Customer Reviews of Excel Saga - Going Way Too Far (Vol. 6)

EP22 (A-): The Puchuu's are back with a vengence and the only thing standing between them and World domination (and Armaggedaboom for F City) is Excel and a band of rebel Puchuu warriors

Great episode with some good parodys and a great ending.

EP23 (A+): F City is totally devastated and has become an apocolyptic warzone where only the strong survive, a wandering excel takes on an evil biker gang while continuing Her search for Lord Ilpalazzo only to make a devastating descovery.

This episode is awesome simply for the amazing ending, who would have ever thought that Excel Saga could be emotional.

EP24 (A+): Left for dead Excel awakens with no memory under the care of Watanabe and co., Kabapu deicides it is time to fight back against the mighty forces of ACROSS and sends the Daitenzin's back into action meanwhile Pedro and Nabeshin begin their final battle with That Man.

Another awesome episode which has much less humor then any other episode in the series (almost none actually) and pulls it off superbly.

EP25 (A): In the epic final battle for F City the Daitenzin's go head to head with ACROSS and its forces and eventually Lord Ilpalazzon Himself in the ultimate battle of good against evil (by Excel Saga standards anyway lol), meanwile the stakes are even higher as Pedro goes head to head with That Man but not only are His Sexy Wife and The Will at stake but also the fate of the Universe all while Excel continues Her journey of self discovery.

The true final episode and a great finale to the series.

EP26 (A-): A special never before seen episode which goes into over drive and will probably offend pretty much everybody.

This episode is deffinatly a must see for "older" fans but not for younger viewers, has to be seen to be believed.

Overall score A+

Oh man...
I personally loved the entire Excel Saga series. Some episodes were better than others on this DVD, but Ep 24 & 25 really stood out on this disc. Great and funny stuff, fantastic spoofs on some of the more popular anime.

HOWEVER!
There are times in some anime series where I wish an edited version existed. The last episode of Excel Saga is definetely one of these. NOT FOR KIDS SHOULD PROBABLY READ NOT FOR ANYBODY. I will not buy this DVD unless I can get it without Episode 26. It really threw this over all great series into the mud.

I Wasn't Going to Review This Voulme...
...as I thought that my review of the first volume pretty much summed up my thoughts on the series.

HOWEVER; as the sixth volume differs from the rest of the series in a few ways I felt compelled to speak up.

First, this volume is definately NOT for kids. I say this because I let my kids watch some of the episodes on the other discs which, while sprinkled with a little light foul language, are no more or less violent than most Toonami shows.

But this is Quack Experimental Anime's swan song (as it were), so they pulled out all the stops for the final episodes. That means there is gratuitious violence and blood, nudity, simulated sexual situations, really foul language and borderline pedophilia. Boy, those Japanese have some real relationship issues. Even I was uncomfortable watching this one, because even though the girl turns out to be a very short woman the scientist doesn't know that until she reveals it - and herself - at which point his interest in a relationship with her wanes.

But the rest is typical Excel: Menchi finally gets to turn the tables on the humans in the end, Mr. Pedro and Afro Guy save the day, and Excel and Ilpallazo look like they finally might let thier feelings towards each other come out.

I can't give it 5 stars because of the one wierd scene, but I found the rest of the disc great as usual.
