H2O: Just Add Water - The Complete Series



Almost better on DVD than on TV
If I'm not mistaken H2O first came to TeenNick in 2008, I've watched every episode and collected the Australian DVD sets for each season. It must've done very well in the ratings game despite a sometimes hit & miss broadcast schedule because I'm pretty sure nothing else by Jonathan Shiff has ever made it to NTSC format DVD, not even Ocean Girl. The individual episodes are well written and fun to watch, generally better than American "teen" television.

I've just made a quick run through for picture quality and DVD content and was pretty well satisfied. The picture is very clear with good color- actually better than my satellite TV reception ever was. If you need/want captioning (Nick's broadcast had it), you're out of luck, the set doesn't have it

The DVD menu may be better than on the Australian DVDs but I'm just a little bit unhappy with the selection of extras with this package. Also, while nothing is missing as to content, the Australian editions divided each...

Love this show!!!!
love this show since i saw it on teen nick i am really happy to be able to watch all the episodes finally. i would recommend this show to everyone.

A great choice for family viewing
This Australian-made TV series aimed at teens and `tweens has turned into a worldwide phenomenon, and I can see why. The plots may be as straightforward as you'd expect from a 30-minute comedy-drama, character development is basically a composite profile gained from spending time with these people week after week, and crises tend to be resolved fairly quickly. But there's an addictive quality to H2O: Just Add Water that's hard to pinpoint. When one episode ends, everyone wants to watch another right away. Partly it's because you want to spend time with the characters, but partly it's the narrative arc.

These are not stand-alone episodes, but rather a continuing storyline about three Gold Coast teens who end up transformed by an event at Mako Island, so that every time water touches any part of their skin they change into mermaids. It sounds gimmicky, but the mermaid angle really adds a fun level to an otherwise typical teen and family comedy-drama. In this series, as in...

RVBX: Ten Years of Red Vs. Blue Box Set



lost husband
I bought this for my husband as he is a huge fan since the begining. it was an aniversery gift. I watched some of it with him and saw why he was so hooked on it. it is very cleaver and well done. my only problem lies in the fact that I have not seen my husband for 3 days except when he is hungry as he is unable to resist watching the whole series. to any other fans of red Vs blue. this is well worth buying. very good quality and lots of little extras.

Great for people who haven't bought any of the DVDs yet!
While people who have many of the Red vs. Blue DVDs may not be enticed into dropping money on the Blu-Ray version, for someone who doesn't have any of them yet, being able to get them all in one box set is a great opportunity. The content is great regardless of what format you watch it in, but if you have the extra cash, you might as well get the best quality available for one of the best shows out there.

Everything you want and more!
This award winning show comes packed with award winning supplemental material. A true fan of RoosterTeeth and RvB, like myself, will absolutely love it. Gorgeous HD episodes and tons of bonus material make this a great buy.

Red vs. Blue Season 10 Blu-Ray



The greatest season as of yet
This season was the most enjoyable for me, especially the ending. It might not have the same amount of laughs as the earlier seasons have had, but the new animation and action scenes coupled with the emotional journeys of the characters make this a more well-rounded story with a bigger pay-off.

The previous season didn't sit well with me primarily because the main characters whom we have come to love over the years, were not funny for the most part. *MINOR SPOILER* They were just parodies of themselves inside the Epsilon unit, but still their comedy was way off. However, season 9's action taking place in the past was what really made the story interesting, and it is that same action that carries forward into season 10. Thankfully, the present day plot has resumed being funny as well.

Another great return for the season is the music of Trocadero. They were the ones who originally made the music for Red Vs Blue but recently had been replaced with Jeff Williams and...

Better to get it from the Roosterteeth.com
I purchased this from Amazon because I have prime with free shipping. This was a mistake. In this version of the Blu-ray, you get the movie, outtakes and commentary. If you get it from the store at Roosterteeth.com, you get a second disk packed with special features. Don't get me wrong, this season is fantastic, but if you are like me and like to watch the behind the scenes and other special features, get it from Roosterteeth.com You might have to spend a little more, but it is worth it, and all the proceeds go to supporting Roosterteeth.

One of the best sci fi/comedy/action movies ever
The season is great with its amazing story line and characters,it's stunning visual effects,and its hilarious jokes that flow out of funny conversations,it leaves it's mark as a great season.even elijah wood is in it!if you want to laugh and be thrilled then you need to see this.it's Roosterteeth's(the creators)best season ever.of all time.

Digimon Adventure: Volume 1



The good o'll days
Bought it for keepsakes and memories. definitely a youth's movie but I still love it! quality isn't as good as my memories recalled but what did I know about HD back then?

Digimon season 1
My son did an old puzzle at school and it was Digimon, he was very interested and wanted to watch it. I had a real hard time finding any episodes. There were none on Netflix but we finally found some on amazon but they were $2 an episode! Well he was hooked so I started researching a bit more and found this set, which saved me a ton of money! He has been nothing but thrilled with the set of season 1 and even uses the guide book that comes along with it! The one small downside was the case is a bit flimsy and came with a break and now only after a week the inside has broken. It still holds all the DVDs though!

Love this show
I love this show and its so great to have on DVD. My only wish was that it had the Japanese language version as an option.
