Kuusou Kagaku Edison Chapter 6 7 8 5 4 3 2 1

The only extra on the main disk is a Japanese audio commentary for the first episode, which is located on the “Scenes” menu for episode 1 and features obviously (and deliberately?) drunk members of the Japanese vocal cast. A second included disk contains a substantial list of extras, including company and series trailers, a gallery of images of orbital trash which have made their way back to Earth, two rather funny audio dramas which stem off from scenes in the series, and an array of interviews. English vocal cast members Kirk Thornton (Hachirota) and Julie Ann Thornton (Ai) each get some screen time, as does ADR director Tony Oliver. These interviews are rather inane and provide little real insight, but it's always interesting to associate faces with the voices. The feature interview is with two members of NASA's Orbital Debris Section, who outline the current state of affairs about orbital trash and what is being done about it, which is much more interesting. Conspicuously absent is a clean opener which allows a viewer to see print on the screen without the subtitles in the way, but hopefully that will show up in a future volume. As with the volumes of Otogi Zoshi recently released by AnimeWorks, both disks of this Bandai Entertainment release are included in a normal-sized DVD case, a trend I dearly hope continues. The slip cover for the case contains all the print, allowing the actual case cover to display unblemished artwork – a nice touch.
