never, ever (!) buy the manga-r2 release of “Ghost In The Shell”… I made that mistake… Both audio tracks (english and japanese) are out of sync, the subs in general are badly synced, video quality is abysmal: severe interlacing/ghosting (i don’t know which frames they transferred, but it ain’t the original 24fps (more like “we’ll pick a few inbetween, so it’ll look really bad on a progressive displays) and it destroys the quality of the original animation) and compression artifacs (82mins in 2.4GB). is the us-release as bad? anyone know?

damn! now i’m looking for “love hina”, which unfortunately has 26 episodes… really good show; very funny (got up to #3), lots of people flying around and enough good-looking girls for everyone ^_^!
