The gateway to another world appears suddenly one day and with its coming awakens two mysterious beasts of astonishing power. When the monsters appear to destroy each other, they vanish –leaving behind only the inexplicable pillar of darkness and the unanswered questions of the natural world. 12 years later, the twin children of two scientists who disappeared on the so-called Day of Conjunction go on a hazardous quest in search of their lost parents. Boarding a phantom subway, Ai and Yu travel to Wonderland, a chaotic world of amazing beauty and thrilling danger. Accompanied by Lisa, an enigmatic woman they meet on the train, and Kaze, a brooding stranger with a demon-summoning gun, the twins begin an incredible journey that will lead to the mysterious heart of Wonderland. • The entire 25 episode Final Fantasy: Unlimited series in one thin-pak boxset! • Set in the fantastical world popularized in the Final Fantasy games! • Produced by GONZO Digimation (Full Metal Panic!, Gantz, Peacemaker). • Directed by Mahiro Maeda (Second Renaissance – Animatrix, Blue Sub #6) • Epic adventure of stunning visuals and fast-paced action and lovable Chocobos

Summary: Found It
Comment: I had been looking for this disc every where. I couldn't find it on any of the more famous anime vendor websites, nor could I find it in any of my local anime stores. I can't believe that I was able to find this Disc on amazon.com. I happened upon it by chance while searching for other Final Fantasy products and now this will be the first place I look if I ever need a DVD.

Summary: Don't look for the Game Series in this series...
Comment: I understand what people have been saying about it not being what they expected. Expectations greatly influence how we perceive products to be. However, this series is incredible. Though it is sometimes cheesy, it manages to have just that right amount to make it wonderful. The music is great, and the characters hilarious. There is not much in common with the FF game series, but when you take this as a separate whole, it doesn't matter. This series is fun, entertaining, appropriate for all ages, and great, as long as you aren't expecting another "Advent Children" out of this.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Plot? What plot?
Comment: I went through about half of this series expecting it to go somewhere, and it never did. Although the animation was pretty for the first two or three times you see Kaze, nothing ever really progresses plot-wise for the first couple dozen episodes. The characters never show any development, and nothing is ever properly explained.
I wouldn't waste your money or time on this series.

Summary: SOIL! is my power!
Comment: As some one who loves Final Fantasy anything, I found this show to be quite amusing. Alhough, I grew to despise the wussiness of the two children, I found myself enthralled wih Kuro Kaze "the Black Wind." In each episode, I waited for him to use his signature Magun, and say, "It has moved," while going in to his ever quotable monolouge, which has recently inspired me to use in every possible facit, "SOIL!" Each summon he called was like a tribute to all Ifrits, Shivas, and Odins in every Final Fantasy, so in short, aside from the two lame main characters, I loved every episode. I recommend this to any one who enjoys a good "one liner."

Summary: Extremely Disappointing
Comment: Watching this series, I get the impression that the company was hoping to cash in on the huge following the Final Fantasy games enjoy. I have a hard time imagining it getting too much attention otherwise.
There was so little effort put into this anime, it felt like torture. The constant use of repeat footage drove me insane. Seeing the exact same Kaze summoning sequences over and over and over again, with slight changes in background and ammo color, just felt pathetic. This happened to a couple of other characters and it felt like you were just watching the same episode a dozen times instead of a new one. The plot was shaky and uninteresting and only a few of the characters seemed worth watching.
Add to this the lackluster script and voice work that all anime fans hate to see when a series is officiall dubbed and released and you have a pretty big mess. The two main characters sounded like they were constantly whining and the rest of the cast either wasn't acting enough or were exagerrating their character so much, it made it even worse.
What really hurt me here is that this series could have had a lot of potential. What I've seen of the game series, it really is something special. This idea could have been something good, but instead turned into a cheap attempt to cash in on someone else's work. If I were you, I'd spend my money on something else.
