Customer Reviews of Excel Saga - Missions Improbable (Vol. 2)

Considering how the pacing of the first DVD was insanely fast (new comedic devices were constantly introduced throughout the first few episodes), I was somewhat expecting the rest of these episodes to carry on with the frenetic same pace. This, however, is not the case. There is more of what has already been seen - quite disappointing indeed. The Pedro and Menchi gimmick get kinda tiring by the time you see them again, and the puchuu concept is already getting old. New ideas are introduced, but none of them are nowhere near as noteworthy or deserving of attention (parodies of bowling, more puchuus in sewers, and a "girls only" episode. Woo hoo.). It seems that the writers of Excel Saga had a few good ideas, and loaded them all into two episodes. It's not all bad, but it's certainly not very good either.

For this volume, I fell asleep during the bowling episode, and was very bored during other episodes. I watched the original volume at four in the morning and had energy to spare. You could spend your money on better anime than this.

I think my gut exploded...
When I first heard about Excel Saga in Animerica magazine, I was like "wow, that sounds funny!" I was wrong...it's hilarious!! As said, if you don't even crack a smile during this crazy anime, something is wrong with your funny bone.

In Excel Saga DVD #2, more insanity is introduced with a new female character. Excel goes to the mountains, the pool, the sewers and bowling alleys! Plus you got a Monkey King, Titanic, Gundam and ET movie spoof in here all in one minute! This anime is the most legally insane of all and you just have to laugh at the cute creatures being killed and Excel lying on the pool side with a huge belly while saying (in English) "I'm sexy..." Plus Excel shows a passionate side by trying to warm up an ice cube Hyatt in a most..er...interesting way! ^.^;;;;;;;;;;;;

If you need cheering up, buy Excel Saga! It's been called "the most guilty pleasure of the year", but I don't feel so guilty about it... ^_~ "ON FIRE!!"

Another great volume
Excel Saga Volume 2 continues where Volume 1 left off...absolutely no where. It develops the civil service storyline with Watanabe and the gang, as well as adding to poor Pedro who longs for his "sexy wife and son," but otherwise it continues its routine and hilarious humor and flat-out strange plotlines.

The classic episode for me, and the best reason I could find to keep going on with the series, was the third episode on this DVD involving bowling. Ilpallazo sends Excel and Hyatt to work at a bowling alley to see why the "ignorant masses" are so fond of sports. While a low budget bowling show is showcasting two pop idols (who, in the original Japanese, are played by the singers who do the opening theme) an ideological organization of bowling fanatics comes in and takes over. Basically, imagine Al Qaeda, except with a fetish for bowling. What follows in the English dub is a series of "ball" and "stick" or otherwise just bowling oriented gags and jokes. Please, don't think I'm immature, but I can't help but smile when the leader of "Stick and Balls" turns to Excel and Hyatt and declares: "Hey! You main characters come over here and grab my balls!"

All right, I digressed there, but just letting y'all know why I liked this volume and why I went on to buy Volume 3. Hell...I just love this series.
