DVD Verdict reviews: GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX (VOLUME 3) and more!

Today, DVD Verdict posted reviews of AURA BATTLER DUNBINE: VOLUMES 5 TO
10, CYBUSTER: TOKYO 2040 (VOLUME 1), and GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE
COMPLEX (VOLUME 3):


AURA BATTLER DUNBINE: VOLUMES 5 TO 10 (reviewed by Sandra Dozier,
overall score 80/100):
"The massive cast of characters, the seemingly endless reach of the
story, and the uneven pace (sometimes intense and fast-paced, sometimes
slow and excruciating), poses the biggest challenge for the viewer --
the audience is constantly warring between a desire to sit back and
enjoy the action or actually follow the plot and learn who everyone
is...the story is often too dense to do both effectively. This is a
series that reinvents itself every five episodes or so, throwing a new
kink into the works to shake things up."

CYBUSTER: TOKYO 2040 (VOLUME 1) (reviewed by Mitchell Hattaway, overall
score 50/100):
"Other than some of the environmental aspects, this series is pretty
much old news."

GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX (VOLUME 3) (reviewed by Rob
Lineberger, overall score 84/100):
"Ghost in the Shell -- Stand Alone Complex is an impressive series for
its sophisticated integration of first-rate animation, tightly knit
stories, and engaging conceptual themes. It would be unrealistic to
expect the creative team to maintain that fine balance without a lapse."
