This is a review for the AV version. Video 4.5/5: Skips once or twice, but could just be my player. Overall, video was good. Audio 5/5: No problems here, everything sounds fine. Subtitles 3.5/5: Understandable, but ALOT of grammatical errors. Not as bad as Engrish or FOB English, but coulda been better. Content: Good recap of the 1st series, but not having seen the original 1st Stage I'm still a little confused about some points. VERY general overview of series, and nothing gets explored too much. Having seen bits and pieces of 1st Stage and all of 2nd Stage, I recommend getting Integral only if you're a collector of Vandread episodes. edited by rob_sf on 31 Jul 2002 7:52 pm

I picked this up cheap as some of FX's titles are clearanced right now. Perfect Audio, Video, and Subs (something the first season lacked, good to finally watch an understandable version of the first season heh.) Another cool thing is this release has a nice reversible cover! FX Cases are the best. Overall a good release, but unless you really into Vandread or you just like to have EVERY single thing from a series (like I do), then you should pass on this one. Its a good re-telling of the first season though.
