Different but good, Jun 30 2004
The animation is odd... the hand-drawn is good, the computer animation is mostly good, but together it's not so good. So be prepared. It's also not entirely for kids... the Magun is so blatantly phallic it's funny. But you have all the things that make Final Fantasy: chocobos, summoning, a huge plot, and Cid. The four episodes on disc 1 make you wanting more, just to learn what you don't know yet.

Good anime series... for kids., Feb 20 2004
I'm a big fan of the Final Fantasy games and also of anime, so when I saw this series available on DVD I rushed out and got the first phrase. It's not a bad series, but it's not for everyone - and it's certainly not something I would recommand to most people. It has interesting characters, amazing music (some straight from the games), and some nicely done animation... But one main thing stops me from liking it, is that it seems to be aimed at kids. The voice acting is afterschool-cartoon-grade, the art direction is cutesy and immature, and the same goes for the plot, which again is cutesy, immature and thin as rice paper. If you're after a Pokemon or Digimon type cartoon show, then this is for you. However if you're after mature Miyazaki-grade anime then look elsewhere.

Very Disappointing!!, Dec 7 2003
I have been a big fan of Final Fantasy since I played the first game for Nintendo. I have been eagerly awaitng this set to come out. However when I watched the first episode, I was very disappointed, the animation is terrible, the story is weak, does not resemble the series at all. I don't think any fan of the series will be happy with this set.
