I was so happy that Warner Brothers finally announced the release of this series that I so loved when it originally aired on ABC in 1991-92. I believe the Pirates of Dark Water was Hanna-Barbera's last original animation property. But even if it's not, this series is IMHO one of the best original concepts ever produced in animation. It draws from history's seafaring adventures, yet creates a unique concept with Dark Water and greatly combines action, comedy, drama, and sword and sorcery.

My only complaint about the release is that the DVD production is really 'bare bones'. That is, there are no special features about the series such as featurettes, subtitles for the hearing impaired, or cast/crew commentary. Then again, this was released as a part of the WB's manufacture on demand (MOD) program, so I wasn't necessarily expecting such content. Still, I would suggest that for future such productions, the chapter selections be modified so that one can skip the opening credits and improve the chapter selections of individual episodes.

Overall, I'm pleased with this release and I look forward to other releases from the WB MOD program. I think this program is a good answer in today's DVD retailer market as it minimizes the difficulty in finding said releases at commercial retailers. Instead, it comes directly from the studio.

The show is great. Just like I remember it. They don't make shows like this anymore. It's so original, even down to the "curse words" (they're aren't real curse words in it, but they say made up things...so don't worry it's totally kid age appropriate as long as you don't mind some mild cartoon violence). I watch it, and it still leaves me with a sense of wonder. Why don't they make cartoons like this anymore?!

I just wished they finished it. The show never comes to any sort of conclusion, in case you know nothing about the show just be aware of that fact.

The quality is not great though. If you're looking for any re-mastering, this product is not for you. This looks like a complete copy of a decent VHS. Though I ran into a few rather rough patches as well, but they were short. Also I was having problems playing it on some of my DVD players, since it is actually a DVD-R.

So get it for the story, not for the quality. If you are a fan of 80s cartoons and fantasy then you'll probably like this.

Comments about Pirates of Dark Water: The Complete Series (4 DVD Set):

I've always been a fan of this show ever since it was on the air when I was in elementary school. It's just the kind of story and characters you can't forget. This is fantasy and world-building at its best, and the originality of the linguistics and denizens of the populace is top-notch writing. The only bad thing about this show is that it was never completed. The story is left wholly unfinished.

Comments about Pirates of Dark Water: The Complete Series (4 DVD Set):

I remember seeing this on tv when I was young. I wish they would show it on Boomerang. Maybe they could finish the series. The show it meant for younger veiwers because of all the cliches and stereotypes. Still pretty good to watch. I bought it for myself.

Comments about Pirates of Dark Water: The Complete Series (4 DVD Set):

I absolutely LOVED this show as a kid, along with many other shows as well. I even had some of the action figures, too! It was a pretty cool story for a little kid also. This isn't my best review ever, but the series is definitely worth watching in my opinion! Check it out for yourself if you are curious, I'm sure you will NOT be disappointed.

Comments about Pirates of Dark Water: The Complete Series (4 DVD Set):

If you loved the series as a kids it is great to see Wren and the crew searching for the 13 treasure of Rule, again. This show is as unique and cheesy as all the cartoons of the time. So, if you miss that nostalgic cheese and want to share a colorful series with great moral lessons, embedded in the treasure hunting and dynamics between the characters. Look no further, set sail and buy The Pirates of Dark Water.
