Yay, disc 2 is here

Post by garamir »

Thanks, Amazon.

As with the first, the cover design is pretty darn nice. The art this time is Youko sitting down, Suiguutou covered, with Rakushun carrying a sack with his parasol. It comes with another liner notes sheet like the first one. The extra for this disc is the textless closing.

I just noticed that the Trailers item has clips from the preview shows playing in the behind-the-land strip, which is kind of weird with all the mechs and guns superimposed on the kingdom of Ren.

There's a preview for episode 8 hidden in the menus as well. ;)

None of the menus have the weird blurry interlacing I noticed on one or two of the first disc.

The audio is definitely stereo on this disc, as a quick check of the first episode confirms. See the scene where Sugimoto looks into the water and envisions Youko.

And there's Rakushun. Awesome.

Edit: I just noticed that the chapter subtitle ont he disc is still wrong, though.

Sometimes it becomes a pain when more is not done with our favorite pieces. It almost make you want to make a DVD from the fansub... Actually I am doing that with LAST EXILE so I can show it to my little sis and best friend (because they hate wathcing stuff on the computer... I have to say that If you encode it rite sometimes you can make the fan sub look better then the real on
