased ALL 4 volumes some even purported to be "seasons" I expected to get just that. Not 4 selected epsiodes from each year. I would have GLADLY paid more to actually get what I wanted...this was only a teaser DVD...

Buy It.......2003-03-05

What can I say? I used to watch this a few years ago in the UK. However, it was taken off air because it was considered too dark for children's television. All the Episodes are Superb. The Animation is Great. The only fault with this DVD is the Extras. Considering the fact that there are onl 4 Episodes per Disc, why couldn't we get more Extras. I would have loved to see the faces behind the Characters, how Storylines are developed etc. Overall, this DVD (along with Volumes 3 & 4) is Superb.
