REVIEW: Black Lagoon DVD 1

just out of curiosity , has anyone here had trouble with the 5.1 surround sound on this dvd, when i select it in my system there is no sound, 2.1 works fine but not the 5.1.

Did anyone else notice that there is a reversible cover on this release? Much like Bandai's Witch Hunter Robin and Gundam 0083, the other side of the cover has a different layout and images, but has all of the relevant data. Either cover would serve well as a cover and I might have problems remembering which one was used by Geneon marketing if the paper wasn't pre-scored.

I didn't have a chance to see my disc yet but damn do I love that metal case. One thing that kind of irked me the wrong way was that the sticker was placed on case instead of on the wrapping which really burns my goose. Cause now I need to buy goo be gone. But other wise I love the look and feel of the case, and I do like how the individual dvd will fit in the case very sweet.

You don't need some special substance like Goo Be Gone, actually. Common adhesive release chemical (which can be bought through several brands, or fairly cheaply in bulk) and a cotton swab gets thick, sticky residue off just fine especially from smooth surfaces (like metal or glass), and it evaporates fast; alternatively, I THINK common rubbing alcohol does OK too, but I can't quite remember how often I've tried it. I know it works on the icky gum that eventually gets into track balls for computer mice, and tends to get sticky stuff cleaned off quite nicely from things like hands or plastic, so it would make sense. I work in a framing/restoration shop, and we never use Goo Be Gone for something as simple as residue from tape or a sticker, we just use the adhesive release (teh cotton swab is just there to rub the stuff around so it comes off, by the way).
