This is obviously some sort of TV rip as it was out so soon after the show finished airing on Japanese TV. So considering the source the video is excellent. No pixallation or ghosting or anything! I was really impressed at how clear the video looked. It wasn't even grainy, and the chapter breaks were spot on. This only adds to the enjoyment of this series. The title menu on the first disc in in Japanese, but in English on the rest of the discs.

Again perfect stereo soundtrack with great definition. All the battle scenes sound great and the sound is consistant all the way the 6 discs. The music is awesome some of the best I've ever heard in any anime series, I am defineately going to buy the OST CDs from Gundam Seed.

Gundam Seed is an awesome series, absolutely fantastic. I was totally hooked and watched it all in a few weeks. The plot and character development was amazing and drew you deeper and deeper into the story and you really felt for the characters as well, my 10 year old cried when Fllay got killed at the end. A really good boxset that far surpasseded my expections, as I was happy to watch the series so soon after it finished in Japan as I was hoocked on snipets I had watched on the internet. I highly recommend this boxset and this series, you won't be dissapointed. It will be interesting to see what happens after all the R1 DVDs are released (starting in Sept 2004) and what boxsets we get then, hopefully FX will do another dual gatefold release like their excellent G Gundam and Gundam Wing releases.

This is just a TV rip but definitely one that does not involve any ghosting...This is definitely a good thing because this show is full of mecha-battle scenes in which I didn't notice any pixelation at all..I think this was taken from either an online site www.gundam-seed.net and converted to dvd format but I could be wrong and it could just be a regular TV rip..The MI logo appears about 10 times which is good compared to the older sets when MI used to just put their logo all over the place...Usually, the logo would appear with the commercial break and disappear about 8 secs later...The quality of the video vaires IMO from disc to disc...The first three discs the video remains pretty consistant...Then the fourth disc it drop and somewhere in between picks up..It's not that its a bad feed just you can notice the video looks slightly grainier..Then the remaing two discs look as clear as a TV rip could possibly look...To sum it up it looks like a VHS you buy in store and that is pretty much it.

Since it isn't a DVD rip I knocked down from a 5 to 4 because you do hear at times BUT rarely like these scratching noises..Other than that to noise is fine and you hear all the explosions in the show pretty clearly and won't have to raise the volume up too high...

I like the show and really wish it were longer...The OST to this show rocks!! There are some really sappy momments in this but good sappy moments...The characaters grow on you...Some are more intersting than others but some are just out there lol..By out there I'm refering to the three new characters that are introduced later on..I did not like them at all and wish Olba and his brother were in this Gundam Timeline :)...Then this show would really really rule...Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking the new villian but I just couldn't get to hate them like if I was a little kid like I did Olba/his brother...The Gundam designs are cool..I havent seen the older Gundam shows like Gundam ZZ/Z/0079 but I have seen the more recent shows and have to say this is slightly better than Gundam X and way way better in my opinion then Wing..Only reason why I say slightly better than X because I think the characters are more intresting in X than they are in Seed but I have to give the plot and animation of course to Seed...Just do yourself a favor and get this show!

VThe video of this set you can pretty much deal with but I wouldn't say its real DVD quality. More like TV/VHS quality. They are pretty much the TV rips because you see some stuff there that showed during its airing in Japan. Other than that, nothing really wrong with it.

Sounds is just like the video, pretty much TV/VHS quality but a little better, not close to DVD though. Like said earlier, TV rips put onto DVD.

This set is okay. If you cant wait for its release in the USA, go for this set but if you are a DIE-HARD SEED fan and are really picky and stuff, you might want to reconsider. Not a bad set but not a great set either.
