Humanity has colonized Mars, and the tension between the resource-rich Martian colonies and the militarized authority of Earth's United Nations has been building toward open conflict for years. James Links is not a player in any of this. He is forty-nine years old, a freelance space cargo hauler running routes between Earth and Mars, estranged from his adult children Leon and Noel, and not entirely over the disappearance of his wife Rachel — a scientist who vanished years ago under circumstances nobody will explain to him. His plan for the immediate future involves delivering a shipment, collecting his fee, and going home. This plan is ruined when he discovers that one of his cargo containers holds Dolores: an Orbital Frame — a massive, highly advanced AI-controlled mecha powered by the rare mineral Metatron — whose autonomous intelligence manifests as a cheerful, chatty young woman who immediately decides that James is her uncle and refuses to let him leave without her. Moments later, two UN inspectors aboard his ship are dead and James is the only suspect. His children, guilty by association, are now also wanted. With the authorities of two worlds hunting his family and Dolores apparently holding a key to the whereabouts of Rachel, James Links — space trucker, reluctant fugitive, deeply underprepared hero — sets course for Mars. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZ.O.E. Dolores, I is a 26-episode mecha television series produced by Sunrise and set in the \u003cstrong\u003euniverse of Konami's Zone of the Enders PlayStation 2 franchise\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is one of the more unusual entries in the early 2000s mecha genre: its protagonist is a middle-aged civilian man rather than a talented teenager, its tone oscillates freely between domestic comedy and genuinely dark political drama, and its central relationship — between the lumbering, overwhelmed James and the innocent, intensely loyal Dolores — gives the series an emotional core that separates it from its contemporaries. The series was directed by Tetsuya Watanabe and features mechanical designs drawn from Shoji Kawamori's original game Orbital Frame concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in North America by ADV Films across seven DVD volumes; a complete collection was also released by ADV Films as a single boxset. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Tetsuya Watanabe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Shin Yoshida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal Franchise Creator:\u003c\/b\u003e Hideo Kojima (Zone of the Enders, Metal Gear Solid)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMechanical Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Shoji Kawamori (Arjuna, Macross, Escaflowne)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStudio:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunrise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMusic:\u003c\/b\u003e Hikaru Nanase \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJapanese Cast:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Tessho Genda as James Links (Gate Keepers, Getter Robo Armageddon)\u003cbr\u003e• Houko Kuwashima as Dolores \/ Isis (Gate Keepers 21, Ceres Celestial Legend, SoulTaker)\u003cbr\u003e• Narumi Hidaka as Rachel Links\u003cbr\u003e• Takehito Koyasu as Napth Pleminger (Slayers, Escaflowne, Gate Keepers)\u003cbr\u003e• Tomokazu Seki as additional cast (Chobits, Arjuna, Vandread, Gate Keepers) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDVD Features\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• ADV Films Previews \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpoken Languages:\u003c\/b\u003e English \u0026amp; Japanese Audio, English Subtitles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/b\u003e ゾーン・オブ・ジ・エンダーズ ドロレス,i (Zōn obu ji Endāzu: Dororesu,i)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/b\u003e ~650 Minutes (Complete Series, 26 Episodes)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Tetsuya Watanabe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDVD Release Year:\u003c\/b\u003e 2002–2003 (U.S. Release, ADV Films)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal Broadcast Date (Japan):\u003c\/b\u003e April 7 – October 27, 2001 (Mainichi Broadcasting System)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ADV Films\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRating:\u003c\/b\u003e Unrated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Region 1 (U.S. \/ Canada)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e Mecha, Sci-Fi, Action\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThemes:\u003c\/b\u003e Space Trucker Protagonist, AI Orbital Frame, Mars vs Earth Politics, Estranged Family, Zone of the Enders Universe \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedia assumed VG+ unless otherwise noted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Owned","offers":[{"title":"V1","offer_id":42478288306261,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V2","offer_id":42478288339029,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V3","offer_id":42478288371797,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V4","offer_id":42478288404565,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V5","offer_id":42478288437333,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V6","offer_id":42478288470101,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"The Complete Collection Slim Boxset","offer_id":42478288502869,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/E03F4A2E-6A33-4FFA-A917-F073A9CDB533.jpg?v=1778526805","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/z-o-e-dolores-i-dvd","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
