Slight artifacts but overall the video quality is quite good

Crisps sounds on the English track. The voice acting is almost as terrible as this series though.

If you haven't already noticed I didn't like this series one bit. It's street fighter only with highschool students and failed attempts to be funny. If you must absolutely have every fighting anime on the face of the Earth I guess you might as well get this one too, otherwise look for something that's actually worth watching.

Colors and picture quality were great. There was some minor pixelation during some fast moving action scenes, so I gave it a 4.5
Audio:
Audio was superb. English voice overs were great, even better than I expected.

This series is great. I have all 6 manga and I had to complete the set by purchasing the series. If you have read the manga, and haven't bought this series thinking it will be absolutely the same...YOU'RE WRONG. It has a DIFFERENT story...isn't that GREAT! I really enjoyed both the series and the manga, they really compliment each other. I hope this review helps :)

Very mild pixilization throughout. The errors are nothing that takes away from the overal quality of the series. Color is bright. Pretty good transfer for a older series
Audio:
This part is the best part of the series no errors, flawless. Music and english track are done very good

This is a fun and amuseing little series. The K fights, student rivalries so on and so forth are only part of what makes theis series funny for an older series. I rank this as a definate picker upper oldie but goodie. A+

The video quality on FX's release of Samurai Girl - RBHSPC (well really, could the name get any longer?) is superb. This isn't surprising considering there are only 13 episodes, and the distribution is 7-6 over the two DVDs. I only noticed the most minor of pixelation during the odd high-action, high-fx scenes. If you're really not watching for it, you might not even notice it you're so drawn into the intense action, and hilarious... uhm, hilarity.
Audio:
Also superb. Samurai Girl has some of the best fight sounds I've ever heard in an action anime, and they all ring true on this transfer of the show. The English VA track is great, as you basically couldn't assemble a cast of more talented VAs anywhere in the world... unless of course you threw Crispin Freeman in there as well... but really, he's about the only veteran missing from this show. The volume levels are consistent throughout the show, and between the english and japanese tracks. This is what it's like when FX does things right.

Comment:
I picked up this series because I was getting slightly burnt out on the more serious/dramatic series... and I wanted something mindless, and fun. Samurai Girl is just that, and a little more. The quality of comedy really surprised me, especially in the episode where the main female leads battle in a K-Fight (converted for an episode into a "Kitchen Fight")... which turns out to be a cross between Iron Chef, and Street Fighter. Hilarious. As mentioned above, the English VA talent is worth the price of admission alone. Steven Blum, Melissa Charles, Wendee Lee, and on and on and on... there really weren't any voices I -didn't- recognize on this show. Extras-wise, I was glad to see the live-action extras, including the main female Japanese VAs, were translated with English subtitles. A nice bonus, which obviously did not compromise the quality of video and audio on the rest of the DVDs by being there. Way to go FX. Recommended highly for anyone who wants a fun, comedic, action-filled show with the best English voice talent around.

Video is quite superb. Only downfall in this category is that pixelation is present, especially in the action scenes. This anime has a lot of fighting so it will be noticable, but will not prevent you from enjoying this great anime!
Audio:
Audio is P-E-R-F-E-C-T! Nothing more.

Great anime! Also pretty funny. The dvd set comes in a 2-disc jewel casing with lovely cover-art. I would definetly recommend this set to anyone!

Fine, yeah some minor pixelizing but very minor - depends on your system set up really especially if you got a 10 foot widescreen - a normal tv won't show much really.
Audio:
Fine, clear and sharp although the english track seemed kinda overly wooden not the discs fault but the US actors should put more soul in like the Japanese do.

A crazy fighting anime in which it gets to the point where it's hard to keep track of all the insane fights and the story is literally out of this world. But it is funny - I 've got the manga which explains a bit more about the characters. and has a different story so if you do read it - no spoilers The menus are quite cool with the fights and energy bar - a nice addition

Slight pixelization during lots of movement...which happens quite often in this series. Not too bad, but still present.

Audio is good, no complaints.

Chapters:Each episode is split into 6 chapters, one for a little intro sequence, one for the opening animation, one for Part A, one for Part B, one for the credits, and one for the next episode preview. Menus: These are R1 ripped, but on the first disc the menu seems a little buggy. After the music and background animation are done playing, it's supposed to repeat like so many other DVDs, but...it just sorta stops. Problem was not present on the second DVD though. Not sure if I really see this as a PROBLEM since those repeating menus that I forget to turn off really drive me crazy. Packaging: Clear clamshell case. Check out the screenshots for a visual reference. Extras: Basically just these little clips of the main characters' voice actors doing various things. Like visiting the animation studio and trying to draw their characters. (One of them is pretty good!) They're subbed too, so never fear. *cough*fanservice*cough* Yeah, that about sums up a lot of this show. Very action/comedy for the most part as well. Kinda...lost for most of it, wonder where the heck this thing is going. You'll go through the whole first disc and not really get ANYWHERE as far as the story is concerned. They really beat around the bush on this one, with characters just seeming to do pointless things. There's quite a bit of funny parody going on as well, escpecially against Sailor Moon. Some hilarious scenes ensue. All-in-all it's a good weekend diversion. Reviewed on: Sylvania DVD Player, Generic DVD-ROM, PS2(Warning: Don't even TRY to play it on a PS2 'kay?)
