Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the second in the series, if you can call it that; most episodes stand alone, and the intro to each show gives you most of the info you need to start out. It's four episodes, mostly dealing with the character of Shane Gooseman; thus the DVD title "Supertroopers". (You won't know what I'm talking about there unless you've watched it. That's ok.)
The DVD quality is very good. They kindly set it so that you can skip the little intro at the beginning if you want to, just by pressing the "next scene" button on your DVD. I like that; it's a small thing but a courtesty that means a lot to me, as I've seen some DVD sets of more recent and popular shows that were less user-friendly and made you fast-forward instead. Very inconsiderate of them. *sniff*
Again, as in my review for the other DVD, the basics: it's a space western cartoon from the late 80's early 90's timeframe. The animation is poor in the execution of movement; jerky and stilted. The dialog is not great. But the plots and general art quality are very, very well done; surprisingly sophisticated. And there are some jokes I get now that I missed then. Anyone ever seen "Blazing Saddles"? Walk this way....
All in all, I'm glad I got it and I hope they put out the rest of the episodes on DVD. I was afraid that when I watched it again as an adult I'd be disapointed, but instead I'm catching little things I missed and enjoying it in a different way.
Long, Boring Side Note: As an adolescent watching the show, I became a little confused by Shane's name. The traditional spanish name "Guzeman" is the closest regular last name in pronounciation, so I wondered if he was actually supposed to be "Shane Guzeman" and everyone was just ribbing him, as military and law enforcement people do to their teammates when you have a last name that lends itself to that. After all, a significant portion of Spanish people are blonde, if not green-eyed; and gentic engineering could explain an appearance differing significantly from the given name. But the DVD case spells it as it sounds: Gooseman, so presumeably that's what it was always intended to be. Mystery solved...
