Sub-par... so as with other reviewers, I'm guessing this was not a DVD rip. If it was, the compression is terrible. It's watchable until an R1 source is used for a complete set, however, I don't recommend buying this unless you're a huge fan of the show.
Audio:
Passable... but again, definitely not up to the quality of most releases these days. I'm looking forward to having the option of an English dub, as well, once the R1 releases are used as sources.

I hadn't seen this series before... so I was glad to get the chance to watch it, despite all the flaws with this release. However, I can't recommend it unless you -really- can't wait for the R1 rip. Seriously.. you can spend your money better on another title.

The makers recorded this from tv. And not from the same networks either. Some episodes had the network id/logo displayed. I really can't complain about most of the episodes, they were ok. But one particularly important episode where Robin fights the hunter "Saxdray" (as the subtitles call him), is super grainy. I would have rated this an average 3 out of 5, but the video for this episode was so annoying.
Audio:
It was fine, not perfectly uniform as far as I can tell, but then again, I was busy reading the subs. The music and sound effects were ok though.

I love this series and bought this set because I couldn't wait for Bandai to release the later episodes. I wish now I had more patience. I tape the series when they show it on TV though, so the story becomes clear when I hear the dialogue and realize what they really are saying. Love the anime. Hate this rip.

Like said before, this is a TV rip. But darn, is it the best I have ever seen! While it is good, it does have its flaws. For one, there is ghosting. Frankly, I can see it every episode, but I really have to concentrate on it (which is hard because this series is great). Second, there is grainy-ness on the second disc. It's hard to notice. I had to rewind a little to make sure it was actually the real deal. But, it was, but it didn't take anything away. Altough very minimal, there was pixelation. Only happened about twice on the whole set.
Audio:
I can't say it was anything special, but it was good. Audio quality was good, but the music on the actual anime was a bit repetitive. I did love the theme song though. I found myself singing to it.

Awesome series. Although, I do think the plot is a bit unoriginal.

Pretty sure it is a TV rip, the image flickered in a few spots but nothing too horrible, although for some reason episode 20 was really bad.
Audio:
No skipping or anything, being stereo it is limited though.

The series was pretty good, and when a perfect collection is released i will probably buy that one, this set just didn't do much for me.

Good for a TV rip, but limited.
Audio:
This did not suffer as much as the video, so was still not bad.

One of the few series I've seen recently that's worth watching. Great suspense and a dark atmosphere that works well. Almost every epsiode has an action scene witch vs witch, but the main storyline evolves slowly and becomes more shocking towards the end. Some great characters here and an interesting relationship between two main characters. I recommend this if to to darker anime fans, perhaps those who like Noir. Much enjoyed. Can't wait to get an R1 rip when it's done. Note that I am a mature anime fan, not that it should make much difference.

some pixelation, during one episodes heavy pixelation but that's the only episode after that is quite less noticable
Audio:
crisp and clear although throughout the series the characters actually don't talk loud anyway, but quality is there

I bought this sicne there's been a lot of advertisment on this series, and thank god I didn't pay a lot for it, I am totally disappointed. The story seems to develop very very slowly , no action at all, nor blood, think in the whole set there's less than an hour of action. Lots of talking through this series, kinda reminds me of Gasaraki, and it's previews, they show a lot and it looks cool but it actually sucks in many ways. ( note personal opinion ) The story lacks as well, ( have I mentioned it's really slow?? ) lol. Anyway I stopped watching it after 20 episodes because it was simply torture to wait and wait and nothing much develops. Planning on selling mine asap for any price fast.
