Created by Brooke Burgess, Ian Kirby, and Andrew West, Broken Saints is the complex tale of an unlikely alliance between four individuals from very different walks of life. Shandala is a mysterious, 18-year-old woman from an uncharted Fijian island, altruistic and innocent yet possessed of terrifying powers. Raimi is a young, Canadian developer of security software who encounters a powerful force online and believes something big is about to take place on the planet. Oran is a Muslim from Baghdad who goes temporarily mad while guarding a bunker alone. Kamimura is an elderly, Shinto mystic from Japan estranged from his former Buddhist order. The quartet is connected through common visions of dark forces about to be unleashed, though they also learn quite a bit about themselves and each other during their perilous mission. Watching this series from beginning to end is a special and unique experience. As the story progresses, the makers of Broken Saints get better and better at their mixed-media technology, and the results are often beautiful and profound. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews of Broken Saints - The Animated Comic Epic
Broken Saints stands alone... In our world of pre-packaged, ready-to-eat, instant-gratification entertainment, Broken Saints stands alone...a beacon to those who long for more than the 90 minute slack-jaw cinema experience. This series makes no apologies for its 12 HOURS OF ENGAGING STORYTELLING, the likes of which have never been seen before or since. Do not be fooled by overly simplistic paraphrases and summaries of its content - Broken Saints touches on nearly every relevant issue facing humankind today, and builds its foundation upon the most historic and universal archetypes, allowing it to transcend barriers of language, age or creed. Brooke Burgess weaves a tale that is so filled with undercurrent and subtext, that you will find the surface plot only barely scratches the surface of the series' intent. <

>I like to describe Broken Saints as a comic book in motion. Andrew West's inspired artwork is brought to life through Ian Kirby's masterful manipulation of the Flash medium. Lush canvases are created, figures are gorgeously illuminated, and the text of the story guides you through each frame, bringing you closer to the moment of understanding, when the message of Broken Saints ultimately resonates. <
> <
>Bringing the emotion of the printed word to the forefront is difficult for even the greatest writer to achieve, but again, Broken Saints excels with the all-important musical contributions of Tobias Tinker. The soundtrack of this series is an emotive journey through various distinctive sonic soundscapes. It is the music of this series that brings you to the edge of your seat, and the tears to your eyes. <

>In its current evolution, Broken Saints is brought fully to life by the contribution of some truly phenomenal vocal talents. I challenge anyone to not be moved by Michael Dobson's portrayal of Oran, the faithful Iraqi muslim who is tormented by the choices he must make between serving God and serving his nation. <

>I highly recommend Broken Saints to anyone looking for material that challenges your beliefs, your politics, and your state of mind. I encourage anyone who is even remotely curious to buy this DVD, and give the series a chance. In fact, if you even had the attention span to read this far into my review, you will very likely enjoy and appreciate this set. Turn out the lights, turn up the sound, let Broken Saints wash over you. Engage it, and you will find what millions across the globe have found within...what would you give to know the truth? <

One word: Amazing
I was beyond stoked when I found that Broken Saints had come to DVD. One can go on and on about the amount of work that has obviously gone into it, but more importantly is the overall message, which I wouldn't dare ruin or try to sully with my limited vocabulary.

Compelling and Enlightening! The way comic books are supposed to be!!
This series has been a part of me since it first started. I've followed the series from Chapter I in flash format and now on remastered DVD. The story is a complelling and gripping one with a plot that slowly unravels with each chapter becoming more and more exhilerating up to the climactic ending. Each chapter pulling you closer and closer to the story and each character as they learn more about themselves as well as the forces against them. Visually, the series is amazing. Text and qoutes both familiar and new from various books and historical figures flash across the screen and draw you in while the scenes and animation keep you for the ride. The musical score is beautifully fitting for each scene. Be it sweet and gentle or rough and gritty, the audio effects and musical backgrounds deliver the scene straight into full and compelling view. And with this DVD comes the all new voice narration... something the Flash version lacked but it didn't take away from the effect of the story. With these new voices it completely brings the story from it's comic book state to a level matching that of a full motion picture. BROKEN SAINTS is worth more than 5 stars... This series will keep you asking for more long after you've finished watching the last chapter. And with all the extra features and bonus material included on this exceptional 4-disc set you'll be entertained for days on end. The DVD box artwork is enough to make you want to open it and pop Disc 1 into the DVD player as soon as you look at it. For those of you who like cliffhanger endings on your television series... for those of you who love climactic and vindicative endings... for those of you who enjoy an in-depth and gripping tale... and for those of you who are open-minded to a brand new experience that will touch and affect you... buy this DVD.
