An almost perfect R1 rip, it has no pixelation that I could see on my tv.

The English dub is somewhat medicore acting but has no technical problems with it. Japanese dub is much better, and better acting.

This series starts out kind of corney, but if you can make it through the first 5 episodes or so it will start to improve and grow on you a little. There isnt really anything exceptional about this anime, it tries to be funny alot, and deformed characters are common. Worth a buy I guess if you dont have anything else to buy. I would rate the anime itself 3.5/5

Crystal. This my first MAC set and I'm really impressed with the video quality. There's none of the messy pixellation that you always see in FX releases... not even during high-action scenes! The only compression that I could see (using HDTV) was on the still image used for the menu.

English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0. Having a 5.1 Japanese track would be nice, but that's probably asking for too much.

Jubei-Chan is one of the most entertaining series that I've seen. Its genre is comparable to the first half of Trigun. Comedy, action, touching moments, romance (kind of)... it's all here. It's only 13 episodes so definitely check it out! And watch out for its sequel, Jubei-Chan 2.

Some really good video in this set. Just about flawless really.

Clean and good. Make sure you watch this series in japanese only tho.

A rather mediocre series. Kind of hard to compare it to anything else I have seen. It has some good humor, painfully quick fights, some horrable character drawings (on purpose tho), and a style that is just a little odd to see. Bit hard to recommend this series, nor not. If you have not allready seen this series, and dont know what to expect, then I recommend that you make sure that there is nothing else you want to buy more first.

Nice video, really good

Audio was top notch, I had to watch the dub though

I enjoyed the series, but was disappointed by the subtitles. I had heard that the newer sets had corrected the problem.

Very clear no macroblacking that I can see of. Nice R1 rip.

Nothing to complain about really, the Japanese sounded good. I don't really like the dub but it is in 5.1 which is a nice feature.

Overall this is definitaly a safe buy now for fans of English and Japanese language. Its also a great show from the guy who brought us Sexy Commando, Kodocha, Fruits Basket and Now then Here and There.

R1 ripped it was beautiful, I have the original set by bandai and it is identical.

Once again perfect, could find nothing wrong with the audio.

I thought I could buy this set and make some money on ebay by selling my originals, but because of the subs looks like I ended up with two sets. The story is really decent at best, but its the awkwardness of the show that makes it. Several histerical moments and even a little drama ALA Tenchi style. So if you can stomach bad dubs go get this set!!

R1 ripped. Looks great. Even during action scenes, no pixelation that I could see.

2 Tracks--Japanese Dolby Digital 2 Channel and English D.D. 5.1. I listened to both and they both sounded good.

No extras included, in fact, this is pretty much a no-frills release. Menus and packaging are simple, but get the job done nicely. My only real gripe is with the lack of chapter breaks, but I'm sure I'll get over it. Overall, this is a good set for the money. I was pleasantly surprised by Jubei-chan, which, unlike many short series, gets better and better with each episode and has a very nice conclusion. Never too serious for too long, but the humor is never grating or stupid. There are some nice dramatic scenes in here, too. And EVERYTHING with Jubei's father is just pure gold! Light-hearted, and ultimately, very sweet. Note for those who keep track of such things: Series direction was done by Akitaroh Daichi (Fruits Basket, Animation Runner Kuromi-chan, Now and Then, Here and There, Kodomo no Omocha, etc.).

Unmistakenly a R1 ripped.

disk2's sound is softer than disk1 at a same volume. The English dub sounds fine.

First time after watching the few begining episodes, I immediately determined that this show is bizarre and senseless. Dialog are so corny and characters are weird. I even had skipped watching some episodes in between. After watching ep13, I still found it was a worthless title. Then having just watched the show properly from the beginning til the end, I've become fond of the odd characters. Despite some characters are still irritating, "Jubei chan" has become more than just tolerable but "lovely" to watch. If you already like "Jubei chan", this set is a must buy.
