unbelievable great the first two or three discs. probably the best i have ever seen. better than any official release could ever be. it is indescribable how godly it was. unfortunately around the third disc the subtitles become very mediocre. there are spelling and grammar errors up the butt and it translates things litterally (examples would be: kou gaiji=red child and other names are translated, all names are also the chinese version)
Comment:
a good story with bishounen. after watching the first disc i got hooked. had the subtitling started out how it did on the third disc i probably would not have watched it though. it takes patience but it is worth it.

Nothing unusual.
Subtitle:
Start out great- fansub scripts. Then suddenly at around the 3rd disc it goes into enrish, and stays that way for the rest of the series and Requiem. It's a big difference, but still understandable. However, it makes the already confusing Buddhist philosophy-cultural reference scenes more vague and confusing than they were already.
Comment:
Despite the change in translators, it's a good set and a good series. As an adaptation of the Japanese version of what was originally a Chinese folk myth, it deviates from the original story in aspects but overall keeps a good idea of what the journey is about. And every character is mad pretty.

I don't really enjoy watching this movie. Because the are using too much F/X on this movie, and also there not many figthing scenes. And often they using the same scene in a different time.

I haven't seen the other versions of this set...but this is really good to have...even though i think ADV Films is gonna have it out sometime next year or by december....cuz its like...."ohh...I saw the whole series before it was out!!" So yeah....The subtitles were really good as in they set the correct mood for the story, "gettin sad where youre supposed to be sad"...it was just like the last episodes that pissed me off because "Lilin" is changed to "Maylin". THe video really deserves more like a 4.75 because its near perfect and when i mean near perfect i mean like 10mm near...I liked audio too...cuz i put my system in Dolby digital mode and man my stereos were at work....GET THIS SET!!! Too bad...the second set could show this one up....

Another HK dvd set worth your money. Excellent video, audio and fansub scripts and 26 episodes. Cool. I totally agree with the reviews below.

I forgot to mention that AsukaXIkari was right about the subs in the lst three episodes being HK subs. They are still excellent though, with good grammar and all. You probably wouldn't notice. Sorry AsukaXIkari , but i need to correct this. The names in the last three episodes in fact have the correct spellings. Maybe one or two words like ' Youkai' is spelt 'Yaokai'. I've just checked it. Maybe MI/AC re-did the subs? I don't know.

Video: R2 rips. So its pretty good and sharp. Audio: No problems here. Subs: Excellent subs. Might have been taken from fansub scripts. Timing is good as well. Menu: Good. Another one of those highly recommended. If you're looking for something decent to watch, get this.

Ahh well lets see, really liked this show, can't wait to see part 3. Video: Excellent video, its R2 rip, very good, just a few glitches and you get normal pixelation during high motion scenes. It isn't that bad here at all. Nothing major here, excellent for the most part. Audio: VERY good. Excellent soundtrack, sounds great. Nothing wrong with it, good stuff here. Subs: These were taken from fansubs and were really well done. No big problems, just a few errors. Only error I would say was for about 2 minutes at the end of one episode, the subs go off. Nothing big though as you can easily figure out what you missed :) The only problem here was sub scripts only existed up to episode 23, so the last 3 episodes use HK original subs. Very good subs though, very easy to understand, the only problem I would say was that the names were wrong. Not horrible but might bug some. But you saw 23 perfect eps, so you should figure out the last 3.
