The show supposedly centers on a guy, Sheyenne, who has his body stolen and replaced with that of a child. He's in search of his original body in a world that is a mix between a Western and a fantasy novel. Along the road, he picks up a group of wacky companions that all have major quirks, to say the least. The show seemed designed to cater to the tastes of a younger audience but I think older fans of anime may also get some laughs from this comedy.

14. Interview With An Ampire:
Mirabelle, the young vampire of the group, visits home with the team only to find her folks have set her up for an arranged marriage. The man is much older than her and seemed to be a pervert. The crew decides to trick Mirabelle's folks and let Sheyenne marry her instead and they agree after tasting his yummy blood.

15. Natural Born Angel:
The team makes a deal with a gal named Sybil to protect her from danger. If they get her home, she'll show Sheyenne where his body is. Is it worth the risk to the team and can she be trusted? The team has their share of misadventures finding out the answer to both questions. One of the team, Loretta, has special powers with her tarot cards and nearly kills Sybil herself.

16. Fatal Goddess:
A royal female appeared to be under some form of mind-control when she is in control of some aquatic creature that threatens the team, primarily the female members. Will Sheyenne come up with a solution for his thieving friends?

17. Child At Heart:
Sheyenne suffers an accident and loses his memory. He ends up in a sort of orphanage and falls into a routine where he's not challenged. Kiel, his one-eyed friend, finds him but thinks he might be happier staying where he's at. The situation deteriorates and his memory starts to come back but will he be able to conquer his demons in time?

The show wasn't great but it was kind of fun in a silly way. The stories for the individual episodes were mixed with some much better than others. The English cast wasn't as good as other anime shows I've seen lately but that might be the result of the weak scripts. The animation itself was fairly limited but worth a rating of Rent It unless you have kids who might like it more.

Picture: The picture was presented in 1.33:1 ratio full frame color. It was colorful but had some grain in the darker parts of the show. Most of the time, the anime style was fairly limited too; probably made quickly on a low budget.

Sound: The sound was presented in Dolby Digital stereo with a choice of either English or Japanese (with optional English subtitles). The Japanese vocals were the better of the two but kids will probably appreciate the dubbed track more. The music was fairly well recorded with the sole exception of the ending credit music that was loud, distorted and lame.

Extras: There were a couple of music videos; Bird=Rain & The Treasure Hunters Daughters Three, some model sheets of the characters, some trailers, a few minutes worth of bloopers, and a paper insert with the chapters listed.

Final Thoughts: I like cute, quirky anime comedies but this one seemed a bit too disjointed to me to really appreciate. It might have been that someone needs to view the earlier volumes for it to have the full impact on them but overall it was a dvd to rent first. It wasn't the worst dvd I've seen recently but anyone who claims it was especially good must have a personal reason behind that assessment.
