This set continues the trend of super high quality. Once again probably better than the original broadcast back in the 70s

Audio:

Originally recorded in mono this has also been lovingly restored and is about as high a quality as you can imagine for a show that's 25 years old.

Subtitle:

These subs could use some help but are understandable over all. They are easy to read and with only a handful of exceptions they are well timed. The problem comes with the liberal use of Engrish and switching he/she on a regular basis. The stories are pretty straightforward so it's quite easy to understand what's being said almost all the time.

Comment:

Kudos to this set for keeping chapter breaks at the beginning of the opening credits, then at the start of the show, then at the coming attractions for each episode. It would have been nice to have a chapter break mid episode but I'm not going to push my luck. This set really shows how different the different directors were on this show. One episode has Zenigata being a total imbecile while the next has him as a super cop taking on the whole gang single handedly. This also means there are going to be episodes you love and episodes you wish you hadn't wasted your time on. If you're buying this set then you've probably already bought some of the previous sets so you know what you're getting in to.
