I didn't find no video problems at all & I was thinking it was from a DVD source? The audio in this was a bit strange. I watched this on a normal stereo TV without surround sounds, but it seemed like MI was trying hard to mimic a surround effect. E.g when a person is calling from the left but is not showed onscreen, the voice will only come out of the left speaker, or when theres water trickling in the background, it would sound very quiet. I wasn't particularly impressed with this fiddling, I felt that it was a tacky modification. Maybe it dosen't happen on all TV's though. The subtitles are really good but variable. It starts of near fansub quality but then it just becomes good subs. Not that it's bad or even just average, but the odd few episodes can be spotted with quite a few grammer mistakes. I loved this set. It's so much more better than the first, not just in terms od DVD quality but the storyline is alot more light-hearted and funny. The mood differs immensely from the serious and painfully slow paced 1st series. So maybe in this series they spend the first 2 discs just mucking around, but it's still alot of fun. (The two midget brothers are actually funny and not just irritating little twits). For the most, Revenge reminded me of those filler episodes of Slayers.

The video here was either a poor R2 rip or a ok LD rip. There are alot of dropouts and the colors aren't as sharp as you would expect for a professional DVD release.
Audio:
The sound wasn't that sharp, you could here some fuzz in the background....sorta like when you turn the volume too high, that kinda sound [dunno exactly how to explain it] anyways this problem occurs throughout the set.

IF you wanna desperately watch Orphen revenge, you should get this, since there is no other version currently out in english [I have heard that it will be released pretty soon on R1 though]. Otherwise, don't, you will really have to strain to understand what is said here...its not really worth the money.

Video: Great video here, only a few screen blips here and there like normal with MI (whats with them and this problem?). Likely a R2 rip. Some minor bitrate problems here and there during high action scenes but not bad at all. On a personal note I did not like the art style in this series. I enjoyed the original Orphen but this one had a stranger more rounder look to it to me. Not horrible, but I liked the original alot more. Audio: Great audio as well, no problems whatsoever. Thought it was all good, decent audio for a TV show. Show has some fun music like the original series did. Subs: Subs are very good here. Not fansubs for sure, and fansubs have never been done for this series. The original set sucked big time, this ones a HUGE improvement. Subs make actual sense and the sentence structure is light years ahead of the previous set. Very good subs and best of all no timing problems that the original series set had. Names are hit and miss, they are mostly correct with a few that are wrong and some names are correct, but incorrectly spelled. Didn't care to much for this sequel to the original Orphen but its not that bad. For those who are getting the ADV release of the original, its still unknown whether ADV will bring over revenge so this is a good way to see the continuation of Orphen instead of having to wait, because we also don't know if ADV will want to license this show if the original isn't doing to hot in sales. We will see. Not to sure if I would want to pick up the R1's if they ever got released. I enjoyed the original but this felt like a let down.

Video: 5.0 Excellent!!! Definitely a R2 rip. I watched the entire show and no color fading or blurness. Audio: 5.0 No problems here/ Subtitled: 4.0 The subtitle is done pretty well. Its not perfect like region 1 dvds but its great for a HK DVD. Definitely not 'engrish'. The set is definitely a good set to buy especially if you are an Orphen fan.
