Customer Reviews of Zeiram
Ignore those other reviews Those reviews are about the Fox Lorber release which is dubbed. This is not that DVD. This is the Tokyoshock release with it's original language and subtitles.
Pleased with video purchase
I was happy with my purchase of a hard to find movie such as "Zeram". The video was as advertised, well packed and shipped on time.
Live Action Anime
It’s been a while since I have had this much fun watching a low-budget Japanese movie. We’re not really talking cheesy production values fun or lame acting fun. I am talking about straight up legitimate movie viewing fun! Think of it as a live action anime and that will get you closer to the experience that is Zeram.

>The plot is pretty simple, but it is executed in a solid manner. There are really only a handful of characters in Zeram so there was a nice amount of subtle development involved. The two electricians, though tend to be a little like Laurel and Hardy or Abbot and Costello at times, have a charming dynamic going between them which helps ground the whole story. Yuko Moriyama also does a good job being the beautiful yet bad to the bone bounty hunter Iria without taking if over the top.

>Special effects aren’t bad considering the budget. A few people in silly rubber suits come in, but Zeram itself looks really nice. The rest of the effects are obviously of the lower quality caliber, but they use them so very well. The cinematography in some scenes emulates what you would see in an action packed anime, which again works very well. Props are cool, but I noticed Iria’s base of operations is loaded with props that are actually various electronic drums machines from Roland, Korg and Yamaha. Only a drum machine fan would get that though.

>Zeram is simply a fun movie. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. In spite of the apparently low budget it comes off as a top-notch, though eclectic, movie. If you are an anime fan I recommend the experience. If you like the cyberpunk sci-fi I recommend it also, just don’t expect another Bladerunner. This is, after all, light fare.
