In the action scenes and the eyecatches, there is some noticeable pixelation. At other times, the image is crisp and clear.

No problems here! It's in stereo and there was no distortion, no out-of-sync, no nothing. Great!

I think that this release is certainly a must-have if you cannot afford the official releases. This is just as good. The downside is that the chapter menu are divided by episode; one selection for each episode. For each of the 3 discs, the first episode on the disc contains an opening theme. And the last episode of the disc contains the ending theme. For the in-betweeners, no opening nor ending themes.

Good video. Some slight pixelation now and then, but hardly noticeable. Also looks a bit unsharp, but I guess it's the same on the original source.

Nothing to complain about on my simple stereo TV speakers.

I liked this more than the previous season. Has some really funny moments. If you liked Slayers, you'll love this one. For all others: A nearly perfect set of an entertaining series. Not a must-buy, but you won't regret buying this.

Somehow, it seemed as though the color was a bit off. Nothing major. It was really great quality, but there was a tiny bit of blur to it, I think.

I heard nothing wrong with it. In fact, it sounded really great.

Seeing as this is the series which got me into anime a few years ago, it's hard to be objective. I adore this series, and Next is the best season out of all three. I'd definitely recommend this show to anyone. Especially if you like fantasy, comedy, and a hero who does more damage than the bad guys.

Video 4.5/5 - Great quality here, but still lacks more crispness. Sound 4.5/5 - Overall it's impressive, but sometimes when someone's speaking off screen their voices practically disappear - maybe it works better with surround sound. Subtitles 5/5 - BEEEEUUUUUUTTTTTEEEEEFFFFUUULLLLL! Subs here are nothing short of perfect. English is completely comprehensible, no blatant grammar errors, and only a few spelling errors here and there. Best subs I've seen in an HK anime so far.
