Overall:
Video:
Disc 1: Flawless! R2 Rip! This disc gave me so much hope that the rest of the series would look just as good, but it was all a let down. Discs 2&3: TV Rip! A lot of ghosting on disc 2, some on disc 3. This is starting to become AV's signature. Really bad TV rips! Someone should send them money so that they can purchase a better recording device, geesh!
Audio:
Sound is respectable. Appears to be Dolby Digital 2.0. As this is a new series that has not been released in North America yet, there are no English tracks.
Subtitle:
English subtitles are sometimes right on the money, yet not as good some other times. Overall, the English subtitles perform their task of giving you an idea of what is said onscreen. There are mistakes here and there, but it is not agonizing. It is better than those 'Engrish' subtitles we have all come to expect from earlier HK DVDs. Still, they have a long way to go before we become entirely comfortable reading them. Makes you wish that they would just rip the subs off the fansubs.
Comment:
Menu: Very standard, with "play", "scene selection", etc. The scene selection is especially well done. Episodes are divided into 'beginning op', 'part A', 'part B' and 'ending op'. From the menu, you have access to all episodes and to each part of a particular episode. Chapter breaks: There is a break for every part of an episode as stated earlier. There are previews before each episode and there are chapter breaks right before and after a preview, so that you can skip to a preview or skip it completely if you do not wish to view it. This series is entertaining. There are twists and turns in the plot, but the underlying story is not very complicated. This series should provide some viewing fun for those who just like to see cute girls playing heroines.
