3.0 out of 5 stars Why can't these reviews be honest?, December 7, 2009

By

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Digimon Limited Edition Collectors Box Set: The Complete First Season (DVD)

Digimon is one of my all time favourite shows, so to see this available, it felt too good to be true.
Well yes, and no.

I'm satisfied with my purchase, but despite what many of the reviewers are saying, THIS IS A BOOTLEG.
Before this boxset was available on amazon, I had downloaded torrents of Digimon, and my torrent uploads are clearer and better quality than this boxset. Like a reviewer said before me, everytime someone moves, the motion is blurred. And the menu set up is painfully lazy.

I'm not sure what all this talk about a Canadian import is either. Like, really? Are there people out there that are silly enough to believe that? I bet the people who believe that are also wiring money to princesses in third world countries as well. It's a sham, but a well made sham, that will most likely satisfy none the less.

But I have to say, this is the fanciest bootleg I've ever seen. It looks so real on the outside.
I say it's worth the money anyway. The quality may not be perfect, but atleast you'll have the entire collection on dvd.

I hope the real owners to the rights of Digimon release an official boxset someday. That would be a dream come true.

If anything, please, please, please believe me when I say this is a bootleg, before you consider paying for it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Series, Great packaging, Poor presentation, July 28, 2008

This review is from: Digimon Limited Edition Collectors Box Set: The Complete First Season (DVD)

When I first saw this, I bought it without hesitation. I was a huge fan of the digimon series and was waiting a long time for a full season release. All 54 episodes from the first season are present. The outside packaging is eye-appealing as well.

Now onto the bad. My first gripe is the menu screen. I have 2 options: Play movie (movie huh?) or scene selection. If you choose scene selection (which I can only assume is an episode selection), small circles playing short clips from the episode appear. Besides the small clip, you have no other way of knowing if it is the episode you want. They are not titled and are numbered 1-9 on each disc, leaving you only to reference the actual box set to figure out what episode you want to watch. Not very convenient and only a little bit of effort would have solved this.

My second problem is the video quality. Now, I do not know if this happened in translation, or was always there but I just did not notice due to the quality of cable TV, but any moment when there is actual movement on the screen (or when the frame changes), you get a slight fuzzy look at that part. For example, if a character moves his mouth, his mouth becomes fuzzy. Slowing down and freezing this frame by frame, it seems like it meshes the image of the current and previous frame in alternating bars. It really bothered me to know they messed this up. I endured, and got used to it after 9 or so episodes.

I love the series, and I saw that season 2 was recently released. As much as I want the content, I am hesitating to buy season 2 based off of the way season 1 was presented. Buyer beware.

I bought the DVDs and read these reviews and i haven't had any problems. I love the show and really could care less about some crappy bonus features. I paid the money and i got what i wanted, a great show. They play great and the episodes are even better without commercials. :) No problems 5 stars
