Woo, so after one false start with the DVD player earlier this week I got to check out the first Saikano DVD. For the most part I’m stalled on DVD buying, but I am letting myself get two or three a month (which I have to say is very very difficult). Saikano is one of those ones I’ve kind of reserved a buying spot for. I found it to be one of the most beautiful and sad shows I’ve ever seen. And, for once, it is being released with english subtitles in Japan.
They did a pretty good job with it. It is letterboxed, since the show was a widescreen show. It isn’t anamorphic, in case people were wondering. But it’s still really well done. It makes you realize how low quality digisubs are for the most part. I got the set with the box and the Chise figure. The box is really nice and will look quite cool on my bookshelf. I should see if I can find a picture of it to post here.
