Warner Bros Friends: The Complete Series (Repackaged/Blu-Ray)

First and most important, the video of this entire series is luxurious, gorgeous. The colors are deep, rich, and beautifully saturated. The quality is fantastic. Second, the video is not in the original full screen 4:3 ratio, but instead in the more common wide screen 16:9 that we are used to now. It is NOT letterboxed but instead reveals for the first time the full video that they captured at the time, apparently thinking forward to the time when 16:9 would be the standard. Some complain by saying that video at the edges are too revealing, but I watched both versions of the disputed scenes and found no problems with them. As for the audio, it is 5.1 throughout. It might have been nice to suppress the audience laugh track, but it did not really detract from the viewing experience. Still, the quality was high throughout the series. The packaging is not cheap even though they aggregated all of the Blu-rays into two sets of 20 discs (plus the bonus disc). Each season is packaged on two Blu-rays, and each disc typically had a couple of commentaries, with the second disc containing extras like gag reals. The bonus disc included more gag reels and some retrospective videos along with interviews on TV shows. Now my confession: I never saw a single episode of this series prior to now. Not one. I got this set so that I might fill in some of the cultural references that I missed out on at the time. I certainly got those, like "taking a break," but also grew to appreciate the show as the years advanced. I thought that the last three years became funnier over time and truly appreciate the jokes and characters, especially the Joey reactions and Phoebe proclamations. Altogether, it was a wonderful series.

フレンズ大好きなのでいつでも見れるようにブルーレイ買いました。 ただ、日本語字幕が出ないんですが仕様でしょうか？他の方のレビューで日本語字幕があると見ましたが、英語や中国語などの字幕はありますが日本語が出てきません。機器の設定でしょうか？英語字幕で見てますが、できれば日本語字幕で見たいです。

海外のドラマにハマっているので、ブルーレイは収納にもコンパクトに収まり、画質がいいので気に入っています。

Excelente! Aunque la calidad de imagen no es tan buena, si es la version original con todos los subtitulos y audios para escoger. Me llego bien empaquetada aunque por alguna razon los discos estaban un poco humedos como sudados como si ya tuvieran tiempo guardados en alguna bodega. Pero limpiandolos se quitan facilmente.

Excelente! O box inclui um disco só de extras, além de vários episódios comentados. E o melhor: possui legendas em português :)
