Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Why do I love Amazon? They get me my merch early. I'll get to the point: This is a great set. I like the packaging, it feels good and while I'm normally against the cardboard sleeve style, the discs smoothly slide in and out with no issue. The booklet contains Miyazaki's proposal and intentions for each film project, which is fascinating for fans and gives insight to the way a genius director operates. To those concerned about the "dubtitles" issue from previous Disney/Ghibli releases, the options for Castle in the Sky, Kiki, and Mononoke(and every other disc I checked) include two separate English options: English(the direct translation) and English For The Hearing Impaired(transcript of the dub). I tested Kiki, Mononoke and Castle with English audio and English subs. They're different scripts. So, if this was a sticking point for anyone, don't let it be. On the other hand, the reason I can't give 5 stars is that there are ZERO special features for any of the films, and no they're not all on the special bonus disc. For the price it would have been nice to have a truly complete set, but who am I kidding I wasn't going to watch any of that. Still, for those who are you are going to need the individual releases. tl;dr - 1)good packaging 2)sweet booklet 3)true English subs 4)no special features 5)very satisfied!
