Great Fun The whole Roughnecks series is finally available! The episodes contained on the "Trackers" DVD finish the set, although it should be noted that viewing them in the original broadcast order will be a bit tricky. (Those interested in doing so are advised to do a bit of Googling.)
Trackers The Best Anime I have seen. Wonder why they stopped making anymore series. I hope they make these more.
exploits the success of the others Unfortunately this disk is just one short espisode between the ones previously covered by other roughneck DVDs. Unless ofcourse my DVD is faulty and is only showing the first episode of many (I hope this is the case, and its not just producer greed). The specials show additional footage that was not shown previously. If the company that is producing this fabulous story is testing the waters before producing another episode. Ummm. Just do it! Cheap work ups like this turn off fans, not inspire them. I wanna buy more Roughneck episodes. One more cheap shot like this and you can kiss all my future $$$$ goodbye.
Disappointing Filler The Roughnecks series is, in general, a very high-quality production. Trackers is disappointing not only because the disc contains only a single new episode, but even more so because the production quality of this episode is not nearly as high as it has been for all previously released campaigns/episodes.
I enjoyed watching the episode as a filler episode to fill us in on what happened in between the Klendathu and Homefront campaigns. But the animation is simply not up to standard I've come to love and expect from the Roughnecks series.
I sincerely hope that, whenever Sony finally gets around to having the final episode finished and released, it will be of much higher quality than the Trackers episode. It has been a while since the Roughnecks series was first produced and aired, and with advances in computing power it is reasonable to expect the final episode to look at least as good as the episodes that have been released previously.
to short for what i paid I paid for a full lenght dvd this was like a mini dvd. can i get my money back
