Reviews for Kurogane Communication Perfect Collection

Video:

Great Video, since episodes are half length there wasn't any compression problems

Audio:

Perfect audio. I watched with the japanese audio, but did check the dub at times including the outtakes

Subtitle:

Awesome, nice yellow subtitles, not dubtitles also. I did notice a line or 2 missing throughout the set, but it might have been intentional(some common used words in anime)

Comment:

Nice set, 24 episodes shorter then usual(12-14 minutes) includes different extras on each disc. Selecting "trailers" on the menu will give you outtakes, this happens on all 3 discs.

Video is CRYSTAL CLEAR -- no distortions, bleedings, whatever.

Audio:

Listened mainly to the Jap Audio with English subtitles option (there are 4 options from the menu) and the it's great -- doubt it is 5.1 but it should at least be STEREO. Tried the English Dub and it sounded OK too.

Subtitle:

This has to be a rip and it is a good one too! Hardly anything is missing and you definitely get ENGLISH here!!! I think I remebered the subbs being yellow in color and standing out very nicely -- perfectly readable against whitish backgrounds.

Comment:

I actually loved the story even though it was rather predictable. Should appeal to fans of drama+scifi -- action+scifi fans might be disappointed since this anime focuses more on emotions, relationship bonding and friendship rather than the shoot-them-up. Agree with the previous reviewer that the OP and ED songs are fabulous -- they were perfect in portraying the mood of the anime in a sentimental way -- reminds me of SaiKano (She, the Ultimate Weapon), without the depression, of course. Characters are well designed and well developed throughout the series. Felt the ending was a bit of a rush -- maybe due to this series having only 24 rather than the usual 26 episodes. Overall, definitely worth your money as well as a top spot in your collection.

Looked great in my Apex DVD player and DVD-ROM drive. This is a rip. The menu is in a neat interface, however the trailer button takes you to dub outtakes. I don't think there are trailers on any of the DVDs as this happens on all the DVDs. There is around 15 minutes per episode instead of the normal 30 minutes per episode length.

Audio:

I watched this title with Japanese audio and subtitles on. However, there is an English dub present for your enjoyment. The audio sounded great in stereo to me, you could hear all the voices and effects clearly.

Subtitle:

Great English subs because it is a rip. There were a few missing lines, perhaps 1 or 2 lines per DVD. The lines were nothing important and the DVDs can be enjoyed without them.

Comment:

Packaging: Nice cover with two bishoujo (pretty female) robots. A description in English along with some screenshots is on the back. The inside of the set was very pretty with at least one female character on every DVD. Fan Service: Fairly mild, but you do get some "accidental" walking in while changing, in the shower, etc. Content: I found this to be a rather unique title, with the "only surviving human with only robots for companions" twist. The first few episodes were somewhat slow, but the action picks up about 1/4 to 1/2 way through the series. Extras: Dub outtakes, production sketches, and little comics pertaining to the series. (Best to view the extras after you have watched the DVD they are on, because some contain spoilers.) This series is worth the money for a decent/good storyline, and I liked the opening and closing songs. I found it to be entertaining. It is not the best anime I have ever seen, but nowhere near the worst I have seen. If you want something different to watch, this title should deliver if you enjoy the synopsis and the background of the story. I would say it is a good title to break up the monotony of your favorite genre of anime.
