Same as the previous sets, slightly dull colours, slightly unsharp and about two or three eps have a slight shake to them and aliased lines etc. Nothing major though as the video is still great quality...

No problems although I have no special speaker set up.

This set is good but the story can annoy me sometimes... After a while it gets so repetitive. Conan still shoots Mouri with the dart, Ran never see's Shinichi (although one ep will surprise you) and it's just case after case. The advantage I suppose is you can allways just stick it on without worrying about remembering what happened. The bad bit is you know it's still running in Japan so nothing is going to advance storywise. I have set 3 which im gonna watch next but if nothing progresses I might not get set 4...

The LD transfer is great, with solid lines and no pixelation that I could see. It loses some points for bad colors in some episode, some episodes will have different dark levels, and some just don't look right. It's really now that bad, but sometimes annoying. The MI logo is burned on very often in episodes, and the email addresses are there to, but they're much less frequent then the logo. Each episode has the opening intact and everthing, but that's neccesary because each opening is different. It's good though, all endings are there too.

It was regular clear audio. Woo!

The set has the same design as the first series, with the brick background, but this time green colored. I have NO idea why Kaito Kid (a manga also written by Gosho Aoyama, but never got it's own animation) is on the cover. I know he appears in some movies, but I'm pretty sure he isn't in this TV season at all (still haven't finished disc 3) They use the same picture of Ran, Conan and Shinichi in the gatefold, then use the picture of the keyhole twice. Then there's 3 pictures of Conan, sometimes with Ran as well, for the discs. The discs bricks are a more blueish color then the package, so it looks a little strange. Once again, the slots for the discs have the pictures of the discs in reverse order, so instead of disc 1 being on your left, then 2 then 3 on your right, the discs (if you match the disc pictures with the pictures behind them) are discs 3, 2, 1. Still don't know why they do this. The menus are still, but don't have music in the background this time. I like that, since Conan doesn't have a very good theme song yet. The menus look nice, though. The chapter points are GREATLY improved since the last set, being set at start of episode (theme), episode title, then ending song rather then start of episode and that's it. The following few minutes of the episode that comes after the ending song is subtitles, but not the preview part right after that. No intros/endings were subbed. The content is great, a truly wonderful series. The mysteries continue with more well shaped murder mysteries. All people should enjoy this show, which never gets boring to watch. This set overall is great. Worth checking out, and the content sure as heck rocks.

The video was pretty damn good. It is an LD rip, but far to have the dvd quality, cause there isnt a dvd release of this part of the series. There were few issues that bothered me. 1- In some episodes the image is darker than in other (that is not a problem of the animation colours) and it was annoying 2- In 1 episode (I dont remember which one) the image slips on a moment but is not important cause is in the opening sequence and is for only a second .

No complains with the audio, but it was a LD so, is not as perfect as it could be

OVERWALL: A PERFECT SET IN MY OPPINION. AS THE OTHER GUY SAID, I HOPE PART 3 IS RELEASED SOON

The subs were better in part 2 and the ending segments are now subtitled. They are still missing the subs on NEXT CONAN HINT...but maybe this will be added in part3. The main storyline continues to move slowly, but unlike many other anime series...Detective Conan is not repetitive (except for how he explains a mystery -tranquilizer dart and voice imitations). The mysteries get better and better and new characters are introduced. I am extremely happy with the releases of Detective Conan.

Better looking than the video quality on the Part 1 set. If the R2 DVDs are available, then they were definitely used. If they are not available, then this is a great LD rip. All OP, ED and Previews were intact but they were not subbed. Watermarks would appear in every other episode once for ten seconds. The (MI) website and e-mail addresses would appear on screen (not within the subs) for 15 seconds at the beginning of an episode. This happened five times or less throughout the set.

Sounded fine all the way through. No trouble.

This was an amazing release. Everything about this set was better than the Part 1 set. And the Part 1 set was pretty damn good. There were no extras Chapter Breaks = OP, Beginning of Ep, ED And once again the content gets a rating of 6/5 Overall this set gets a 5/5. I was completely satisfied and then some. A perfect set in my opinion. I hope Part 3 is released soon.
