I'd like to address the negative reviews that have started to come in.

My full breakdown of the contents of each disc:

I don’t hold this against Amazon, since I’m sure they would have honored an exchange if I had reported the issue in time. Since it took me a few weeks to open my set after buying it, I wasn't able to exchange it for an un-broken version in time. I should also note that my Blu-ray copy of Bebop arrived with two of the nubs holding each disc in place broken off, which fell out of the box when I first opened it. There are sections of the menu with only two options (when picking between Japanese and English audio, for example) where this can be confusing even if you know what to look for. As others have mentioned, the way selections are made in the Blu-ray menu is counterintuitive: the item that is greyed out is selected and the items that are highlighted in white are not. It would have been nice to have the option to watch one episode at a time. All episodes on each disc are combined into one long clip on the two Blu-ray players I tested, even when choosing a single episode from the main menu (for example, choosing the second episode on a disc will place you at around the 21-minute mark of a 3+ hour clip of all episodes combined). English subtitles are tied directly to the Japanese audio track, so your only viewing options are English audio with no subtitles, or Japanese audio with English subtitles. You must back out to the main menu to make changes. You can’t switch audio/subtitle options during playback, so you won’t be able to compare audio tracks on the fly. While there is an option to watch the original sequences on their own on disc 3, and Funimation did a great job with the translated sequences (mostly matching the original's visual style), the Japanese sequences are memorable, and it would have been nice to have the option to watch each episode unaltered. Personally, I’m glad the original animations were used.Īdditionally, the original opening and closing sequences for each episode have been edited to replace the Japanese credits on-screen with English translations. To remedy this upscaling issue, these assets would have had to have been re-created in HD, which could have risked altering the style of the original (see Ghost in the Shell 2.0, Star Wars on Blu-ray, blegh!). As other reviewers have noted, this is because the show's CG graphics were originally generated in standard definition (in 1998!) and have been upscaled to HD for this release. That said, CG graphics in some scenes do look slightly blurry. What you need to know is that every episode is here in its original aspect ratio (4:3) in glorious HD, as it should be, with both the original Japanese audio with English subtitles and an excellent English dub done by Funimation. Funimation has done a stellar job bringing this Blu-ray set to North America, and while it is THE definitive way to watch the show in English, there are some nagging usability issues which should be noted.
