Video:

Picture quality is crisp and clear, looks identical to its R1 counterpart, so nothing to complain about. No AS watermarks either.

Audio:

The original Japanese track as well as the English dub are featured on this release. Both are presented in DD 2.0 and sound flawless on my stereo setup.

Subtitle:

You can choose between 6 (!) different subtitle languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese and Korean. I only checked the English and German subs in their entirity. English ones are perfect, the German subs are missing 2 or 3 lines for the whole show. Nethertheless very understandable. Only the special feature remains unsubbed. So, if you don't speak Japanese you propably won't understand any of the interviews. Not sure whether it's Anime Studio's fault, though.

Comment:

This AS release of Spring And Chaos is a direct R1 rip, including a movie trailer and a special featurette on Kenji Miyazawa's life.
