| Hand Maid May
DVD Opinions
I have bought the complete Hand Maid May Region #1 Collection, and I
think it's a pretty good DVD collection. The DVDs have some
interesting features that I personally love, and only lacks a few
desired features. The DVDs of course posses the English and
Japanese Language tracks.
Menus
While not too impressive there are some very interesting
additions. When you initially start the DVD it gives you some
English voice narrations, telling you what menu this is and your
choices. If you go to the Language menu and change to Japanese,
the menu narrations are now in Japanese, "Main Menu Des", May
Japanese Language Track
As far as I can tell, I have no complaints or problems with the Japanese
track. (By the way, I prefer the Japanese track)
English Language Track
I feel that the English track is very good. There are no
questionable dialog changes (that I can remember), there is even a little Japanese thrown in
here and there. The voices are pretty close their Japanese
counterparts and there are some very good attempts at sticking to
the Japanese dialog despite language and cultural differences.
Video
As far as I can tell the video is very good, no major noise or
pixelation. My only complaint is that the Japanese Opening and
Ending Credits are not in any way included in any of the DVDs.
While I suppose it is not required, I very much prefer if this is
included on a DVD. And as far as I can tell there are no overlays
or modifications to the video which is a definite plus.
