1. Again, this is an anime classic that you should not miss



2. The biggest problem veiwers of the first Project A-ko might have with this one-at least, those who watch dubbed anime-is that the entire vocal cast is different. However, the english voice actors here do a fine job; particularly Ranma 1/2's Venus Terzo as B-ko. The plot: the story is set in the fictional city of Graviton, in the early 21st. century. In this city lives A-ko, young high school co-ed who is an ordinary girl who happens to possess super human strength. Her rival is B-ko, a spoiled rich girl who is a genius and has both the intelligence and the recorces to build mecha (giant robots) with which to battle A-ko with before school every day. The object of A-ko and B-ko's rivalry is C-ko, a whiny crybaby who is A-ko's best friend and who, unbeknownst to everyone, including C-ko, is really an alien princess whose ship crash landed on earth several years ago when C-ko was an infant. Now C-ko as grown up on earth, and B-ko thinks that if she can beat A-ko in combat, C-ko will be her friend. In the first Project A-ko video, an all female alien race came to earth in search of thier lost princess. A battle insued, and the alien's ship eventually crashed on earth. Now, in this video, the aliens have made peace with the humans and have turned thier ship into a resort. Now summer vacation has come, and the aliens are asking for A-ko and B-ko's help to make thier ship space ready again so they can go home. However, B-ko's father plans to use his daughter's ultimate anti-A-ko robot to capture the alien ship in a joint plot with the military. There is loads of comedy to be found here, but, again, it's never quite as good as part one. Still highly recommended, however!



3. The original Project A-ko contained several levels of plot: the grudge between A-ko and B-ko, Earth Defense Force's ineptitude, Lost Princess/Alien Invasion, making fun of other Anime. Plot's major failing is that it has only two plots, neither of them very well thought out. At least there's some semblance of continuity, and A-ko and B-ko do fight each other. Other than that, it's hardly a Project A-ko movie.

1. Informative and witty, it's narration keeps the viewer captured throughout the program. Fun to watch and conveys the message. Definitely not a sleeper!



2. Fast-paced, commonsense, uncomplicated guide to organizing the way you should think about and act with your investment dollars. This is a great introduction to the world of personal finance for young adults and the not so young. I wish I had it 10 years ago.

1. As a financial professional, those videos are big disappointment to me. It didn¡¯t offer any insightful ideas, but instead that contents offered in the videos are comment knowledge in term finance. I wouldn¡¯t recommend this video to anyone who has finance background.



2. While this series does contain some informative interviews with some very interesting people (Foster Friess, John Neff, Peter Bernstein, and others), the whole thing feels like a late night infomercial. The hosts Andrew Tobias and Jane Bryant Quinn are annoying, and frankly come across as morons. In one episode, we learn that 80% of mutual funds don't beat the market average, (any Motley Fool knows that) yet Jane tells us later she is a mutual fund investor. Then Andrew quips that she's really investing her husbands money. In another episode we learn that bonds can be as risky (or riskier) than stocks, and that it's a myth that they are safer than stocks. Later our hosts advise us that we should diversify into bonds to lower our risk. The hosts don't cut through the confusion to make concepts easier to understand, they add to the chaos and come across as confused themselves. As for the series usefulness, it's not a bad introduction to general investment concepts but certainly won't give you many new insights, or teach you how to invest. It's just a very general overview of different types of investing strategies, and a shallow introduction to various concepts (how bonds work, emerging markets, black box investing) Unfortunatley, it doesn't really teach you much "art" at all, and doesn't match up to the usual PBS quality I've come to expect. If you've already done your homework on investment terminology and basics, you may find some parts useful. Seasoned investors may enjoy seeing interviews with the superstars of the financial world that you normally only read about. For the new investor, start somewhere else.



3. I disagree with the viewer who wrote that Jane and I are morons, but do agree with him that, at least for most people interested in investing, this is 8 hours worth watching (I found the investors we interviewed fascinating) but not ordinarily worth spending a hundred bucks to own.
