4.0 out of 5 stars Still gets 4 stars, despite one BIG DVD flaw., July 16, 2007

This review is from: IGPX - Complete Season 2 Collection (Toonami Edition) (DVD)

While I normally wouldn't review IGPX DVDs outside of my website, I think it is worth mentioning one big point that I believe consumers need to know before going out to buy this set on this site. The 5.1 Surround sound does not work properly. Instead of providing genuine 5.1 channels of sound, it fronts all 5 channels to the front 3 channels, and then the back 2 channels barely output any sound. Bandai (the publisher/distributor) won't fix it or replace it because it still outputs some sound, so they can claim that it is a 5.1 mix, but anyone with a 5.1 setup can tell it is not.

I am still giving it 4 stars for a rating because that only affects about 1% of the consumers buying this set. That's because the 2.0 mix works fine. It is definitely something you should know before buying. It's actually rather odd, as the Season 1 set and all other IGPX DVDs prior did not have this problem. It's a big deal to me, because I am an audiophile. It's not just that-it's just I really wanted to hear these episodes in 5.1 sound. However, that issue doesn't change the 2.0 Stereo mix, and that is awesome. The music and sound effects that were added/changed from the other volumes for the Toonami version that was aired on TV are all excellent. While some episodes suffer from a few seconds of cut footage, the majority stay in tact, and provide excellent sound experiences.

Also keep in mind that there is no Japanese audio, but that's what the other DVDs are for. This set also includes numerous extras, including audio commentary for some episodes, and promos. Overall, you will likely appreciate this set if your a fan of the show, and don't mind some cut footage. Just be warned that if you are that 1% who is buying this thinking you'll hear true 5.1 surround sound, you won't. I thought I could actually get into these sound mixes, but I was very disappointed. At least I can somewhat enjoy them, but it is really sad to listen to stereo quality sound (especially when the other DVDs are 5.1 quality) on a 5.1 system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the show but it deserves more, April 3, 2010

First off, let me say that this is an amazing show, not to mention one that is overlooked way way too often. The only real problem i have is that i don't think the DVD format does this show justice in terms of visual quality. This show deserves the blue ray treatment and anyone who is a fan of this show will understand why i say that. The visuals and audio tracks are amazing to begin with, but why constrain the show to the dvd format?

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, Baby!, January 25, 2010

This review is from: IGPX - Complete Season 2 Collection (Toonami Edition) (DVD)

Anime with two seasons are great. The first season, while good on its own, serves as an introduction. The second season takes the audience's familiarity with the series and tries to spin it into new areas. It worked for Production I.G.s other series GitS:SAC, and a similar approach can be observed here in IGPX.


You know from the end of last season, that !!SPOILERS!! Team Satomi won the championship. /END. Well, the second season starts with dealing with the pressure of wining. On top of that, as early as the second match something happens that totally changes the face of the game. While the first season focused mainly on Team Satomi, this season the other teams are featured more noticeably. The action gets kicked up a few notches and finishes with something too crazy/awesome to be believed/spoiled.

The unique voice cast are all present. And, of course, there's a great set of extras including Voice Actor interviews, and commentary on four episodes. Also the language is turned up a bit for the second half of the series. Nothing taboo, not the Four Letter Words, just the normal: Hell, Damn, Crap.


Sometimes I worry that I simply buy every anime I watch and that I don't really like them. But I popped IGPX in on a whim and still managed to watch the whole series. Get it before it's gone.
