Rating: 
- Great mixture of content
There is a great mix of violence, drama, and comedy that not much anime offers.The only problem is the ending.A must see!

- Great DVD, definitely different.
First of all... not for children. Very violent, and some nudity.
A great addition to my anime collection. It has one of the most riveting opening scenes I've seen in anime. Story and art are both good. I hope there will be a continuation of the series later.
Recommended for fans of Ghost in the Shell, Vampire Hunter D, etc.

The first disc has previews but other than that there is no other special features, which I actually like because the price reflects that and since I never watch the special features, I'm not paying extra money for something I won't watch.
