Audio:
The audio presentation for this release brings us the familiar tracks we saw before with the original Japanese language in 5.1 as well as the English 5.1 mix, both of which are now encoded using the DTS-HD MA lossless codec. Similar to what we experienced with the DVD release previously, it’s a good mix overall but it’s not one that will wow you or knock your socks off, though it is better than a lot of standard stereo fare. And it definitely makes out better with the lossless form here as the action moments feel like they have a bit more impact. It’s not a constant or regular occurrence, but it does show up in a few key scenes to make good use of it. The show by and large is a forward soundstage piece that sounds very clean and precise in its placement which shines a lot throughout it. There’s a certain stillness to a lot of scenes so when the show does bring in the ambient music or sound effects, they’re more pronounced and have a better impact. While we listened to this mostly in Japanese, we listened to some of the English mix as well and had much the same experience and no problems with either track in general.
