Overall:
Video:
The video looks fine, with no obvious problems.
Audio:
The audio is fine too, again with no obvious problems.
Subtitle:
Ah, I have an issue here. Episodes 19-21 appear to be either fairly good originals or a mix of both originals and fansubs, for some odd reason. Honorifics are used and often the sentences will be perfectly understandable and well-worded, but there are also a noticeable number of Engrishy sentences that have the right meaning but are worded poorly. Episodes 22-24 appear to be all fansubs, with the subtitles for 23 and 24 being a practically perfect copy from the fansubs I've seen of this series. The subs for episode 22, however, are sloppy. There is a significant amount of missing lines and incomplete phrases and sentences, and often times the subtitles are a line ahead or a line behind its corresponding spoken dialogue. You'll understand most of everything that goes on in episode 22, but it's annoying to sit through and watch it this way.
Comment:
MI had done a fine job with this series in terms of English subtitles until this volume, where there is some noticeable (but a minor amount of) Engrish in episodes 19-21, and episode 22 was really sloppy in terms of the problems of missing words and lines of dialogue, as well as the often imperfect timing. At least the disc finishes strong, with episodes 23 and 24 done almost perfectly.
