Hana Yori Dango Anime TV Series and Movie

I haven't seen any reviews for this yet so I figure ill put in my two cents. I have been a fan of this series for several years now I am a big fan of the anime but haven't owned the complete series up until now. I guess Discotek license rescued this title from Viz they had previously released the show several years ago complete with dub treatment and all but when they did they never released the box set so the series was only available in singles. That version is out of print now so online mostly all you will find are second hand copies that cost more than you might want to pay. I used to own one of them they were nice but this is a much better value. This version comes with the whole series as well as the movie that I believe was never available before the episodes have not been redubbed or anything like that this is the same dub that was available on the previous release this to me is a huge plus because that is the version that I am fond of if you don't feel the same way then of course you have the option to just watch the Japanese version with subtitles. I am glad to finally own the complete series but I guess this set has short comings I like the color of the box its nice but i think its a shame that the F4 all have their back to the camera so you don't get any view of their faces at all. The set includes 7 discs and they all have disc art on them but unfortunately they all have the same picture of Tsukushi on them. The menu is very plain as well there is no character art or animation on it or anything but I mention these things only because if I recall correctly the Viz release had more character art on the discs that included the supporting characters and animation on the DVD menus. The thing that bugs me most about this release is that they overlap discs on top of another on the case this is a pet peeve of mine and it's difficult to release the discs from the case. If you plan on marathoning the series you might want to take all of the discs out and put them in sleeves or something.

I've been looking for all the versions of Boys Over Flowers/Meteor Garden and found this one. Glad it wasn't the first one as I probably wouldn't have looked for the rest as the the lead male character is not a bit likable and doesn't really redeem himself. I would worry about my daughter loving someone like that. The ending was abrupt and didn't make sense. All in all, I won't be keeping it and will go back to the 2018 Chinese Meteor Garden where they watered down Ah Si enough to be doable.

Loved the series now I own it!

i love this anime it is a older one so it is getting harder to find so i was so happy to get it

Brings the manga to life in its own way. Definitely a cute depiction. Makes one feel connected and wanting to watch the ending play out. Though, the manga is way better, has more story and greater depth.

I've been looking for this box set for a long time. Very pleased with the quality.

Loved it!

It included everything it said it would.
