Good series. Crisp introduction by Funimation for the blu ray release. Stories are intact, uncensored, and are episodic in format. Music is intact, Nujabes whom isn't with us anymore did a great deal of the soundtrack. Layered with hip hop ambient texture, wandering samurai vibe, and a touch classical with a major hint of modernism, is clever. The show produced in 2004 released dually in both Japan and the United States. Geneon released these separate singles, which I didn't get to complete because Geneon and the anime industry collapsed. 2010 finally brings these three discs, sheathed inside 3 plastic bays, housed within a cardboard box.
Screen size for optimum viewing is 32 inch LCD. Anything larger one could start to have issues with blurring, anti aliasing, and screen artifacts. Not sure about the DVD release, but upscale for High Definition is nice, and I hope Funimation figures out how to properly address the blu ray technology encoding process. Problem with blu ray titles with older works is scaling, and the process of which they were made with.
Otherwise if your a fan of Cowboy Bebop, episodic framework, and crazy hip hop house ambient music, this set is a must.
Thanks for reading.
