Video:
The video is damn good quality. FX did a nice job compressing all 26 episodes on to three discs. I didn't notice any pixelation. The picture looked fine on my superwide HDTV and looked great on my laptop.
Audio:
The English dubs on Big-O are top notch. This is probably part of why it was such a big hit here in the US on Cartoon Network. I mostly listened to the Japanese, which I like even more on this series. VEry good voice actors. The first series is only in 2.0 for English and Japanese. The second series (the one Cartoon Network brought about) has 2.0 Japanese and 5.1 English. The giant robot battle sequences rocked the shit out of my 7.1 sound system! Kudos, FX!

Comment:
An all around top notch set. Big-O is a pretty unique series. Part of me wants to criticize it, because it takes a little piece from many of the major Anime series and movies, plus a lot of more American shows, such as the Batman cartoons from the 90's. But it makes a very thought provoking and entertaining series. I did think the last episode smacked of "deus ex machina," but I guess that was what they intended considering the four strongest robots are called "Mega Deus" and numbered with Greek numbers. I highly recommend this series for rabid anime fans, and it makes a very good series for those just starting out. It was one of the first series that got me interested in anime, and this set is well worht the money. To buy the complete series one and two on Amazon (Which you can't do because they're out of stock) would cost $83.47. So this is a major deal.
