Video:
2 dvd5's were put on a dvd9 and I noticed few if any video artifacts, excellent quality and this from watching it on an hdtv upscaled to 720P.
Audio:
Very good stereo.

I have the second disc of this that was put out by Viz and I honestly thought these were taken from there.
Comment:
This was released in the us on 2 discs that are impossible to find-this is a godsend. The series follows the manga pretty closely-well endowed girls, suffering protaganist, bunny mentor, psychic abilities (hence the name-Psychic Academy). It doesn't take itself seriously, the characters are likeable, it's short enough to watch in one setting (24 10 minute episodes)-what's not to like? My disc is region free.

Excellent rip. I didn't notice pixelation or other problems at all.
Audio:
Nothing to complain about on my simple stereo TV

These are GOOD HK-Originals (and you thought it wasn't possible ;) The names are correct (or at least phonetically close with those aura codes) and the grammar is better than usual. As mentioned before, some of the last episodes have a slight drop in quality, but for most times these are among the best HK Originals I've seen so far.
Comment:
If you always dreamt of the all-in-one anime, this is your series. All-in-one on only one DVD. First you get your high-school anime, with rivals, tests, love-triangles and even the obligatory beach episode. Second, all the students have psy-powers, so you get some flashy "aura"-fights. Third, all the girls in this anime have big boobs, so there are a lot of breast-orientated scenes and jokes to satisfy your ecchi needs. Fourth you have a talking, pink rabbit sidekick, providing some fun moments. Fifth, you even have a small "girl-of-my-past" storyline (no anime should be without one). The only thing missing is big mechas, but I guess you really can't have all. A very nice anime. The only complaints I have is that the character designs don't reach the level of the manga (the girls are even more well-rounded in the manga) and that it's sometimes inconsistent between scenes (you actually can notice the different breast size of the same girl between some scenes. Nevertheless, good value for money. Recommended! PLEASE NOTE: My disc wasn't codefree, but Region 3. So you need a codefree player to watch it!

This is not Hentai. The box like the old Orange Road series makes you think the series is different than it is. It is a very fun light harted anime about kids with psy powers.

The video is actually very good. Though there are some times where things get a bit fuzzy, it is generally very good.
Audio:
Again, very good. What few sort of grey areas there are may only be from the original design of the show, and not from putting it on DVD.
Subtitle:
There is a time or two when a very minor bit of dialogue is left out, and the character Myu... her name is misspelled as My several times. The later episodes do suffer a tiny bit in the translation, but it is better than most. Definitely better than average.
Comment:
The title of this is actually PSYCHIC ACADEMY, though it is more often listed as Chic Academy because it's written with the Greek letter psy. This is a very cute series about a boy with the power of AURA who enters a school to learn how to use his power. His brother is often considered the master of AURA. The cover artwork for the series may make it seem like a hentai series, but it's not really any more so than Love Hina is. Each episode is probably about 10 minutes long, and the opening and ending are each shown only once. The ending leaves a lot to be desired, but this is still a great series and definitely worth the watch.
