    I'm so angry that I can spit 10 penney nails 300 yards. 3 1/2 weks ago, I sent you a notice the DVD (Robobt stiries). In that notice I reported that the the dvd "Robot Stories was broken. Then , I emailed you of the discrepency. Yesterday I received the same broken DVD Robot Stories that I told you and sent back. Now, what is your reaction to what I said above?

    This is a low budget anthology containing for four short stories by what appears to be a sophomore filmmaker. Placing this title in the Sci-fi genre is a bit of a stretch since the production looks too budget constrained to escape the familiarity of a modern day environment. The production values are slightly below that of an after school special. It's difficult to guess who this title would appeal to since the writing is too simple for an adult audience and too boring to keep the attention of younger viewers. All dialogue is in English. The audio is output in stereo. As for extras, there's a trailer for the film, a "Mouse" short story (10:52 min), eight "Deleted Scenes", eleven "Audio Commentaries" and a "Stills Gallery". Not recommended.

    Even if tyou are a fan of Japanese culture and sci-fi, you'll want to avoid this one. This is a low budget, mildly amusing waste of time. You'd be better off drawing a robot on a piece of paper and flushing it down the toilet.
