Amon Saga [DVD]

I love anime but, as with all the manga collection, you get next to nothing in special features. The animation is good but there is so little time to explore the origins and training of Amon. This deserved a longer run time or even a three part story like some other manga/anime out there. Buy it for the quality of animation but not if you crave a desent story.

A classic anime but feels like some of the story has been stripped out. Perhaps the Japanese version would reveal more...

crap film, ordered for friend.

Excellent film childhood favourite

Bought this to replace a friends copy when it got damaged during a flood.

awesome love old school anime

i didn't really know what to expect from this one but let's say that i was moderately suprised. For starters it's a good length. The actual story is involving and deep and is seen through to it's satisfied end. The story revolves around the main character; Amon. Who is seeking revenge for his dead mother but meets a princess along the way who falls in love with him. A competition is held for people to become the evil emporer's guards and Amon manages to sneak in. From which point the film takes an Enter the dragon approach with Amon stealthing around. The animation isn't great and looks kinda dated. it makes you feel distant from the characters at times but this is excused by the characters all in all being likeable. As with all manga collection titles - you can't have japanese language and the extras are pretty rubbish.(just trailers) So then, comedy and quite good action sequences combined with a fantasy edge make up for the shortcomings of this dvd.
