VS Knights Of Lamune & 40 Fire (Seies rating: 9/10)


Years after the previous series, a new hero rises: Lamunade. He’s a video game expert who one day meets two cute girls, Parfait and Cacao, who sell him a video game. After beating it, he is transported to the DokiDoki Space, where he must stop Don Genosai from awakening an ancient evil: the dreaded Abraham. Things don’t go so well for our hero though, and he is helpless to fight. That is until an unexpected ally comes to help. It’s Da Cider, and he joins the quest to defeat Don Gonosai. But all is not what it seems. Lamunade keeps having strange flashbacks to event he should not know about. Also, the two strangers to keep helping out sound a lot like his parents.

HELL YEAH! Now this is where it’s at. I love this series. It’s got everything. Everything NG did well, VS does better. Better battles, better character development, better story, better mecha designs and most important: better jokes. You still need to know about Japanese games and stuff to get the jokes, but since this show is from the 90s, you have a better change of knowing what they’re talking about. About the story: this shit gets dark. I mean like… DARK. I’m not even sure the ending counts as a happy ending. But the ride was well worth it. What a good place to end the franchise on…

I don’t know who made the subs. I got them from a subtitle site so I don’t know who to credit. DVD remux. Though it seems this and NG are getting a SD BD in August. If the BD has better quality, I’ll be back.

  2. The BD probably will be better, no MPEG-2 shit and Justin Sevakis knows what he's doing.
