This was only slightly better than my fansub. The story is darker than the games and thus everything seems to look poor on the HK version.

Audio:

No problems with audio.

Subtitle:

The names were messed up and inconsistent. I was lucky to understand some bits of the Japanese dialogue or I'd have been lost at points. The names are screwed up and some lines are out of time-synch, or not translated at all. The opening and ending are not subbed.

Comment:

This is good if you can get a good deal for it.

First of all let me say I love Sakura Wars, it's my absolute favorite. I own all the games, most of the live performances and this DVD set would have given me an almost perfect collection...but it didn't. Picture 4/5: Almost perfect with little pixelation. Sound 5/5: Beautiful! The songs are crisp. Subtitles 3/5: Not that great, some episodes use a perfect fansub script (I know this because I watched them before on my computer), while others are poorly translated (names and other things are messed up ex. Sakura=Ying) Other 1/5: I have no idea why this set came on 4 DVDs, the intros and endings are cut from 99% of the episodes (intro only for 1st ep; ending only for last ep. of each disc). To make matters worse half an episode is missing (I believe it's ep.18 - the Cinderella ep). Like I said there was no reason to put this set on 4 DVDs except to make more money ($30 would have been a lot less painful for an imperfect set than $40). Overall 3/5: It's not a horrible set, but as a Sakura Wars fan I would have liked it to be better.
