Usual bare-bones Mei Ah stuff; there isn't even a menu screen. As for the transfer, it's up to par for Mei Ah -- things look a bit washed out and the sound mix is a bit fuzzy, but it's okay overall. The major sticking point are the sometimes hard-to-read burned-in subs. This is a decent DVD, but don't pay too much more than $10 for it.

Note: this review is for the new version, but I believe that there are no difference between the two versions other than the cover artwork.
