Great show, bad case

"It isn't often I give 4 starts, in fact I don't think I have ever, but there was one thing that killed me with this. From the outside the case is nice, it is a simple 27mm 6 disc case. On the inside, it is 1 awful spindle that stacks the discs on top of each other. One of my biggest pet peeves is stacking discs. I hate it so much, I am actually ordering a second copy of Cowboy Bebop just to switch the cases, then pawn Cowboy Bebop for a few dollars but what a waste. Fortunately, most people don't have crazy bad OCD's like me.

Now then, on with review. This product is really great in my opinion because it puts 2 great, entirely different shows together in one nicely sized and priced case. There are 6 disc with 6 episodes on each. The first 4 contain the first season. I don't remember any special features other than trailers which is perfect by my standards. English and Japanese dub, though the English is alright, I'd suggest the Japanese dub. If you enjoy good stories with comedy added in them, this show is for you. I absolutely loved this show. Now for the other 2 discs, you got Fumoffu. I loved this show just as much as the first season, but in a whole other light. Even though it has the same characters, I consider it a completely different show. No story, just side splitting humor. These discs are the same as the others when it comes to features and languages.

So if you are looking for a solid collection, grab this box set. Though the case is annoying, it's overlook-able for the amazing quality of everything else."
