Video:
The video is amazingly clear, even for collaborating four dvds onto two. There are 14 episodes in total, 7 on each disc. For some reason, pixelation is a lot more noticable on the second disc than the first. Even still, the pixelation is hardly noticable and not very annoying. Colors and clear and bright and the animation is very nice. An A+ viewing experience!
Audio:
Both Japanese and English tracks and crystal clear. I listened to only the Japanese track (along with English subs). For the small time that I listened to the English track, it wasn't that bad sounding.. it's tolerable, which is more than I can say for most English dubs. =) Either way, awesome audio.

Sidenotes:
* The menu is broken down into 4 different sections:
- Play Vision (play all)
- Corrective Vision (dubs and subs options)
- Vol. 1 or 3 Access Visoons (scene selection)
- Vol. 2 or 4 Access Visoons (scene selection)
Note that "Visions" is misspelled as "Visoons". No biggy, just happened to notice it. Also, there are no extras (at least, no visible extra options).
* On this MAC set, there is a small tracklist of all the episodes and their titles. There is an error: Episode 8 and 11 are both entitled "Mitsuki" while only 8 is the correct one. Episode 11 should be entitled "Real"
* Dual! Parallel is a 14 episode series: 13 regular episodes and a "special" 14th episode. Personally, I think the 14th episode, although it ties into the series, presents no real storyline and is more of a sidestory of what happens after the war is over. Anyways, Dual! Parallel is about a young boy named Kazuki who sees events of a parallel world happening in his own. Only he can see them, so he writes about them on the Internet. A young girl named Mitsuki hears about these "visions" and takes interest in it, along with her father. They investigate this parallel world and how it ties into their own world but once they fall into this world, they get into deeper trouble than they ever could've possibly expected. Now it's up to them to make sure that the events of this parallel world help bring peace to both worlds or they are both doomed. Dual! has a good storyline.. which at times may be hard to follow, but it's a great anime nonetheless. It has it's share of drama, comedy and mecha action, so I think many will be pleased.
