Title: you have to be a fan of Japanese anime
Product review: Both films are lame. They're supposed to be. This DVD has two films that are meant to take Japanese anime into real world / real people level, and in the process still keep the feel of Japanese anime intact. If you understand that, you will enjoy the DVD. If you don't like Japanese anime, you should avoid paying full price and get it used. I'm not sure about Makiriko, but Battler Sienne Matra is worth watching - even if it does look like it was made in somebody's garage and back yard. Very low budget, Z-movie films, few people involved, and heads up, the language is in Japanese with English subtitles. The first film would likely be rated PG, the second film would be rated R. There is violence, partial nudity, and unless you speak Japanese the subtitles don't have any vulgar language. Not meant for viewing by the non-Japanese anime initiated, and nearly anybody else will wish they skipped this.
