Invader Zim Complete Invasion (3 vol. set)

Well, I was just looking after the first season, and I seen the all the episodes, only 10 !
This is amazing, very funny cartoon. Excellent state, for sure u won't see another price like it !

Invader Zim perhaps appeals to an obscure taste. Certainly as I watched this my flatmates were divided in to love, hate and confused indifference. But if you're a fan of the absurd and surreal you can't hope to find a better show.

The humour of Zim can best be compared to the silliness of Monty Python, the Goons or the Goodies but its stories are filled with a nihilistic contempt for modern life. As such quoting lines probably won't convince you that this show had me nearly crying with laughter.

Having all three seasons works against this set as it includes the half dozen or so episodes that don't quite hit the mark but over all the genius of the other episodes shines through.

This is the single best animated TV show ever made by underpaid animators! I mean, come on! Who doesn't love to break out and sing the "Doom Song" every now and then! I kind of feel a bit weird being the only person in my school that has ever watched this show, aside from only about 4 of my friends, but I still love it! I was just devastated when they took it off Nickelodeon but I was overjoyed when my family got Comcast Digital Cable so I could watch it on "Nicktoons Network!" at 1:00 AM-2:00 AM! w00t! Ever since they stopped showing it on that channel, I found this. I just can't wait to get it! The randomness comes at .[...]rofl!!1!

invader zim has to be one of my favourite shows. it's one of those things that has an almost cultish effect on people, well the people who get into it anyways. there are so many awesome quotes in this show... like classic, change you're life-funny quotes. my and my brother sometimes have zim quote battles and see who can come up with the most quotes. and we say them to each other in everyday conversation, or even if we aren't talking, a quote from zim will break the silence. it's like this when i find other people into zim too. when i find out they love it too i'll say a quote and they'll say one back to me... it's like finding a long lost sibling, i love it.

the show itself seems like it's going to be slow-paced when you start watching it, and i guess it can be a bit. it also has a kind of dark atmosphere, so it is to be watched in moderation. i wouldn't recommend watching a whole season in one go unless you're in the mood for it. if you watch too much at once the atmosphere will get to you a bit and the pacing can be depressing, which is an odd contrast to the comedic aspect of the show.

the characters are amazing. zim is set up as an idiot, an outcast, and really bad at what he was meant to do, but i don't think he is the failure we would think he is. zim reminds me of how geniuses are thought to be crazy be those around them and only later are they appreciated. zim is not a genius, but i do think that he's under estimated by everyone on the show. he is successful if some of what he sets out to do, but he's like the coyote from the roadrunner show, he's just got bad luck. dib is most relatable because he is the second main character of the show and we get to see his personality the most of all the characters. even though zim is the main character we don't really relate to him and get inside his head but almost see him through the eyes of someone else. in the shows focusing on dib, maybe because he complains out loud a lot or because he's always searching for something, but it feels more like we are going on the adventure with dib rather than watching from a distance like with zim. dib is also unappreciated by the other characters, but like zim he's actually really smart and not crazy at all, though with dib it's easier to see this than with zim because people think dib is crazy for thinking zim is an alien, and we know that zim is an alien, so we're united by the truth i guess. gaz is a great character and i wish there were more episodes focused on her. she's really irritable, but she's not like any other person on the show in that she has this inner strength, which sets her apart as the odd one out. an example of this would be the episode where pustulio was hypnotizing everyone, but it didn't get gaz because she didn't give it the time of day. and she is shown in this way in a lot of episodes. i guess the fact that the show's focus isn't really on her, even though she is one of the main characters is almost an example of her character. her reluctance to engage in anything makes her a really interesting, and though we'd like to see more of her, maybe the fact that we can't is evidence of her personality. and of course there's gir... little need be said of gir other than the fact that gir is awesome. if there was no gir the show wouldn't be what it is and a lot of the comedy is because of gir, not all, but a lot. unlike the other characters, it seems gir's only purpose is for comedic effect. gir lightens the dark atmosphere of the show.

invader zim is like metal (the music) in that it has a core of die hard fans, but the rest of the world kind of does really know about it. it's a hugely funny show. the comedy is kind of dry and satirical, and slightly over the top and... awesome. just awesome. i recommend it.

Invader Zim-Complete Invasion

This is a wonderful 6-disk set with every single Invader Zim Episode on it. This set includes Invader ZIM - Doom Doom Doom (Vol. 1), Invader ZIM - Progressive Stupidity (Vol. 2), and Invader ZIM - Horrible Holiday Cheer (Vol. 3). That's 27 episodes in all. This is an amazing off considering the price of these DVDs if bought separately.

Invader Zim is a dark, disturbing cartoon that looks like someone made it that was insane (but in a good way). The basis of the story is that an alien, Zim, from planet Irk is sent to a mysterious planet on what he thinks is a mission to conquer it. His leaders, The Almighty Tallest, only sent him away to be rid of him for a while. Zim and his robot servant, GIR, just so happen to land on Earth. Sadly, Zim is unequipped to handle the challenges that await him on Earth. To make matters worse for Zim, a child with a huge head named Dib sets out to stop Zim at all costs.

All the episodes are full of laughs and ridiculous screaming. GIR is the funniest character due to his complete randomness and idiotic nature. Some episodes are more based on Dib or Gaz, Dib's Sister, than on Zim, but they are still very well done.

My only complaint with the series is that the episode they used to close out the series, The Most Horrible X-mas Ever, was completely stupid. It introduced a new character named Mini-Moose for no reason at all. The episode itself isn't funny at all compared to other episodes in this box set. Invader Zim went out with a whimper and no closure whatsoever.

If you are into wacky cartoons or like Invader Zim already, you owe it to yourself to pick this up.
