Invader ZIM - Complete Invasion [DVD]

Some people have complained that this DVD set is not a good value for the money. I would like to advise these reviewers to stop smoking crack.My justification: this DVD set contains 27 episodes, about 23 minutes long apiece. That's over 10 hours of top-notch content for sixteen bucks (not counting commentary and special features). A typical movie is two hours for the same price, if you're lucky.In "Invader Zim"'s case, the value comes in at pennies per laugh.This DVD set is money all the way; it's the entire "Invader Zim" series in a single package, and it's extremely well done. The picture is great, the sound is great, and (if you're into this sort of thing) there's a wealth of commentary and extras. It's a near-perfect production. If you like "Invader Zim", you should pick up this box set forthwith; anything less would be corporal punishment.(Plus, if you buy the "complete invasion" 3-volume set, you are getting the "uncut" Christmas episode, unlike the earlier versions of the DVDs that were sold individually, volume-by-volume.)That said, "Invader Zim" isn't for everyone. If you've never seen it before, download an episode via Amazon or iTunes and give it a gander. It's weird, dark and terrific, with layers of details that come out with repeated viewings.It's really hard to go wrong by buying this box set. It especially makes a great gift; at this price, you can buy box sets all around.

It was my mistake for not realizing it was in German, but still its very disappointing because it's the only invader zim copy i can find so I will be returning it :(

Invader Zim-Complete InvasionThis is a wonderful 6-disk set with every single Invader Zim Episode on it. This set includes Invader ZIM - Doom Doom Doom (Vol. 1), Invader ZIM - Progressive Stupidity (Vol. 2), and Invader ZIM - Horrible Holiday Cheer (Vol. 3). That's 27 episodes in all. This is an amazing off considering the price of these DVDs if bought separately.Invader Zim is a dark, disturbing cartoon that looks like someone made it that was insane (but in a good way). The basis of the story is that an alien, Zim, from planet Irk is sent to a mysterious planet on what he thinks is a mission to conquer it. His leaders, The Almighty Tallest, only sent him away to be rid of him for a while. Zim and his robot servant, GIR, just so happen to land on Earth. Sadly, Zim is unequipped to handle the challenges that await him on Earth. To make matters worse for Zim, a child with a huge head named Dib sets out to stop Zim at all costs.All the episodes are full of laughs and ridiculous screaming. GIR is the funniest character due to his complete randomness and idiotic nature. Some episodes are more based on Dib or Gaz, Dib's Sister, than on Zim, but they are still very well done.My only complaint with the series is that the episode they used to close out the series, The Most Horrible X-mas Ever, was completely stupid. It introduced a new character named Mini-Moose for no reason at all. The episode itself isn't funny at all compared to other episodes in this box set. Invader Zim went out with a whimper and no closure whatsoever.If you are into wacky cartoons or like Invader Zim already, you owe it to yourself to pick this up.

Very simply one of the best cartoons of all time. I caught a few episodes of this show while it was on the air and was addicted right away. Unfortunately they took the show away and I cried for a few years. Luckily now I found the complete series here for only $15.99 how insane is that!There are only 2 things, only 2! that I was slightly irritated at and they are not a big deal at all.1. When you pick an episode to watch and it ends it automatically goes on to the next one. Just used to shows defaulting to the episode menu.2. The "box" that holds the 3 dvd set is about as strong as kids construction paper again, used to having my sets in actual boxes.Like I said though these are just minor irritants and very easy to over look as this is a very great show and such a bargain. I only wanted to post them so others had a heads up and don't get that weird smirked look on their face when they open the box up.Anyhow buy this set because "It's not stupid it's advanced!!"****Overly protective and crazy parents, be forewarned this cartoon does have some excessive cartoon violence and depicts some odd sceans nothing that a normal person would think twice about but this message is for you, the person who won't let his 15 year old kid go to a pg-13 movie, and you the person who thinks movies like 'The Goonies' (or any other 'kids' movie made in the 80's) are too graphic for kids.... You have been warned you loonies!****
