Nineteenth Night: MIRROR: A class project of sorts turns dangerous when some mirrors create duplicates of the cast. The duplicates seem to have all the knowledge of their originals but none of the social barriers or sensibilities with regard to keeping secrets. The sad this was, were they representing reality better, or worse, and would they cause the team to fail?
Twentieth Night: TRAP: While trying to attack the hidden enemy base, the crew learn that a series of traps may well spell the end for them. How they eventually beat the odds made for an interesting episode.
Twenty-first Night: DEATH: When a key team member is captured, the impression is that she died. How this effects her friends will prove a turning point in this already twisted show.
Twenty-second Night: LIFE: This episode reaffirmed aspects of the cast's inability to accept defeat in face of insurmountable odds. By choosing life, they might well hold the key to winning the battle, if not the war.

Picture: The picture was presented in 1.85:1 ratio widescreen. The picture was not the clearest I've seen lately but part of that is almost certainly an attempt at atmosphere and mood. In other words, it fits what's going on. The anime style itself was not cutting edge but okay for this type of show.

Sound: The audio choices are either Japanese or English in 2.0 stereo. Again, this wasn't the clearest audio track but it set the mood quite well. I preferred the original Japanese track this time as well.

Extras: The dvd included a "warp file #5" which provided some background information on the show.There was a production art gallery and a paper insert that also gave some information, albeit in a indirect manner. The dvd cover was two sided and it also had a large character foil card inside the case. I really liked this foil card as a collectible.

Final Thoughts: It's hard to believe that there's only one more dvd to go before the end of the series. My fingers are crossed that it will reveal enough background that when I get the earlier episodes and watch them all at once, I'll understand the bigger picture. With all the sub-plots and minor character interaction, this show seems to have more depth than most other anime I've watched. Of course it might end up with the whole thing being really lame but that's not too likely given the overall quality of the script. If you just want a show to toss in and watch while doing your homework, you're not going to get much out of this one. Otherwise, it seemed worthy of a high recommendation (it's growing on me with each viewing).
