The pictures are very clear. Animation is substandard for 2002 production, so if you expect perfect and modern animation from shows like chobits or inuyasha then don't bother watching this anime at all. The producer is trying to make this anime looks as similar to the manga as much as possible, so the result is that animation is manga styled which unfortunately does not appeal to US audiences. But if you have watched anime for long time and are used to 1990s animation then you will find the animation of this series acceptable.

Audio:

Perfect audio. The voice acting of this anime is superb and one of the most solid team I have ever had a pleasure to hear. Watching them performing episode by episode is a memorable experience of a lifetime. Hard to find anime with more solid voice acting team to compare.

Subtitle:

The sentence makes sense most of the time. You won't find sentences which do not make grammatical sense in this box set. It is a shame that some names are wrong. So before you watch this series study these names and remember them so you won't be let down while watching this incredibly series. Megumi Amatsuka (heroine) is translated as Angel Whitney Genzo Soga (hero) = Suo Yuanza Miki Hanakain = Meimu Kobayashi = Lin Fujiki Ichiro = Toku Ichiro Yasuda Tasuke = Yasuda (correct) Keiko (Megumi's rival) = Keiko (correct) Yoshimi = Yoshimi (correct) Takao (villain) = Takao (correct) Remember this well.. and you'll enjoy this series from the beginning till the very end.

Comment:

This anime is definitely one of the funniest series I have ever seen, rivalling Great Teacher Onizuka and Full Metal Panic Fumoffu for the comedy. Not only the protagonist and the hero, Soga Genzo, is extremely funny.. The male supporting characters (Fujiki, Yasuda, Kobayashi) are extremely funny too. And also Megimu's rival, Keiko, is extremely funny as well. This series feature one of the best characterizations I have ever seen in romantic / comedy animes where many characters have very distinctive personalities and charm. Of course, this anime is not for everyone.. as it has some really sensitive issue of gender bending involved.. but if you can get pass that.. you will be richly rewarded by its incredibly funny storyline.. You will be amazed how good the plot is and the level of suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat seeing whether Megumi will decide to become a girl and love Genzo or she wants to go back to a boy and be with Miki..

The video is perfect and crystal clear no pixelation, flickering or any other defects. Conclusion: Region 2 Rip!

Audio:

Audio is perfect.. no problems here

Subtitle:

The english subs on this set are not that bad, but there not perfect either, not quite engrish but not quite fansub quality either, sort of inbetween. Spelling errors are really rare and the sentences make sense 99% of the time.. but all of the names are wrong... and i dont mean by a little bit. Where it should say pervert it says "geek" and where it should say Megumi it says Whitney or Angelwhit similar thinsg like that with all the character names. The person who did these subs really did try and used proper grammar as often as he could, and you can tell they did try because actually spelling errors are pretty rare. Overall its not bad and you wont ever be stumped but the wrong names just really lowered its score in my eyes.

Comment:

Oveall an acceptable set.. perfect video and perfect audio.... decent subs

Video:

I would give it a 5 but I know ppl will be skeptical of a AV with video quality 5. It's definitely a DVD quality; sharp and almost-no pixelation on fast scenes.

Audio:

Jap dup. Loud and clear.

Subtitle:

Character names are translated from Chinese. Tranlated content comparing to Chinese sub is ok (decent). This anime has no complex theme or technical jargon so the English sub quality is acceptable. There is a lead seiyu (who voiced the character Amazuka) interview of her opinions in acting for the role is also subbed.

Comment:

A light hearted comical series that is quite interesting. Ideas are not original but be reused in a fresh way. Often funny and amusing. Each disk has an extra of animated textless shorts of Amazuka in different outfit (magical girl, kimono girl, Chinese outfit girl...). Character drawing can be unappealing at first (not CLAMP style or Rumuko Takahasi's INUYASHA or KOR) but you'll get a liking to it as you're watching the series.
