The translation is problematic, with the English dub differing substantially from the subtitles: the blue puppy Cleao adopts is called a "Deep Dragon" in the subtitles, but a "Wolfen" in the spoken dialogue. The animation is erratic, and the design of Orphen's face changes noticeably in the last few episodes. But Orphen remains such a likable character, the viewer willingly overlook any flaws. Note: the plastic case comes apart easily. (Rated 12 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, nudity) --Charles Solomon

Customer Reviews of Orphen - The Perfect Collection
Wish I'd Bought It Sooner I waited for years to watch this anime because it didn't look too interesting. I wish I hadn't waited. This was well worth the money. The animation and music are good (esp the first opening, which I love). But it's the characters that really hook you. Orphen, Cleo and Magic have great chemistry. For humor, I suggest watching the dub although it does deviate and does use anachronistic language. I didn't have a problem with that, because it's not a typical fantasy world (i.e. set in the distant past). The storyline is great, and overall consistent though some episodes can feel more like filler. Glad I took a chance and bought this.
COOL COOL COOL COOL....!!!!
Orphen is a really really really good series. Obviously. It starts a little bit slow, but still manages to make you want to watch more. Once you get to the last ten or so, it's really hard to stop watching it. Volkan and Dortin are really annoying, but hey, without them, where would the humor come from? (aside from Cleao and Majic and Leki, and Black Tiger...) Anyway, this series is definitely recommended.So is Orphen Revenge, though I've only seen the first DVD. The ending is a little twisted, but it's perfect for the series. Also, the nudity in the last few episodes is not needed. Even so, it's one of the better anime series that I've seen.
Don't buy
Orphen stinks!!! For someone who does not know Japanese, this anime is not worth the time and money, even for someone who likes magical and sword fighting animes. First, the plot sucks. Second, the dubbing does not match the subtitle. And third, the character's (especially, Orphen and his crew) names change often.
If you are not a Japanese speaker, don't buy Orphen because you will not be able to understand this anime.
