Now, this is more like it. What impressed me about this title was that the English is in normal Stereo, while the Japanese audio is in Dolby Digital 5.1 Normally it's the other way around. Since I can't stand English dubbed anime, this setup works great for me. The bonus features are stacking up to what Pioneer has done in the past, and it's truly appreciated. The transfer is also well done, with very few video artifacts. All in all I'm impressed. The only reason this didn't get a better grade is because there are only two 45 minute episodes on it. It could easiy contain the whole four episode series, plus all the added bonus material. Now, why didn't they do this good of a job on Street Figher: The Animated Movie DVD? Is that so much to ask?
