Now since the Fullmetal Alchemist Box Set 1 is out...

I hope they get their shit together soon because I've been hoping that they would release a good first set for Kodocha since I keep hearing people praise it.

MI and MAC version of Kodocha are very good. They used r2 video and fansub for the most part. Besides, R1 version of Kodocha are edited. Especially the early episodes are dumbed down. On top of that, it's missing the first opening song (replaced by second opening), preview and some other parts.
