A must-see series
This is a very interesting series. What strikes me most is the supranational atmosphere that prevails in the whole series. The various cityscapes that appear in the series are often a melange of North America, Asia, and Middle East. This statelessness applies to the main characters as well. They all bear western-sounding names - Spike, Jet, Fay, Ed, etc. - but look decidedly Asian to me. They are just as rootless as they are stateless as they all have a past that they struggle to come to terms with. They piece together the shattered fragments of their less-than-savory past as they wander around from one planet to another. All this is presumably a reflection of the so-called globalism that now seems to be eveloping the world.
If there are any villains in this series, they are all depicted as victims of circumstances, imparting a sense of sadness and soulfulness to the proceedings. All in all, this is a very good series and also serves as a reminder that the consciousness of the masses has gone well beyond national boundaries in the realm of popular culture while our leaders are busy exciting people's patriotic feelings on both sides of the Pacific.

ahhh, yeah...
The best anime i have ever seen, i got it and watched it all in two days. It's unbelievably good, the fights are awesome, and for once in anime, the plot is creative and engrossing.

A 10 year Otaku's opinion
From what I can see of this show, it certainly does bleed 'coolness'. The fight scenes are top notch, the comedy is on spot from subtleness to blatant weirdness. The comercial on tv for this says it best, '4 notes'. These four characters are on their own journeys and don't always get along, but they do what they gotta do to survive and find what they are searching for if at all. The english voices are great and that's saying something from a dub hater such as myself. Now 35 dollars? That's a semi illegal hong kong import. I have seen this series a few times, but I do not seem to have the ability to buy the actual box set. I refuse to buy an import of this, I'd rather spend a hundred or so (a much more worthy price for such a series, heck I'd pay a bit more) for the American release. This way I know the money is going to the right hands as thanks for such a brilliant series. I'll also say this, Ed rules, Spike kicks... (...), Faye is hot as... something very hot and Jet is the man! Peace!
