DVD R1 rips for sure.

Both English and Japanese tracks are flawless.

A nice, cheap set. Makes the perfect addition to anyone's collection.

The picture quality appeared to be DVD. The audio was great in both english and Japanesse. The songs and next episode were also available in English. The subs had perfect timing an none of the problems typically assosiated with translations. The extras were also nice (story boards, cast bios, etc...). Every episode had intro songs, ending songs, and next episode story lines. I also appreciated having 9 dvds on one disc (it is nice not to have to change DVDs every 2 or 3 episodes). If you are a Tenchi fan, you will have no concerns over this flawless set.

This looks to be a direct R1 rip. The credits are in English instead of Japanese. And there is the English Dub as well as part of it. This set is pretty good, but suffers from some over compression here and there. Video - 3/5 The Video in this release is pretty compressed. There are motion blocks on high motion scenes. However, on low motion scenes, the video is very crisp and clear. There is little breakup on those scenes. The macroblocks are only really apparent on a computer monitor, on a TV, the video looks really good as well. The video overall is very colorful (which is a good thing in this series, since the animation is beautiful). Audio - 4/5 The audio is there, and pretty good sounding. The Dub is one of the few that I actually liked, and can stand watching, however, the japanese track is kinda annoying that there is a low hum in the back ground. But not too be too concerned (actually took me a while to hear it, and I listen to it pretty koud), it's just there, but doesn't really get in the way. Subs - 5/5 The Subtitles are perfect and dead on. As I said before this is a R1 rip so the subs to seem to be on par with the R1 dvds in terms of readability. So far I haven't seen any mistimings, and I only saw one instance with missing subs (an intro on episode 10 I believe), and that was the only case where that happened, and in those cases you can switch to Dub. Overall this set is pretty good in that it has some really good quality subs, audio and the video isn't all that bad at all. edited by kakomu on 08 Jun 2002 11:14 am
