Almost perfect. I didn't notice any color bleeding as mentioned in previous reviews. The only little thing I noticed if anything is a jagged frame, but this only happens 1 in a MILLION times.

Audio:

No probs. perfect.

Subtitle:

Amazingly good compared to other HK releases. There is NO Engrish. Eps. 1-6 I would say are GOOD with some inaccuracy but subs are still completely understandable and easy to follow. Eps. 7+ are GREAT! Of course nothing can compare to fansubs, which spoil us. The subs aren't as great as #anime_daisuki fansub encodes, but judging by HK standards, these subs are amazing!

Comment:

The DVD I have actually says it was released by Anime Cartoon Int., but (just in case you didn't know) Anime Cartoon & Manga Int. are the same company, they just switch between the 2 names on releases). Also, my box art is different than that shown here. The box art is beautiful!!! Even if you don't like this series, it's worth keeping as a collector's item for the box art alone!!! Overall, there is no need to think twice here.... DEFINITELY BUY THIS TITLE!!!

A good rip of the original LD or DVD sources. Very slight pixellation and color bleeding if any.

Sounds all right to me on my set-up. Good TV mix, but nothing spectacular.

Eh, I was really hoping that Manga had used Sachi Gumi fansub scripts for this, but I guess not. The subtitles range from okay to terrible. The first season's subtitles are pretty bad, but they get a tad better in season 2. The first season's main problem that annoyed me is that they put two character's dialogue in the same sentence. Or, they'd address who said what. (Eg. "Maron, blah blah blah" instead of "Maron: blah blah blah") To someone not paying attention, you'd think they were saying someone's (or their own) name. Otherwise, the subtitles are understandable once you think about it, but not that great. Typos, combined words, grammatical errors. The usual HK DVD works.

Comment:

I expected more from this anime. It's not as good as I wanted it to be. I found the ending to be rather lame. Overall, the manga is better. But it's not a bad anime; just somewhat mediocre. I will say that it has a good twist in the end.

Video:

Excellent. In the first season sometimes you can see a little line of distortion on the very top of the screen. This isn't there in the second season.

Audio:

Nothing to compain about.

Subtitle:

For the first few eps they use different subs, that are "just" ok. They have the problem that superpchan mentioned in the review above. But from ep 5 (I checked it again!) subs are based on fansubs and are very good. Of course there are the occasional typos, mistimings etc., but nothing really bad. You won't get much better subs in HK releases.

Comment:

OK! Finally finished this set. The only real problem with this set are the not-so-good subs for the first 4 episodes. A safe buy, if you like magical-girl shows.
