R2 DVD quality, no pixellation, blurry or grainy scene. Dark Shell was made near the end of 2003 by the company Blue Eyes, the graphic are simply awseome and very realistic. The girl's body designed was great. Unfortunetly, Dark Shell is censored with mosaic, damn japanese laws. During the ending credit, they were some vertical line in it but it's no biggie compared to the rest

Audio:

No problem detected, Yuka moaning was great to hear during her h-scene

Subtitle:

There were no chinese names but all the names were wrong. The name are sometimes not easy to get but here's a list of every names in Dark Shell (Wrong name = right name) Memn = Moe Goez = Tomoko Lesui = Liei Chinn = Kione Sisho = Yuka Aijie = Aki Godge = Hiroki Sidge = Husokawa Shu = Kaoru Hodin = Kuroda Fodou = Koshima Guido = Hiragata There were a couple of mispelled words like limpossible = impossible and bilge = bulge The translation from japanese to english is okay. At some place, the translation was great but in other place, it was not very good. A few words were not translated properly like Iku was translated to " I'm molting " instead of "I'm cumming". They use wrong verb in some phrase. The verb conjugaison also was lacking, instead of saying "we were attacked", it was "we was attacked" and instead of "are", it was "is". Sloppy job by the translater 2 missing subline, there are no english subline for the preview of episode 2 but there is one in chinese The ponctuation/syntax is good but could have been better Overall, the sub was okay but there are room for improvement in the name and translating department.

Comment:

I like Dark Shell a lot hovewer this is probably the most traumatizing storyline i've seen in my life. You'll see man and young wimen getting "sniped" in the head which means you'll see a lot of blood in it. The wiman getting shot on the head was very hard to watch (and to swallow) the shot comes out no where and bang, you're dead without knowing it. The sniper who wants the faction dead has a sad storyline to tell, she was raped with her dead boyfriend watching (he got shot in the head). Very, very sad. This storyline is very extreme because of what I mention earlier. The girls that accompagny the faction gets rapped in order to make the man more courageous in batlle and once a comrade gets killed, they don't want to stay a virgin before they get killed. It's a good storyline however they have many traumatizing scene. (I'm repeating myself but be warned about this) Here's a list of what happens in this 2 episodes hentai (28 minutes each) Episode 1 3 raped h-scene 1 h-scene 1 blowjob scene 1 masturbating scene Episode 2 1 threesome (2 man and 1 wiman) 1 h-scene 2 raped/group h-scene Some wimen were very intriguing to follow, Moe got molested one time before the war broke and she lost her thinking and her sight (she not blinded), Tomoko tries her best to protect her, she says weird thing sometimes like "Is she dead" or "Will my time comes soon". The only thing I regret not seeing is some scene from the past concerning some character's in Dark Shell. Blue eye could have done more than 2 episodes for it but with the heavy scene occuring, they were wise to do it like this. Overall, Dark Shell was very good. Good storyline, but be warned, if you don't like to see girl's get shot in the head, keep away from it because you might be traumatized from the rest of your life (I'm exagirating a little but the scene are not pretty to see). You see some nice fight between faction, the girl's body were incredible to see (some of them had big melon like Yuka) which make the h-scene pleased to see (unless you hate raped scene) If you like traumating and raping storyline, get it otherwise don't bother with it Give it a try but be warned again of the heavy scene VERY RECOMMANDED The ending sequence is very very very very sad and depressing There is a R1 version of Dark Shell that came out a week ago so no mosaic and perfect subtitle Extras: none Packaging: Sexy shot of Moe (lying down) and Liei (right), in the background, nice back shot of Kaoru holding a gun (she got a great body in it). I forgot to speak about the reversible cover (the first one I got in all my hentai collection), the screenshot posted by my good buddy MatthewMalay shows Kaoru protecting Moe with her gun, very nice indeed)
