Product Description

Amazon.ca

With Nasté and Jun providing technical and moral support, Ryo, Seiji, Toma, Shin, and Shu continue their adventures in these 1989 OVA sequels. In Gaiden, they're pitted against the sorcerer Shikaisen, who recalls Lord Arago in the broadcast series. The longer Legend of the Inferno Armor is set in Africa, where the quintet battles a mysterious warrior who fights with an outsized boomerang. But two suits of "Inferno Armor" that possess the warriors for their own purposes are the real villains in this drawn-out tale. Like the original Ronin Warriors, which aired in the U.S. in syndication in 1995, the designs, animation, direction, and storytelling feel very dated. It's difficult to believe these OVAs debuted the same year as Ranma 1/2. Ronin Warriors has vociferous fans in America, who constitute the obvious audience for these recycled sagas. (Rated 13 and older: violence, profanity, alcohol use, ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars OVA discription... Feb 19 2004
By jill
Format:DVD
I love this series! the ova's are amazing, BUT, yes there is a but, everywhere i have read for the OVA 1 description, says something about Sage going to america, NYC, and Kento winning the lottery, and it;s called Gaiden...well this isn't the same DVD you get, you get the NEXT OVA, which is about the Inferno Armor. this sorta peeves me, cuz i really REALLY wanna see Gaiden...but i can't find it anywhere! ahh, but this is a great DVD, a must have. and yes i am a little peeved a the voice changes, and Ryo's name change, but it;s different, like they evolved or something...oooh the best thing to do, when watching the english dubbed version, is put on the subtitles, Totally different dialogue...=)

5.0 out of 5 stars A long-time Ronin Fan! Jun 3 2003
Format:DVD
This is an EXCELLENT DVD! I loved the ideas! I can't wait for the second one!

This is the story of how Sage has gone missing when he went to New York. The fact that he doesn't show up for Ryo's 16th birthday party worries the other four. When they go to New York, Kento and Rowen go head to head against Sage's armor! But the odd thing is, Sage isn't in it!. They meet a girl named Runa, and together, the six have to find Sage and rescue him without falling victim to the same thing!

The Legend of the Inferno armor is the best. (I love both of them, but this one is just amazing)The five armors are pulling the five Ronins to battle. The Ronins face off against the warroir Mukala. He is without armor and wields only a large boomerang, but he still whipps the all four of them,and then kidnapps Ryo and Sage! Cye seems to have lost the will to fight and leavs, so it's up to Mia, Kento, Yuli, and Rowen to find Ryo and Sage and bring them home safely. Which is harder than it sounds. The clash of the Inferno armors is going to be more difficult than anyone could have imagined.

The voices have all changed in their own way, not much on some, a lot on others. Ryo, Rowen's and Cye's all are pretty much the same. Kento and Sage, well, that's another story. Michael Donnovan only voices Cye in this. Sage is voiced by someone else and I personally like it! :) Kento sound way different. It's kind of hard to explain. He still speaks the same way, but his voice has changed incredibly. Everything that they messed up on the TV sieries has been fixed(ie. Sage's kanji is now grace, and Rowen's is now Wisdom). It's an excellent DVD, and I think all Ronin freaks, like me, should see it!:)

5.0 out of 5 stars A long-standing Ronin Fan... April 26 2003
Format:DVD
First off, I LOVE THIS DVD!... I've been waiting a long time for this one. *grins happily*
Now, my little review of it.
First: The voice casting. Considering this series originally came out in the early 80's, the voice casting isn't half bad. Cye, Ryo, and Rowen all have the same voices, though Rowen's is a little different (sounds older). Sage and Kento on the other hand... ayi. Kento just doesn't sound goofy enough and Sage... I won't even go there. The voice actor of Dais?! Come on, guys...

Good Point!! Cye has a TON of dialog in 'Inferno'!! Which I *ahem* am profoundly grateful for. :) Even if he does go berserk on Rowen and Kento.

Bad Point!! Changing Ryo's Name, Surekill and switching the original virtues from the series. Okay, I know it makes it more correct... But, if it's been wrong the whole 39 episodes, after 20+ years.... LEAVE IT WRONG!! Please!! It just doesn't sound right after being so used to hearing it the other way! 'Rio'? 'Fury of Wildfire'?? (And Mukara's name too... 'Mukala'??)

Good Point!! BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION!... Whoa. I think it's even better then the series animation...!! The guys just look so much nicer! (Not so blocky.) These stories have a lot more depth then just "Enemy appears= Fight= Ryo has mental break down= Ronin's win= Happy Ending". It's goes more into their lives.

Semi-bad Point!! If you're used to the Japanese version of these movies, the English versions seem to have a much slower pace.

Great Plots, Cool Bad Guys, Great Animation, Cye has more then half a dozen lines.... I think Bandai did I really great job on this DVD!! Many thanks!!

The only thing I don't like about this series is that they changed the prnounciation of Ryo's name.
With that out of the way, I think this series is great! Read more

Finally, Bandai continues the saga of the Ronin Warriors! The OVAs were made especially for video, so they weren't shown on American TV after the original series ended. Read more
