Have you encountered any problems so the discs so far, TheGreenMan? I just ordered this but have heard some bad things about NISA's previous releases. Oh, and lastly is this a BD25 or a BD 50?
I looks great to me. I haven't seen or had any problems with the discs far. Detail is great...and the audio is rich (for 2.0 anyway).

Say, I have a question for anyone who already has this set. Is there a fight in episode 4 that involves the ocean and a shark being split in two? Namely the Shichika vs. Sabi fight that was cut from the broadcast version?

That wasn't cut from the episode, that's just how the episode is. The novel is the same way as well.

Then why would they show it in the preview only?

And based on your response, I'm guessing that it wasn't included on the dvd/blu ray release?

Consider it a troll, albeit a troll where they delivered 3 good fights rather than only one good fight in an episode.

Can't add what doesn't exist

Two reasons:
A) That's the joke. It's the most epic battle of all time.... and the audience doesn't see it.

B) It's in the preview so as not to give away what the real action in that episode involves.

Because they were trolling.

The closing narration in episode four even says viewers might be scratching their heads at what happened in the episode.

Just got mine. Nice art book, although it's weird to me that the term glossary (which is huge) isn't in ABC order.
