Volume 6

[MrBS]

I got my hands on volume 6 today and although not the best volume it was definately better than the last couple. So far I've watched it subbed only so no thoughts on dub or vid notes as yet.

The final volume consists of some rather well done episodes. The first is the wacky finale of all the puchuu references and is very funny, it is obviously making blatant parody of space animes (I don't know what the are though :p) and probably the best puchuu episode all round and gives enough incentive to buy the final volume for this episode alone. However the first five minutes is recaps.

Episodes 23-25 are a three part story arc to finish the series and as are done for the most part seriously. Don't worry although the ep's story/acting are serious it is intentially overdone to the point of camp/parody so it is still funny

Episode 26 comes after the events of ep 25 but could fall anywhere realy in the series, there is no real plot but rather a mix-up of some sickeningly funny scenes put together. Be warned the Shioji lolita complex probably provides the majority of the MA15+ rating!

All in all depsite that is Excel did hit a lull mid series overall I loved it and am glad to have the six volumes sitting in my 'book'shelf. The best excel volume in a while, and a great finish to the series. Buy it.

I saw episode 26 a year ago, and my favourite scene is still clear in my mind......Nabeshin with two heavy machine guns shooting the occupants of the Love Hotel :lol:

Well I've just finished watching Excel Saga and I must say that I REALLY enjoyed the series. One of my favorites for sure. But I actually enjoyed Volume 6. It wasn't as funny as the other volumes but the seriousness of this was a strong point. For an anime that had no plot up to this point, did a really good job at it. I'm going to miss buying this series every month :(

Oh and with episode 26, well it wasn't as funny as I thought it was. The jokes were alright, but it just seemed to me that the characters were too much out of characters for my liking. Oh Well, it was only suppose to be a bonus episode.

Buying online Schizm or connections maybe? Well lack of a credit card stops me from buying online.

Well just finished watching the 5 episodes.

It was nice to see some plot in the last few episodes, I really liked that Puchuu episode with that Puchuu gundam. And that Fist of North Star episode =)

The gag free episode was eh average ...

And episode 25, that was pretty good loved the many many robonmatsu (sp?)

Finally episode 26 well that was pretty far out there, I was sort of expecting way way out there but still it was great. Especially the part with that pink haired girl revealing her chest ohh that cracked me up! :lol:

Overall Im happy with Excel Saga, cant wait for Puni Puni Poemy
