Worth the wait!
I was aprehsinive about purchasing this set but have to say I'm glad I did. Despite a few issues, I'm overall pleased. First point is that shipping took longer than I'm used to. It's coming from China so it took about 2 weeks. Not a big deal at all but be aware. Also, the quality of some of the films are grainy. Not enough to have any real negative impact on the experience but don't expect crisp, blu-ray quality or anything like that, especially for the older films. You get 6 discs, 17 films in all. No bonus features and the simple playthrough gives you a title screen with audio and subtitle options. Although I checked the quality on all, I haven't watched through every single one but I did notice that Totoro had different voice actors and variations to the transcripts from the original. This didn't diminish the experience but it was noticeable to me, not really the kids. And on that note, being able to share these Studio Ghibli films and the beautiful world of Miyazaki with my kids is absolutely priceless. You can't find many of these films online in the US and for the ones you can, you can't get them all at this price! So if you're ok with a bit of a lower quality, longer shipping, and slight voice variations, you should take a chance on this. Sure glad I did!
