The
1.33 X 1 image is a little soft and Dolby Digital 2.0 sound only slightly
stereo at best, but the art is exceptional and extras include Special Audio Options (Dub your
own OMG, Commentary), Interview with Producer Toru Miura, Inside Nekomi Tech
(school manual, newspaper, and ID), Character Cards, Character Designs, Karaoke,
Image Gallery, Program Notes and Trailers.
I love the fact that this finally came in a box set and you can
watch a complete series at time along with all those extras. With this first OAV series it is a great
introduction to a series that spawned an entire generation of devoted fans.
