Blade: What isn't interesting about Excel Saga?
Epsilon: You know, it's really hard to describe Excel Saga, because no matter how you try, it always sounds like a poor man's rip-off of every anime in existence.
Blade: That's because it is.
Epsilon: (pause) And it's also the only anime I know of that has extensive appearences by the series creators, even to the point where they heavily influence the plotline.
Blade: It's like a self-insert fic!
Epsilon: It changes genre and direction in every episode, can barely be said to contain any kind of continuity or plotline, and to top it off, the American voice actress for the main character changes halfway through the series.
Blade: Not to mention the gratuitously cheesecakey skintight bodysuits!
Epsilon: And there's the most offensive character in all of anime, the pedophile who designs robots to serve his every need. Who doesn't even get punished in any way for this.
Blade: In fact, he's one of the heroes!
Epsilon: And the last episode was so grossly disgusting and over- the-top that they couldn't even show it on JAPANESE television. More blood in that episode than in Fist of the North Star.
Blade: More naked lesbian chicks making out, too.
Epsilon: So, what do you think? One of the greatest anime of all time?
Blade: Definitely.
Epsilon: And there's not really anything we can say about the plot, situations, or characters we haven't already said, so...this is highly recommended, but be warned that if you buy the first DVD, you'll probably buy the rest of the series. A-.
Blade: Unless you're one of those phenomenal pussies who refuse
to ever buy anything ADV puts out again because of the pedo. You
just suck, crybabies. A.
