I received my copy today, and was planning on watching it after I finish KR Agito, but I couldn't wait. I popped in the disk and watched the first ep.
What can I say? I knew nothing about the show, but I love all things giant, and hearing some of the good comments about the show I decided to pick it up. The show itself seems like a lot of fun. Some nice characters, and some nice robot designs. I also like the fact that the story continues from one episode.
However, I have some problems with the subtitles. It's not a good sign when the second set of subs to appear have a misspelled word in it. Misspellings kept cropping up throughout the entire ep. Also, the timing was off on several occasions. The sub would flash off or change to the next set before I was finished reading it. Now, I'm not a super fast reader, and I'm certainly not the slowest around, but the timing needs to be better.
Also, where was the option to turn off the subtitles? I don't speak japanese, but many other fans do and would probably enjoy the show more if there were no subtitles popping up.
This can't be the best work BCI can offer. If they want me to continue to buy their toku releases, then these problems need to be addressed.
At least, that's my opinion.
