First off, a lot of these anime product descriptions are not very accurate at all. I could list quite a few but for the sake of being frank, I won't. As far as this product goes... There are a lot of these ''X: The Complete Series (DVD,2010,4-disc set)'' on the market but the product description doesn't tell you everything you should know. Firstly, the item description says it's 24 episodes. This is not entirely true. Sure, the show is originally 24 episodes long and all are included. However, it does not specify or notify the buyer that it also includes bonus features including the OVA. ''OVA'' stands for ''original video animation'' a.k.a. ''OAV'' stands for ''original animated video''. This makes it more like 25 episodes, so you're getting slightly more bang for your buck. Now that the technical description is updated I can move on to cosmetic details. This item is beatifully boxed with 4 thin pack sleeves. In my opinion, individual cases such as thin packs or standard dvd cases are the best. They offer maximum protection of the discs when they aren't combined by flaps to swing around freely, possibly damaging neighboring discs or it's own flap mechanisms, or over-lapping or stacked on top of one another risking scratching of the discs. Thin packs and standard DVD cases offer about the same protection but the thin packs (like the name suggests) are more compact and offer more space saving capabilities. If you're a big anime collector or fan like me, this product (as a product) is an all around great buy when you consider how it's boxed/cased and how it included the OVA along with the complete series. I feel it is only fair to judge this strictly as a product, not to review the show itself. For spoiler reasons and the fact that everyone's opinion may be different on whether or not they may or may not like the show I'll save my breath. Knowing the product has more to offer and how it is packaged may sway others to add this to their collection. I hope this review is helpful. Happy Shopping!Read full review
