It arrived. I haven't watched in depth, but I had a look at the first episode. First, it's what I thought--these are the German broadcast versions, so when the title comes up at the start of the episode, it's translated into German (the other credits, like "Created by Jhonen Vasquez" are untouched). The transfers are standard def PAL derived, of course, and while I didn't notice any ghosting, there is quite a bit of noticeable macroblocking. All the features seem to be present, so for $20 shipped from Amazon.de it's a decent deal, but hopefully the US will get something better to coincide with the release of the new movie. I didn't check if it's Region Free, will do that tonight.
