I purchased this product based on the reviews seen here. All I can say, they are probably created by preteen boys. At their age, I can’t fault them for it because I liked Voltron at that age too.
The series consist of mostly fighting. As such the enemies become more difficulty as the series progresses. So, it’s episodes can be similar to that of Angelic Layer without the fun, enjoyment, and an actual storyline.
There is some romance. It can be as stale and lacking as is in Green Green or DearS.
For a similar fast pace action and better series look toward Angelic Layer. For romance, choose Chobits. If you want gut breaking heartbreak then Elfen Lied would be a good choice. Warning, Elfen Lied is not a kid friendly anime.

I’m not sure what the 2-star review person is going on about. I’m a 20 year old female and I think this show rocks. XD This is the very first anime I ever watched, and it had me hooked from the very beginning. Which, given my short attention span, says something in and of itself.
If any of the information in this review is off, I apologize, it’s been about 2 years since I last saw it, hence the reason for me buying it again lol.
Pros:
Great artwork, epic fight scenes, both Japanese and English actors did a fantastic job. Each character has their own individual storyline, and their own issues. It’s one of those shows where you can actually feel sorry for the bad guys. AMAZING soundtrack, Kenji Kawai is a freaking genius. To be perfectly honest, if I don’t like the opening theme for an anime, it usually means I won’t like the anime itself. I’m not sure why. But I loved the opening theme for Fate/Stay Night, and loved the rest of it as well.
Cons:
I thought there were too few episodes, so the end of the show seemed a little rushed and packed into a too tiny time frame. The relationship between Saber and Shirou was one of my favorite parts, and there was not enough effort put into that. Also the ending is slightly abrupt, and leaves you wanting more, which sucks because there is no more, unless Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is released in the US. (Hint hint! XD)
That’s about all I can think of lol, I haven’t seen this in about 2 years so I don’t remember too terribly much. I’m really super excited to receive it in the mail and watch it again! Anyhow, great show, maybe not the BEST, but certainly worth watching.

The Japanese blu-ray of this collection has only been out for about 3 months. Unfortunately while it is region free the cost of importing the blu-ray is just around $320 (not including shipping), compared to the current (on sale) price of $38.49 for the domestic DVD collection. Also, there are /no/ English subtitles option with the Japanese blu-ray release. So for now it is still easily recommended to purchase this DVD collection. But for those who want to see this series in 720p resolution and English dub or sub it will require more patience as it may still be a much longer wait for Funimation to release the domestic blu-ray set. Hopefully it will be released at a much lower price than the current cost of importing.
Additionally note that this reviewed item is the 2009 re-priced version of the DVD collection. I am not sure if there are any major differences within the extras or content compared with the earlier DVD collection.
