Rosario + Vampire - Season One

This box set comes with a hard cover box, and a normal DVD case to protect the two DVDs the show is split on. There is another cardboard box that comes with the box and inside the box is the art book. It's not really worth listing, nothing impressive about the art book. It has all the females in the same pose but different outfits. Their normal outfit and a different one in the same pose. Than a few group shots. Like I said nothing new.If your not a person that likes to keep their cases the way they are, than you can get "Season 2" of this anime and use the outside hard box as a holder for both seasons. Which works out well, all you would have to do is take out the cardboard box slip that holds the art book and put "Season 2" next to "Season 1".The anime is not censored. It has all the fan service you can want and than some.In a nut shell the show is pure fan service. It has a developing story throughout, but fails to develop any real characters. The characters it presents does a decent job at allowing you to connect and immerse yourself in the world, but once you are finish watching you will soon forget them. This by no means it's not worth watching. The show slightly fails at providing deep characters, but the funny situations they get into are what make it worthwhile.Season one starts off with your main character trying to get into high school. He has not been able to gain accesses to any real schools, but somehow he is able to gain entrance into a secret academy. This is where the fun starts and you meet your second main character. The show is about the two main characters love, and is mostly cliché japans anime where the guy is weak and can never make up his mind. What makes the show is the monsters and the situations, and the laughter you will have watching it, plus the fan service. There is a lot of fan service, and this anime is not intended for children. There is no nudity (From what I saw in the fan dubs), but nevertheless not for children.Todd Haberkorn plays your main character, and he has done decent voice work before in anime such as "One Piece", "Full Metal Alchemist", and from where I know him the most "Claymore" he does a good job at getting the emotions of the character across to the audience.The color is good on the DVDs not to much background issues. The transfers are well done. No problems with picture. Sound is well done as well, The 5.1 sound, sounds better than most anime so no complaints.At times the characters voices can be annoying, but nothing to write home about. The dub for this anime is well done, and worth watching. If you do not like dubs, the subtitles are there and from what I have seen match up well to the fan dubs.This is a good box set, nothing special about the cases are art book, but if you have been waiting to own the anime like I have than it's about time Funimation did this and it's worth owning.

looking at past reviewers - i would have to agree with many of their opinions. I preordered this and season two at the same time (though why did they release at the same time is a mystery to me) and was happy when I got it. No damage and season two fits right into the box keeping them together. but now to the reviewTskune is your average middle row joe. but when the only school that would accept him is Yokai academy (which his father found an application on the street) is a dream come true. But when it is discovered he is the only human in a school full of monsters, we really has to watch his back. But the good part he has some good friends to help him out, a vampire, a succubus, a snow fairy, and a under age witchling with a dream of a threesome. The bad part is that all the other guys are jeaolus of him and girls fight over him, and Moka the vampire just seems to not resist sucking him dry. Add that Mokas other side is a complete opposite of her and the teachers are all scary leads to a lot of misadventures.The anime is more moe driven than the manga, with panty shots and near nudity but most of the key elements are there, Kurumu keeps smothering the hero with her large bosom, Mizore is the silent stalker, and Yuki keeps trying to get in the middle. Some things they should not have used is using the chibi bat to give the fight times and also cutting certain things out, or postponing them until later (in the manga moka started giving Tskune blood during the Mizore episode with the gym teacher), someone siad the fights were one sided, but given that vampires are near the top of the power charts it is only expected, and also moka does not start running into trouble until later in the mangas anyway when the fights get more serious (the disciple squad leader for one and Ruby's mentor). But using the bat as the monster id'er was good (better than a chart explaining what they are). Overall the series was good, and i am getting into season two so I will see how they changed this one.

This was the first anime I ever watched and I fell in love with it instantly. It is hard to believe the difference between American and Japanese animations and videos. When an American studio tries to do something that is meant to entertain young males, it ends up as garbage. The Japanese on the other hand, do it extremely well, it is entertaining, provides a lot of "fan service" and yet still manages to have a good and solid plot line.I would recommend this product to any anime fan who enjoys the "Fan service" aspect of some the the anime series out there as this is the most enjoyable one I have found. Without this series, I never would have really gotten into the habit of watching anime.

Rosario+Vampire is an anime series based on a monster theme. This is its strongest driving point. Mixed with romance, comedy and some action it's hard not to like this and you have to have an interst in vampires with perversion. The voice acting is top notch for english. this dvd box set contains 13 episodes which is apparantly only season one of the series. the video output is very high quality considering it's not a blu-ray disc, I say this because I played it on a PS3 which is designed to play blu-ray but Rosario+Vampire is so well formatted on its discs to the maximum regular dvd format. This a fresh new idea for anime and should be tried if you love girls and monsters.

My wife and I loved this series. i would recommend it to anyone! its like a classic anime with a modern twist. enough fan service to make anyone happy.

Great series cant wait to see what's next cant put the books down, very addicting looking to get more through seller

This is a really awesome Anime to check out but it is suitable for 17 and older if there are first time anime lovers out therehas alot of Ecchi moments in it
