Looked great in my Apex DVD player and DVD-ROM drive. This is a rip. The menu is straight-forward, with a slight touch of Engrish in the subtitles menu. The opening has a little glitch where about 2-3 secs of the first episode of the DVD set's title screen pops up on every episode, someone didn't cut the opening right. However, it didn't really bother me at all, I am happy to have an opening and ending on every episode.

I watched this title with Japanese audio and subtitles on. However, there is an English dub present for your enjoyment. The audio sounded great in stereo to me. Some of the final battles and recap episodes had, in my opinion, nice songs to them.

Packaging: Standard fare with a picture of Chiaki on the front, and a description in English along with some screenshots on the back. Fan Service: There was a fair level of fan service in this title. Nothing near the level in Aika of Najica, but it is still there. The show is based around Japanese religions (Shinto and Buddhists), with all kinds of unique things such as spells, magic bead necklaces, etc. It kind of reminded me a little bit of Gokudo, minus some of the slapstick. The story could be compared to a mahou shoujo (magical girl) show, however, since I think the manga originated in Shounen Jump, this is aimed at males. You have a transformation scene in almost every episode involving Chiaki and Zenki. Overall, I would highly recommend this set, it was a very entertaining title. (Did I mention that I think Chiaki is kawaii?)
