Video : the video quality is ok, not crisp, just ok, but it's not that bad either.. just average, certainly doesn't look like your fansub digital anime , but it's watchable :) it doesn't affect your viewing of Z.O.E Audio : this is probably the best compared to video and subtitles , i'll give it a 5 star :) Subtitles: this one is not that good.. appart from some gramatical errors, they got most of the names wrong, like James Links would turn into some other complete bazzar name, Rachel Links is somethign else too Orbital Frame is turned into something else too.. almost all the names are inconsistent with the fansubs or with all the episodes "Ojisama" which is translated as Prince in the fansubs, is turned into Uncle in this dvd, however, the main storyline is still there, appart from the blatent script error, you can still catch most of the story, if you're a die hard fan of Z.O.E who's watched the first 12 episodes fansubed by spectreAnime, and am wondering what's gonna happen from 13-26, i'd recommand either you buy this dvd, or don't download any of the episodes till all the rest are out, (watch it all at once :) it'll put your heart to ease :) ) i've been waiting for fansubbers to fansub Z.O.E, but for some reason this series takes a much longer time then the rest, so either happy waiting , or take 20 bucks out of your pocket :) i bought mine :) and don't regret it :)
