A perfect DVD for anybody who enjoyed the good old days before the Fox channel became Jetix. Flint The Time Detective was one of my favorites while growing up, so I couldn't resist buying this DVD. The picture quality is decent for the time this DVD was made. It's not stunning but it's easy on the eyes. It kind of feels like I'm watching on the Fox channel years ago... almost like I went back in time! The sound quality is great too. Not to much to say about it really. There are no extra features on this DVD. You can view the episodes in chapters and watch a TV trailer but thats it. Considering that it's an old show and this DVD was made in 2000, this is as good as it gets. Now onto the content itself. For the time this was dubbed in the US, it's not all that bad. Some of the Japanese puns didn't translate so well so the dub company had to replace bits of dailouge with some not so great lines like: ~"Are you sure it was egg shaped?" ~"Yeah, it was oval." Aside from that, some of the acting was done well. There were some extra lines the dub trhew in that made me chuckle a bit even if most of them were not needed. Kids will enjoy this more than adults. The overal plot of each episode and concept for each time shifter is easy to follow compared to most anime plots. So there will be no confusion as you watch this. The characters are charming, the animation is good (expect some recycled animation from time to time) and its educational in a way. I would recommend parents to buy this for their children as this show not only has fun characters, but gives them a little bites of history too. Compared to the trashy cartoon shows aired on today's television, Flint The Time Detective sets a good example to kids. I really enjoyed this DVD and I plan on buying the complete series as soon as possible. On a rating out of ten I give this 8/10!Read full review
