The video holds up quite well on all episodes on all discs. As is typical with HK releases, there is a bit of aliasing going on during extraordinarily active moments. Think, Tomo's hyperswimming scene... or those killer Yukari driving scenes. No! This isn't a major issue... in fact, you would be quite happy with this set, as I am.

The soundtrack of Azumanga Diaoh is one of the most lively, ecclectic mixes I've ever heard in my life. It really compliments the look and feel of the show... and the sudden, jarring use of sound effects hasn't distorted or overmodulated on me once. Then again, I watched this show at room level on a regular television screen... I don't own a 16-screen cinema with digital sound certificates.

It's a great show, a great set, a marvelous deal! The video's fine, the audio is durable and varied, and the subtitles don't hurt the show... they're just ugly and slightly inaccurate. If you're used to the HK DVDs and aren't upset by the girls occasionally calling other girls "Him" and "He", then you'll see no problem with the subtitles and easily look past them... unless you don't know Japanese, in which case it won't hurt you while you're looking AT them.

Video was pretty good. Compared to the recent US releases, it is very impressive. I find no problems with video quality in this set. Near perfect.

Since there's only one sound track, it seems clealy fine. Mo problems here either.

I love this series! I love this set. Nothing wrong with it other than the intro and ending only being played once throughout a dvd. Menu is simple and nice. Very hilarious series. Definetly recommend this set.

very clear for VCD rips or maybe TV rips, definately not DVD rips

clear with no hissing etc but on disc two its a lower recording than the others but still clear

i reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy enjoyed this series the episodes are composed of tiny shorts that are based on the manga which i went out and bought after watchin the seriees (vol1 by tokyo pop) coz this series was that good! definately one you can watch again and again! the pace gets a little too fast near the end though for my liking (because i just wanted the thjing to carry on) highly recommended to cheer you up when youre feeling blue!

Not perfect; the quality was alright, but I noticed - if you look real close you can see a faint bar running through it.

Great audio, no complaints here.

An overall thumbs-up, but I had to rate according to my standards. I like a comedy NOT to lose some of it's jokes due to translation.

Very good video quality. In the 3rd disc some episodes look like vcd rips or Tv rips, still they are good!!. I had some problems with my set every disc had an episode were it was running just fine but for some reason it stopped and I had to press forward to conclude the rest of the scene, it wasnt a disc error it looked like it was recorded that way. I have no complaints everything else was good just for that video clipping problem.

Clean, crisp audio even on the 3rd disc's vcd quality episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This series is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!. Very funny as well!!!. The characters have their own unique personality that makes the show unforgetable!!. The School Male Teacher is sooooooo funny, just by looking at the guy makes me laugh!!. You will love him by the first sight, one of the students ask him why did he became a teacher the guy screamed '' I LOVE SCHOOL GIRLS'', the guys started crying by his sincerety, man that was a hooot!!!. Hes my favorite character is the whole series!! Chiyo, the little girl with the pony tails is cute!!! SOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!. My most memorable scene was when she dressed as a penguin that was 150% cute!!. Shes actually a genious student who was passed from middle school to high school and the others look up to her for help. This is a series every comedy fan should have, NO ONE SHOULD MISS IT!!. This dvd set is great and well worth the money I paid for it, good subtitles and video, why wait!?!?!. Get this set you won't regret it!!!!!!

Overall, great video quality. However, pixellation and aliasing are present throughout the series and are very noticeable. Also, the last few episodes seem to be TV rips. The transition to TV rips is noticeable, but the video quality continues to be great and watchable.

The audio was very clear. But at some points during various episodes, the volume would either get louder or softer. This is annoying when it happens, but it only occurs for brief instances.
