Excel Saga. If you think about it, Excel Saga would probably belong in the spam section in an Anime DVD store, and that's why i love the show so much.

Anybody who enjoys insane main characters, constant death, crazy gags, hot female robots, pointless side plots and the fact that no main plot really started until the final 5 episodes will have loved this anime. And yes, we can talk about that final episode. What was it again?

"Going too Far!?"

Yeah, it did go too far. The episode was 1 minute longer then it was supposed to be...oh, and the violence and nudity if were going on about the serious issues.

Excel Saga is great. I actually have the whole series on DVD. It had everything. I loved the hot Excel and Roppanmatsu yuri action. If you want a plot, read the manga versoin it has some of that there.

That's the problem. I want the manga so bad...but there are no manga stores in my whole area! It's some sort of ACROSS conspiracy!

Parents won't let me shop online.

Another conspiracy...that will end soon. Hopefully.

What did you think of "going too far"?

i dont think Excel Saga went too far. But thats probably because I've seen a lot of anime and that level of nudity/violence is not that big a deal

I see. I guess Hentai take it too far nudity wise, and Violence...wait, nothings wrong with violence!

I liked the first half of the episode with all the violence. The love hotel thing was quite weird. But that translator got what she deserved in the ending theme.

Also, another thing came into my head. Excel Saga has one of the best OP's ever!

I might as well be in charge of everything Excel related. The review of it was done by me, and i might as well do the character pages. ^_^

Yeah, i bought Volume 1 and 2 of Excel Saga! Volume two was espeically kickass with Matsuya's entrance.

What volume does Elgala come in? I think it's Volume 9, but i might be completely wrong.

I love the randomness! It is one of the funniest anime I've ever seen as well. I've seen the manga in stores near me but haven't checked it out yet.

I honestly hated this series. I didin`t laugh for any joke, not even smiled.
This is the only "unwatcheable" series for me.

i'd worship the production team to;

1. re-make Excel Saga
2. a second season covering the ongoing manga

Excel Saga is like GOD of all comedy anime<3 taking over the world, ACROSS style<3

It's weird so far...so there is a lot of nudity? When does that all happen?

It was probably the wackiest show I've seen so far. Really funny, but not sure it gets a place among my top 3 comedies (with Seto no Hanayome being first, Hayate no Gotoku second.. and..)..well, maybe it gets 3rd place, but I'll have to think about that.

I watched the dubbed version because I love the added pointless swearing, but sometimes I only got half of what Excel said because of the jabber, so I had to rewatch those scenes. Still, a pretty decent dub.

As for Going too far, I don't think they went too far. Or too much further. Blood, gore, violence and even pedophilia was already themes from the show. They only pumped up the levels a bit and added some nudity. No big deal.

Because the second half got sometimes a bit dragged and lost its..randomness a bit, plus because of the review episodes, I'll give it 8/10.

I don't know if anyone in charge can see this, but there's a mistake in the main page. Excel Saga is Seinen and not Shounen.

It's the only anime I've seen that I rated a 1. It isn't funny and tries too hard in general. I wish I could get back the 20 dollars I spent on the first 3 episodes.
