For a 1993 production, I'm more than happy with the video quality. Basketball action is smooth.

Loud and clear.

Highly addictive. You'll learn to love Sakuragi Hanamichi for his detest towards Rukawa, his fearless for Gorilla(Akagi), and his infatuation for Haruko ;-).

The video for the series is not bad. It is definitely not a TV or VHS rip. It could be a LD or DVD rip, but it's hard to tell since the series is kinda old and the animation wasn't cutting edge to begin with. It does have some graininess to it. But overall, it's not bad at all.

The only audio present is a 2.0 Japanese track. I listened to it on my TV and didn't notice anything wrong with the audio.

If you like comedy, you should definitely pick up this set. The facial expressions of the main character are hilarious. They remininded me of Kintaro Oe from GoldenBoy at times. The worst part of the series is when they do finally play a basketball game, it takes them 6 episodes to complete it. But everything else going on when they're not playing in an actual game is hilarious. I can't wait until they put out the next boxset.
