Not a complaint, but I would have thought they'd put the BDs all in one case and the DVDs all in one case.

4 episodes on the 1 Blu, 2 episodes + extras on the second Blu. Episodes are about 10 gigs each.

Edit: Updated with PNGs and stupid JPEGs.

Looks pretty nice from what I can see. I heard there were problems in the past with NISA's releases. Any here?

You might want to retake those shots as pngs. While jpegs at highest quality are just about indistinguishable from pngs, mpc-hc uses a pretty high compression level for jpeg screenshots, and you can't change it as far as I know. It introduces quite a bit of banding and compression blocking that isn't in the original. Your second screenshot should look closer to this (from the JP BD):

Ah...shit. I should know better.

Edit: Okay. PNGs up.

Thanks for posting. Looks as good as I remember the JP BDs looking, can't wait til mine arrives.

Thanks for the caps! These cant get here soon enough. My tracking number just updated to show they are a state away this morning. Which usually means, unless I get some kind of miraculous saturday delivery.... Tuesday at the soonest

So, um, how are the translations? That whole "Klesha Bringers" thing during the license announcement has me a bit uneasy. Also, this being one of the first NISA BD releases, what is the subtitle styling like? Did they go the FUNimation route (tiny font, virtually no border), or choose something more legible?

I just got my shipping notice in a few hours ago.

I take it there are no big ugly problems with either the DVD or BD?
