Disc 1 : A litttle bit of pixelation but not very noticable since it's quite short Disc 2 : Some pixelation jsut a bit more than the first disc Disc 3 : This one has some pixelation but they last a bit longer and are very noticable, due that this disc is 4 hours long.
Audio:
perfect, hear everything perfectly
Subtitle:
Disc 1 : A few lines missing of subs and a little grammar errors but that's it, very few of them Disc 2 : A few lines missing of subs and few grammar problems, like extra letters or wrong letters in some words, like instead of writting little it'S lirtle. but you can make it out very well sicne there are not often at all. Disc 3 : Starting in this disc the subs take quite a dive when it comes to subbing the names of family or characters. few lines missing little grammar problems, it'S just the names that can get quite annoying being written in any way. But if you know your japanese and listen more than reading you're actually fine.
Comment:
Overall, I bought this set not knowing anything about this series, I bought it becasue the graphics looked good and I know some people had told me that this was not a series I would like. Boy were they wrong! When I first started to watch the episodes and it caught my sight right away. I must admit that I wans't expecting death or you people dealing with death but such amazing story and twists in it make it very much enjoyable. Basically every episodes is almost a new mission but in the end they all connect in some way with each other, and slowly you get caught up wanting to know the past of Aya and Omi with every detail. It so captivated my interest that I watched the whole show in 1 day lol. And now I'm planning on buying the OAv and the one with 13 episodes and hope it's as good as this series. If you like mysterious pasts, twists towards out the series, a bit of comedy, some action and blood concerning assassins that get rid of bad guys when the system of justice is unable to do anything, along with how every mission affects the characters in some way or another then I recommand it highly, This you must at least if you can rent if or borrow it from someone. Must buy series but try to find better quality if possible though !!!

This show is of the same quality of early-nineties American cartoons, which isn't saying much. The florist thing works well, as the store is always full of high school girls who have no idea that their crushes are really assassins. The subtitles were pretty decent, either fansub or really good hk, although right around the middle of the series the names get janked for an episode or two [right when names get important, of course.] I kinda had to force myself to watch the first part, but it started to get intriguing halfway, and then the last few episodes are totally beyond my expectations. The opening/closing themes are complete. Also, the end of each disk has the seiyuu goofing around in-studio and playing weird games. I don't know which came first, but the seiyuu and the characters resemble eachother [WeiB is way more bishonen, of course.] And something I didn't realize until the end-- the seiyuu are also the same boy band that does all the theme songs! They're pretty decent, too.

Reasonable... kind of ghetto animation, like an early-90's American saturday morning cartoon, but there weren't any noticible errors. I'd heard reports that Japanese fans were complaining about the animation style.

Seemed to be in working order. Apparently the seiyuu for this series also did all the theme songs!! I didn't realize that until the very end when I got a clear look of their faces in concert. A Boy Band, but a good one. They're better at being pop idols than seiyuu.

Ahhh, the quality varies on these. In the beginning, it was very good Engrish. Then right around the middle of the series, it has the Chinese Names for two episodes or so [of course this happens right when the names are very important, and a plot is starting to develop!] but after that it goes back to really good Engrish, even fansub. The timing was something a _little off, but it was pretty darn good. The names overall were accurate and changed little throughout the series.
Comment:
At first I had to force myself to watch this show. It's low-budget, and even though the characters are really bishonen a lot of the plot devices are pretty lame. It's a good premise, though.
The plot doesn't really start until halfway through, and remains kind of corny until the last 6 episodes or so where you find out who's really behind all the evil that WeiB fights.
On a priority list from
1=urgent to watch and
5=ignore completely/destroy the creator,
I would give this a
3.5=like American cartoons, except with a lot more killing. Borrow it from a friend.
I like it better now that I've seen it all the way through.
