and has ruined the image of Mr Bean for me. At first I was curious and quite excited - I had hoped the comedy would be on the same lines as the original but I was wrong.
The soundtrack is mostly orchestral with symbols, drums and flutes to emphasise dramtic turn arounds and Beans thoughts. The vocals, as the televised original series is basically mumbles and whimpers with the odd 'ooooo' sound. Another thing that irritates me is the fact that they have tried to modernise him and have given him a girl friend, not that that ever get together, lord no, what would happen to teddy, where would he sleep!? Irma Gobb is more a romantic interst whom Bean tries to impress, but rarely suceeds.
In this single DVD volume you get 8 episodes, each lasting about 15minutes in length and include; 'In The Wild', 'Missing Teddy', 'No Parking', 'Bean's Bounty ...
Advantages: great music, acting and storyline Disadvantages: only two episodes on this one dvd, and they cut the tune!
Isn't it wonderful when those child hood memories come back to you, and whats even better is when they are in snazzy updated (graphics and sound wise anyway) version, such as this dvd.
Fraggle rock, as most can remember was another genius creation from Jim Henson. For those out of the loop, or are lucky enough to be too young to remember, he's the same man who is responsible for the existence of the muppets, sesame street and of course - the fraggles!

This DVD contains 2 episodes which are run back to back which cuts on time and makes the whole running only 48 minutes in length. What they've done with the orginal format is quite displeasing actually, although this version is less fuzzy than the vhs one they've cut down the episodes so that theres ...
Advantages: Good ammount of action Disadvantages: Could of been better
believable because of its origins... which I'm not going to explain here. They are definitely the better part of the story.
The worse part of the story, unfortunately, comes with the series' drama. More often than not, Misaki's angel Hikaru has to take on vastly superior opponents - not because the other players are so skilled, but because other angels have obviously superior technology. Who'd want to compete in a Formula 1 race with only a Volkswagen New Beetle? Some of the angel battles are something like "Jackie Chan vs. Dragonball's Goku" - one fighter resorts to kicks and punches, the other to energy blasts and flying attacks. It's hard to imagine a game getting so popular when some players have such obvious edges.
There is also one major plot hole: one player is beaten in a regional tournament where only the winner proceeds to ...

DVD Description
The genre-bending anime series 'Burst Angel' blends sci-fi, action, comedy, and even a touch of spaghetti Western into a thrilling girls-with-guns confection. In a futuristic Tokyo, a new law that allows citizens to openly carry guns has actually led to an increase in crime, and a shadowy organisation known as RAPT (Recent Armed Police of Tokyo) actively encourages violence in order to profit from the chaos. Into this anarchic milieu stride a quartet of scantily-clad young women named Jo, Sei, Amy, and Meg, who attempt to bring a sense of order and justice to the lawless land with their gun-slinging ways and leather chaps. Violent and sexy, this volume introduces the anime series with the first episodes.
