Excel Saga volume 3: When Excels Strike (Out)by Sheena McNeilReviews may contain information that could be considered 'spoilers'. Readers should proceed at their own risk. Studio
Credits Grade: 10 If I were just reviewing the episodes I might consider giving it a 9, but when reviewing a DVD like this one you can't help but give it a 10. What puts it over the top? The extras! The extras on this DVD can easily provide hours of crazy fun with Menchi recipies, games, production sketches, AD Vid-notes, and an intereview with Shinichi Watanabe!When Excels Strike (Out) contains episodes 10 — 13 in which our favorite protagonists Excel Excel and Hyatt continue their attempts to conquor the city of F for ACROSS! And as usual, their antics are accompanied by parodies of other popular anime like Geobreeders, Princes Nine, Yu Yu Hakusho, Black Jack, Lupin, and Gundam. Episode 10 is dedicated solely to Myncie (who still looks and sounds like a cat to me), 11 is one very odd look at baseball (or just odd baseball), 12 involves a possessed detective and our favorite civil servants as her helpers of the day, and 13 is a game show episode in which Excel and Hyatt review past episodes to determine who made the better presentation of characters. You can only begin to imagine the problems our they all run up against! Excel Saga is addictive; it's one of those anime that grabs your attention the instant you turn it on and you can't help but watch it over and over as your sides ache from all the laughter. Subbed or dubbed, either way it's a riot! This is one anime no one should be without! Written: December 1, 2002
