Nadesico continues to be a show where most episodes feel fillerish to me. Throughout the track we had no issues at all, no dropouts, no distortion, just clean clear audio. The opening song in particular sounds very good, but the majority of the show tends to be dialogue and uses the center channel. On our setup, this disc looks markedly improved over the previous releases. Colors are very strong, there's hardly any line noise and jaggies are at a minimum.
Color banding is fairly minimal as well.
Things look quite good here through and through, without any of the softness or grain that we saw in earlier episodes. Giving the disc a spin in our Apex player though, the quality didn't look near as good as it did on our master setup. Here's hoping to replace the Apex soon. Out of all the releases so far, this is probably my favorite cover, even with the creepy water eyes that Ruri has. The image is taken from a very brief moment in the opening sequence, and with Ruri being a focus of one of the episodes here, it works well.
