Video is about as good as it's gonna get for a dvd-obviously a dvd rip-as it's on 4 dvds-no compression.

Very good-basic stereo-no distortion or anything at all that I could detect.

I recently read a few volumes of the manga and wanted to see how closely the anime followed it-so I dug this out of my pile and rewatched it after 2 years-very good although the art style of the anime and manga differs greatly. Great series.

Looks great. Direct R3 rip. No downsampling. No problems noted, and no logos of any kind (just the way it should be).

Video: 5/5 Crisp and pretty.
The show's animation and character drawing quality dip a little in a few episodes in the middle of the series (in one episode, the close-ups of Niita mader her look like she was on steroids), but overall it has a pleasant look.
Audio: 5/5 Sounded perfect.
English Subs:
Discs 1,2,4
3.5/5 Very decent, simple and understandable with all the correct names, but translation can be a bit Engrishy. Also lacks consistent capitalization for the first words of new sentences.
Disc 3
5/5 Fansub quality. Almost perfect, except for a couple of minor grammar errors. Noticeably better than the other discs. Curiously, this was the only Disc that also had an Odex screen + Pioneer screen at the beginning. Was this the only true direct Odex rip, I wonder?
The Show: One of those "coming of age" shows focusing on 3 teenage guys and 3 girls in the same school. There's fan-service and attractive character designs as well. It's told mostly from one of the guys' point of view. A little predictable concerning how the relationships unfold, but the direction and writing of the series is very good. Definitely enjoyable.
Overall: 4/5 A decent buy for an decent show.

Very good. No annoying logos. Third disk is ripped from the official release and includes Trailers of the Boys Be, Tenchi in Love 2 and something I don't remember...

Video 5/5
DVD rip nuff said, disc3 was a direct copy from Odex with Malay subs and extras but only disc3.
Sound 5/5
No problems at all.
Subs 4/5
Pretty decent.
"depressed" is the only word that I can think of after watching this series, definately a very emotional anime but too heart wrenching for my taste. I wouldn't recommend anyone who enjoys light hearted animes watching this b4 their exam LOL.

Audio, Video, & Subs are excellent.
Content:
As the series begins the storyline is progressively linear cycling through each of three boys. I would consider this series your typical love story. The interesting difference of this series is that it is done completely from the male perspective, more specifically that of the three friends. Overall a light-hearted anime series, that is a dramatic journey saturated with comedic elements to keep things enjoyable.
I thoroughly enjoyed this anime series specifically the struggling artist Kyoichi and sprinter Chiharu, who have known each other since kindergarten. Highly recommended for those of you looking for a nice love story.

Video: It´s not an old show and they used a dvd source for sure, great video. 5/5 (no problems at all)
Audio: A 2ch japanese track, no problems here, but nothing special. 4/5
Subtitles: To make this easy... it´s an odex rip, this means that the subtitles are really great. Even disc 3 is a 100% Odex rip (so you get the odex menus, also malay subtitles and some extras -anime trailers-). 4/5
