The boxes

Really!? So it is soft-subs? My DVD player remote has the "Subtitles" button. Pretty handy when I don't feel like going back to the menu in the middle of an episode. Anyway, maybe I should be getting this boxset once ADV has renewed them all...but then again there's the audio. Argh...-_-

They're not "soft" in the sense that many people think; i.e., it's not an option using the discs' menus, since the only option there is picking the episode you want. But yeah, using the "subtitles" button, you can choose whether or not to have them displayed.

You people are insane...

Now for the other question. Do they have annoying English credits scrolling smack-dab in the middle of the screen?

Otherwise known as the left analog stick...

^_^;; believe it or not, I discovered the ability to change subtitle/language options with the PS2 controller by accident...

And what's so annoying about English credits? I vastly prefer them to Japanese credits because I can read them.

I prefer the Japanese to the English because

A. It's fun to watch little symbols scroll up the left side of my screen ^.^

B. They don't block the pictures!

And Sailor X? Yes...unfortunantly...hmm...I wonder if you can turn the credits off with the subtitle button?

I think they went with English ending credits because not all of the VA credits are identical from episode to episode. Alternation would have been nice but it would have cost VA credits.

I don't see what's so annoying about having the opening and ending credits in English, or having the subtitles in romanji. I prefer knowing what it says, because unlike you maybe able to, I don't know the Japanese language.

Remember when I said that the Japanese version could be seen? I checked this when watching my R boxset, and you can...sort of. I only checked this on the second R themesong though, and it doesn't work on endings. For the translation and romanji, they layed the english words over the Japanese ones. If you turn the subtitles to 'off' you can see the kana for the song. But the translations of the Japanese names won't go away, but you can see the lyrics in their Kana form. I know this doesn't work on box one, I'm too lazy to check the first themesong of R, but from what I watched, (Defeat Rubeus! Final Battle in Space) and on, I know it works there.

I agree. I love having the romanji there, becuase it helps me learn the song faster. It's how I learned many Japanese songs.

I am the complete opposite here...no matter how much romanji or how many lyrics you give me, I'll never learn the words to songs I like ^^;;

off topic: LOL I'm very musically inclined, so I pick up lyrics like that. I learned all of Moonlight Densetsu after hearing it maybe..twice? I took an intelligence test regarding Gardner's intelligences, and I got Musically intelligent. My mother always says "that's not even normal!!" when I belt out with a japanese song.

<OT> I've seen all of Classic three times, without skipping over the opening, and I still don't know the exact words to Moonlight Legend. It's THAT bad for me :P </OT by way of stick>

For all you people saying that you can see the kanji, you might be able to. On the Fruits Basket DVD, in the OP and ED, you can press the angle button and it switches from English to Kanji. It might work, I dunno.

I'll have to try that next time I watch the S1 DVDs...I know the eps themselves don't do anything funny when you change the angle (at least not on WinDVD).

Don't know about teh subtittles but I like the romanized version like Tiff aisd it's easier to learn the songs that way.

But the sound for me I got use to it and after a while I didn't notice it was tha bad first episode I noticed it by teh sith I had gotten use to the sound quality.

The first Box set still has the same problm wiht episode 24 if you go to buy them
