Video:
All 3 DVD's: Awseome, probably Laserdisc quality. I found no pixellation, grainy or blurry scene.
The graphic reminds me of Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers), they (graphic) are not the best
out there but it's fun to watch old classic japanese anime.
Audio:
No problem detected, the opening song is very catchy

Comment:
Marmalade Boy was great, I though it was better than Maison Ikkoku. Marmalade Boy
is a romantic comedy with plenty of shocking moment, surprise, deception, betrayal
weird relationship ect.. ect.. It's kind of a soap opera. So much is going on, I
like these type of anime.
One of the weirdest relationship in anime history (I think) involves Yuu and Miki
parent's. Yuu mother hangs out with Miki father's and Miki's mother with Yuu father
and they all decide TO LIVE IN THE SAME ROOF. Imagine Yuu and Miki reaction when the
parent's announce they will both be married at the same time HAHAHAHAHA That was a
classic
One of my favorite charcter in Marmalade Boy was Meiko, Miki's best friend. She has
a relationship with her teacher. Nobody knows this, not even Miki's. The way she
fell in love with him was very touching. However, Miwa another student from school
fallows her around asking for a date and he wouldn't let up. At one time, Yuu and
Miwa plans a double date (Yuu with Miki and Miwa and Meiko), however it backfires
for Miwa as Meiko is not even interested in him HAHAHAHA Poor guy
The character's relationship really start fast during the first 5 episodes. Miki has
to choose between Yuu and Ginta, a friend from childhood. Ginta made fun of a love
letter Miki left him during middle school and she doesn't know if she deserve him or
not. Yuu is a playboy, he refuses every advance of girl so everybody thinks is gay
when he hangs out with Miwa. Pretty fun to watch.
Arimi Akizuki always love Yuu but she can't stand seeing Miki beside him. She has a
ingenious plan to pretend to be the boyfriend of Ginta to make Miki's jealous because
she hasn't decide to take either Yuu or Ginta. Pretty interesting idea for a storyline.
Most of the episode involves around Yuu- Miki and Ginta, with Yuu and Miki living
in the same house as theirs weird parents, anything is possible. It was pretty
unpredictable a times, a happy scene can end in a sad scene, friendship can be
very fragile ect..
There are 26 episodes (24:20 minutes each) and after the end of the 1rst set (there
are three set in total), you watch to see more and more. With 75 episodes in all,
I'm very eager to see what will happen to all of the character's relationship after
that. It keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Overall, Marmalade Boys is one hell of a romantic. If you liked these kind of anime,
get it right away. Unlike Marmalade Boy, Maison Ikkoku start slow and only pick up the
pace near episode 60 but in MB, the drama start right way. Nobody knows what will happen
next. I'm eager to watch the next two boxset. You won't regret watching it
HIGHLY RECOMMANDED
