There are 4 episodes on each of these discs!
The review for this will be at the end of all the
episodes, as I can't find any for the separate
ones! Also at the end are the credits!
EXCEL SAGA V. 1
EPISODE 1: KOSHI RIDKO ASSASSINATION PLOT(1999)
if the rest of the episodes are like this, I'm
not going to be rating this very high!!!
In this first episode we meet Excel, who is
in cahoots with IIlpalazo, in an organization
called ACROSS, who's main goal is to take over
the world to make it better for all!! To do this
it appears that they must kill just about everyone!
Also here is three dudes who are apparently only
here for comic relief! And then there's Menchi,
a dog who seems to be not only Excel's pet,
but expectant dinner!!! C
EPISODE 2: THE WOMAN FROM MARS(1999)
of a bunch of different Japanese entertainment
(TV, movies, music ect!!) The problem here is
if you don't know any of these being parodied,
the whole show is meaningless!!
And now we have the introduction of Hyatt, who
as the title indicates, came from outer space!
This one parodies sci-fi shows! C
EPISODE 3: THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB OF THE
VENOMOUS GREAT ESCAPE OF HELL(1999)

A review from IMDb.com:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! I love
it!!!!! Satire for the anime freak. And as comedy
in a broader aspect, it Rocks! I love the characters,
especially Nabeshin(Whats your hobby? The afro...)
and Illpalazzo(evil overlord with a good intent!).
They all crack me up! And I never get tiered of
them. But for safety reasons i only watch 1 episode
a day, otherwist I suspect my brain would melt
from the Crasy wierdness that is EXCEL SAGA.
Puchuuu?..
Have now watched all 26 ep. And I have to say
that the only bad thing about this anime is that
it ended. The music is chatchy, and the characters
realy grew on me, I love them *^_^*. I raised the
points for animation as I realised for the style
and form it is trying to put thru, its just excelent
...(pun) Average 10(10) - Fangor
