Any Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon fan woul absolutely love The Tower of Druaga. The Price of some of these S.A.V.E anime bundles have mind-blowing pricing. Disks and packaging where in great shape.

The Right Blend of Fun and Fantasy
This series does something that is hard to achieve with most stories. It hits the exactly the mixture of seriousness and comedy. The story itself is a serious one - it's set in a tower created by an evil deity and filled with monsters. Every person climbing the tower has their own goals ranging from simply getting rich to making a name for themselves or even, in our hero's case, slaying Druaga himself just because its the right thing to do. The risks are real, characters come close to death and actually do die, leaving other characters to cope with the loss. On the other side of the coin though, is the humor. The story often makes fun of tropes common to fantasy games and stories with very entertaining results. Fantasy game fans will definitely appreciate the humor when the groups run across traps that have ridiculous effects or our hero has to conquer a tower within the tower with someone else controlling him like a game. However this humor does not detract from the seriousness of the story, but rather enhances the overall experience.I would strongly recommend this series to anyone, even if you aren't a fan of anime. It's a well told story with good characters that I think anyone can enjoy.

A Rip Roaring Dungeon Adventure!
While I was not surprised by the ending I must give credit to the writers for this very well done series! The opening looked too silly until you discovered just what was going on and then you realized just how well done it was! A good mix of humor, with only a couple of silly aspects, made for a very enjoyable journey. One of the best explanations for a band of dungeon adventurers and the existence of a dungeon I have ever found. Unfortunately the ending of the full series was a bit predictable.

Ya gotta love Todd...
The man of one voice and one face, in sooooooooo many series.Seriously, I wanted Sun's father( from "My Bride is a Mermaid") to pop up in this and bellow"There ya are ya maggot!!!".This is based on a series of RPG and video games, none of which I am familiar with. It works perfectlywell as a stand-alone story. You've got your mysterious Babel-like soaring-into-the-clouds tower,roamed by monsters, which has to be traversed level by level. Most of the "climbers" go in seekingtreasure, but a few seek to battle the evil god up at the very top.Todd voices the usual schmuck, roped into doing this by the usual pretty face, accompanied by aband of your usual stock characters. The story works well. The plot becomes impressively intricatefor a video-game adaptation. You've got the once-heroic king who may not be all that heroic, courtfactions, political intrigues. They certainly did a good job of creating a medieval who-is-looking-to-stick-a-dagger-in-whose-back-next atmosphere.I should note that there are a......gratuitous?....number of bath scenes. The women in the storyevidently felt a need to stay very, very, clean.

A hidden gem
Where to start? This was one of the best adventure anime I've ever seen, rankingright up there with Sword Art Online. It has a very interesting cast of characters; eachhas strengths and weaknesses, and their interactions with one another add to thestory. The English dub is also one of the best I've encountered, the cast a who's-whoof top voice actors.The story has it all: Courage and cowardice, sacrifice and betrayal, alliances that formand reform until the very end. Very little is predictable, the twists and turns of the plotfeeling a lot like a white-water river-rafting expedition.There is just enough comedy included to keep the story from getting too dark. This isalways a delicate balancing act for script-writers, but is very well done here.The story is nicely wrapped up too--you never get the impression that there needs tobe another season (or two) to finish the saga.You owe it to yourself to see this show.

Full Collection For Cheap
Honestly I was kind of impressed with how much stuff this came with for the price. It's got everything there. The entire first and second seasons, textless openings, voice actor episode commentaries, and a little bit more. If you're balling on a budget and filling out that anime collection, this is a great addition. The only real negative I can say about this is that it's got the UGLY green S.A.V.E spine cover on the box. If you're sorting your stuff by name, the sudden green can look pretty whack. But if you have a ton of S.A.V.E anime collections then you organize it that way, I guess it's not all that bad. Alternatively you could just print your own DVD cover if it bothers you that much.Overall, definitely worth.

Story is not bad, worth watching. But not exceptional. Good value though,

English Dub is so-so, but the series is excellent.
Not much else to say here. The first season ends on a cliffhanger, but fortunately this has both seasons in it. The English dub, as mentioned, is decent - most of the cast is pulled over from the Baccano team - but with dual-audio, you can take it or leave it. Series gets a little darker toward the end as they amp up the seriousness so that the ending is that much more (pardon the term) epic. Overall, excellent series, highly recommended for fantasy fiction fans.Don't compare it to Slayers, where the plot is secondary to the mindless goofing around (though Slayers is great too, don't get me wrong), it has more in common with Gurren Lagann, where the goal is the primary focus and any goofing around and sidequesting is secondary to it.

確認不足でした
設定のせいかps3や車のプレイヤーでは再生できませんでした。★−1PCの設定を変えて、指定地域の変更をしたらできましたが、結構手間でした。現状私のパソコンでしか見れないので。★−1DVDの中の支えの部分が折れていて、対応も遅かった★−1作品の内容としては、王道だな〜と思った。設定とキャラ面白いけど、シリアスと笑いがなんか中途半端なイメージ1クールから2クールに以降する展開は好きでした
