Movie Reviews of Godannar: Complete Collection
Movie Review: Completely different packaging
Summary: 5 Stars
There are already numerous Godannar reviews on amazon.com on for the individual volumes, so I'll just review the DVD release itself.
Like most ADVision thinpack sets, all the extras have been removed, which is unfortunate since Godannar had some nice extras. Mainly, the clean openings and closings, and various pictures and galleries. You don't get the paper inserts either, and the Godannar insert mini-booklets had some nice mini-posters as well as cast interviews.
On the other hand all the packaging is different and kind of interesting for this thinpack release. The box itself is orange overall and contains a terrific picture of Mira, Shizuru, and Godannar on one side (the Mira picture is new) and a picture of Anna on the other side (same picture as the Godannar DVD 7 cover). There are 5 DVDs total, each with 5 episodes except for the last one which has 6 episodes on it. Each DVD thinpack case has an orange cover with a big picture of a robot on it, and each DVD itself has an orange picture with a picture of a girl on it. From first to last, the robot pictures are Godannar (fused), Club Mariner, G-Gunner, Goddiner, and Godannar (blue) with Neo-Okusaer. The girl pictures are Anna, Lou, Shizuru, then surprisingly Luna (pilot of Genesister with yellow hair in pigtails), then finally....Anna's mom?! Yuck oh well. Why not Mira? The Luna picture is new, the rest we've seen before. Kind of weird packaging, but it's for the most part different, and a couple of them are really nice (Mira and Luna).
The DVD menus are also new. They are orange too, and stationary, and ugly. Oh well. The show itself is exactly the same as on the individual volumes. The Season 2 intros in particular remain blurry, which sucks.
Godannar is the best show ever made though and for this price it's a bargain, so I recommend this box set to anyone who hasn't purchased the individual volumes yet. But if you already have the individual volumes, you probably shouldn't bother getting this. In my case, I found a good deal so I bought it just to have an extra copy of Godannar. I paid close to $30 for this boxset, and I paid about $210 to buy all 7 volumes individually (I paid retail price back then, although I got my copies 2-3 weeks before the release dates because of that). This version can also be more convenient to watch if you want more episodes to be on a disc.
Someday I'll have to re-author my own version of Godannar by cutting out the blurry Season Two intros and replacing them with the normal-quality textless Season Two intros found on the original DVDs.
