good rip. no pixellation on a regular TV. of course there will be artifacts on a PC monitor. most propably LD rip, its 1993.

Audio:

no funny sounds whatsoever

Subtitle:

Comment:

good buy. the best you can get out of the series for now

Video:

The video is very good, i dident notice any major problems. Ofcourse you get some pixelation during heavy fight sene's, but most people wont notice it (i think you wont see it at all on a TV (note: this serie was viewed on a 17" TFT PC monitor)). Score (4.5)

Audio:

Same here, your standard Japanese audio track. There where no auto of sync moments, or any strange sounds (overmodulated sounds etc). Score (5.0)

Well, this i find a mixed bag. I have seen some people (like amakusa007 @ import-anime) give the subs a 4.5 worth score. I'm sorry to say, unless you are a infant, this isent true. 4.5 subs are way overrated. For HK Original's they arent bad, but it's like the Fist Of The North Star set (dvd 2 -> 17), they lack a lot. The main character name's are right on the mark (most of the time), sub characters tend to get a name change, some minor, some become a chinee's name, most of the time you wont notice it sinds they are sub character, but still. For the most part the subs are valid but they are mis & run a lot of time's in trying to get over what the character said. For the first 4 dvd's you will be able to follow the story, sinds at that moment, it's a very simple story. But later in the serie, things will start to get a bit complicated ( a lot sometimes ), and the subs then become hell. You need to imagine to mutch what the characters mean when they said something, sinds the subs give you a very crude & basic translation. There are here & there some missing subs, but this is rare at worst. The subs are not that bad like the MI One Piece set (eps 26 -> to now), but they do lack a lot, and you will lose a lot of the story at some points becouse of these subs. They are easy to understand (for the most part), but like most HK Original subs, you lose some meaning & depth from the serie (nothing new here). Score (3.9)

Comment:

This set is a MI rip ( looks like 1 on 1 copy's widout the MI intro ). This serie is realy good, if you can get past the first 1.5 hour's, becouse it's kinde hard to get into the serie thanks to all the children. A 13 year old piloting a Gundam?? Lucky that after the first 1.5 hours the character mature's to a 16+ years old level (and become's less anoying). After you get past these introduction episode's, the story starts to unfoled more, and become's realy good (and very dark). I did notice several MAJOR flaws in the serie (gundam getting one of his weapons destroyed by a spider mech, deep in enemy terain, with no replacements around, and one episode later when he fights again, his weapons are back *grins* nice try director ;) ). If you like the Gundam Serie's, this is a serie you wil glady see, but this serie has also more flaws in it (most of these flaws people wont notice, but i'm a stickler for details like that ;) ). Sinds this serie will most likly never (or not for the first 3 or 4 years atleased) see a R1 release, this set is the best you will get.
