**Update: This review was originally written for the part 1 limited edition box set, which has since been removed from amazon, not the standard Bluray collection. So I apologize for any confusion about this.
First off, I want to say that this review is NOT a review of the anime, but of this particular box set. I absolutely love this show and I was so excited for its release, but when I got my limited edition in the mail I was quite disappointed. The chip board box for it is huge, and they needlessly have 2 separate DVD sized cases for both the DVD and Bluray disks. Not only that but they put a special spot in the chip board box for the "extras", which honestly aren't all that exciting (silly temporary tattoos, cleaning cloth, and a lego sized key chain), instead of leaving space to put part 2. So you end up having to pay extra for a second special chip board box along with the part 2 limited edition, leaving you with 2 massive oversized chip board boxes for both part 1 & 2 that take up a ridiculous amount of space with random useless crap for "extras". It is such a waste of space and none of the extras really make it worth the additional costs, with the exception of the soundtrack that's set to come with part 2...they would have been better off including an actual figure and a poster or something for the extras, instead of temporary tattoos and a cleaning cloth, and then made the box set a bit more condensed and economical in size. And on top of that, I pre-ordered this months before it's release at about $120 which then dropped to about $98 and remained there, then on the day of the release the price dropped to like $78...its nice to think that they'd just screw over the devoted fans who were willing to pre-order the show in advance by dropping the prices so soon after we already paid so much for them. Needless to say I've returned it for a refund and plan on waiting until they release a complete collection or for the price to go down later on.
the show was good but not up to inuyasha or even yu yu hakisho level. the show was very well voiced and they made the mouths actually match the words, not sure if this was originally in Japanese or not because all the writing is not English but has translations. I'm a little confused as to why some of the reviews seem to be for a collectors edition and some are a box set, mine was just dvd's. this set of episodes is also pretty short, after you skip the credits and intro song on each episode the whole thing was only about 4-5 hours. at least it didn't end this set with a cliffhanger, not that there's a conclusion but its a good stopping point, he's not in the middle of rushing off to save someone or halfway through a fight. the overall reason I gave this a 3 rating is the packaging. If you shake the dvd box you can feel it rattling around because the thing that holds the center disk isn't tight to anything just a little clip thing. but it didn't cause any damage to the disks themselves. at least as of when I received it. Also there's no play all button but selecting the first episode does that anyway. And lastly the previews don't actually preview the shows that it lists. they are just music videos of explosions, bullets, and bouncing boobs. I kind of liked them but it tells me nothing about those shows other than the art style. but at 24 dollars I don't think I regret my decision to purchase it. but I don't believe I will get the next set unless I see it for sale pretty cheap.
