Comment:
Well this is one of those fan sub series that you see on VCD on ebay. However I'm not a big fan of the VCD format.
Video 5/5 - Beautiful. No problems whatsoever, even with the first disc containing eight episodes and loads of extras. No pixelation or macro blocking.
Sound 5/5 - No problem through my stereo. The speakers sounded very nice.
Subs 4/5 - This release was impressive. The subs looked exactly like R1(font,color,size). The translations were very good. Definately taken from fan subs. Opening and endings were subbed. However they were not perfect. There were lots of misspellings, un-necessary capitilizations, and some small engrish. Most words were easy to figure out even though they were misspelled. Example : allright - allrght however some were tough Example : be - ne. There was one word that I had no clue on what it was supposed to be in english (it had no equivalent). All of the names were right. Subs were really good!!!! As a side note there are no Chinese subs. This is incredible because this shows that HK companies have realized the potential market available in America, and are probably working harder to make even better releases.
Packaging 4/5 - Well as you might know the series is about a guy who cross dresses to teach at this one school. The only problem is that he is on the backside, in bloomers. It looks more like a different character, than him, but it still feels weird seeing a guy in bloomers. My only other gripe was that the case wouldn't stay closed.
Replayability 5/5 - The first 9 episodes look to be a lot of fun to just watch on their own, but the last couple would be really good to watch as a mini-feature. I'll definately check out some again, later on.
Content 5/5 - The show was a lot of fun. It starts out as a comedy, but slowly creeps into the drama genre. It's a lot of fun, and I wish there were more episodes. It's a little far fetched, I could never cross dress, I would be found out in seconds (Excuse me ma'am, I just wanted to say you have some lovely sideburns, and a nice beard to match. Though those arms seem to be a little too muscular.) As I said earlier, the guy wears bloomers and other sexy female outfits. It feels a little weird because the guy looks more like a completely different character when cross dressing, but still you know it's a guy so you feel a little uncomfortable. I enjoyed the sort of lesbian theme in the show. Overall the show was very good and the ending was exceptional. I bought the set for $14. There are 13 episodes, that's about a $1.07 per episode. It's an incredible deal and should not be passed up because it delivers the goods. By the way I still have no idea what I My Me Strawberry Eggs means.
