Good DVD, NO previews, no ads (!!), just starts right to the GUI, which has a faint recording of some woman singing about her man, with a picture of Uma in b&w. 4 choices, so I hit "Start Film" and off to the races. Very little rear sound in the Dolby Digital mix. Very little. XLNT picture quality, and some of the b&w scenes look better than the color. XLNT sound quality. The whole picture doe seem to be bathed in a light orange\brownish tone, but that may be the new TV, or the video.

I didn't care for the first one. I didn't think it was worth the hype. My wife wants me to get part 2, so I probably will, but I'm in no rush.

  sitting behind Uma in the church. Keats her last name? Should be t...nevermind. Astoundingingly good looking. Future star.

    you noticed that girl in the backgrond too! I remember thinking, "wow, she's hotter than Uma!"
    I personally thought vol. I was more fun and hilarious. I really enjoyed the Japan scenes. Vol II seems a bit slow and boring to me. Not much swordplay or martial arts scenes compared to vol I.
    I don't know, if Tarantino set out to copy/parody the Martial Arts/Samurai genre, he really should have done so ALL THE WAY. I feel that he did it half-ass (possibly to dumb down to the Western Public?)

      KB1 was complete rubbish, worthless on every level. an insult to its audience as well to anime filmakers, and just about everyone else from Kurosawa to Bruce Lee, even Tom and Jerry. The only thing that can be said for it is that it does take a good deal of talent, and money, to create something so bad.
      is this what the classic revenge plot is reduced to? From Hamlet to this trash?

        or, perhaps, Tarantino deliberately made the most idiotic thing he could conceive, as a big joke. He wouldn't be the first.
        this is possible. How else can you explain something so stupidly bad?

        I just saw part 2.
        I was underwhelmed.
