Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Complete Series

Best tv series, but received broken dvd

Ce coffret contient l'intégralité des 7 saisons de Buffy contre les vampires en DVD. Il s'agit de deux boitiers incorporés dans un étui protecteur en carton. La qualité des boitiers est top et l'esthétisme du coffret est carrément génial. Cependant, faites attention seules les deux premiers saisons du coffret sont en langues françaises, le reste n'est qu'en V.O. Donc pour moi qui connait la série et ses dialogues par cœur cela ne me pose aucun soucis au contraire je préfère de loin la V.O mais pour ce ceux à qui la VF est essentielle à leurs yeux évitez l'achat.

très bonne séries

La edición de esta colección es muy sencilla pero el contenido de los DVD's es muy bueno, los menús interactivos son de lo mejor y también los contenidos extra, el precio no considero que sea tan accesible a diferencia de otras ediciones más recientes y más completas, sin embargo la serie vale la pena y llego rápido y en buen estado.

(Note: I do not, in any way, endorse the problematic creator of this show or his abusive behavior. But I have always been of the opinion that film and TV is a collaborative medium, and that it's not fair to throw the hard work of dozens-- even hundreds-- of people just because of one bad egg. So I will continue to appreciate this show. But this is a subjective matter and I can understand others who cannot.) I was a bit late to the game with the shows "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and its spin-off "Angel." I saw a few random episodes in the 90s and early 2000s when it originally aired (courtesy my uncle who was obsessed with it), but I was a little too young to keep up with it. I didn't get around to watching them in their entirety until I was in my 30s, and furloughed from work in 2020 like so many others. And upon completing them, I was seriously kicking myself for not having watched them sooner. Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as Buffy Summers, who is seemingly just your ordinary teenage girl, worried about things like boys and homework. Except she's not just your ordinary girl - she is "the Slayer," a chosen one gifted with superhuman strength and agility, who is destined to do battle with vampires, demons and the forces of darkness! And together with her best friends Xander (Nicholas Brendon) and Willow (Alyson Hannigan), along with her "Watcher" Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), she must face non-stop adventure as her little town of Sunnydale is invaded by creatures and monsters over and over again. Unfortunately, one of the weird eccentricities of the series is the fact that finding the original, unaltered version in its entirety can be tricky. And so far as I can tell, DVDs are the only true way to guarantee you're seeing the entire show as intended. While it was indeed shot on 16:9 film stock, it was filmed with the intention of being cropped down to 4:3 fullscreen, since widescreen TVs didn't become the norm until the mid/late 2000s. And the image was composed with that in mind. But many streaming services seem to use weird uncropped 16:9 versions for later seasons (leading to many errors where you see things you aren't meant to), or even the show's dreaded disastrous HD remaster. (Which was completely botched by Fox and is borderline unwatchable due to excessive cropping and filtering.) So I was very happy to find out that the show is still readily available on DVD, especially with this set. And this set is GORGEOUS! From what I've gathered, it's essentially just a 20th Anniversary repackaging of the previously-released DVDs, with an additional single issue of the comic book and an adult coloring page, but I'm 100% fine with that. This set seems to retail right around $100-$120 depending on the seller, and that makes it slightly cheaper than buying each season separately, since they tend to retail around $18-$22 apiece on DVD/streaming. So if you want to own "Buffy" on physical media in R1 coding, this is the set to pick up! The packaging is just flat-out beautiful as well. The box has a nice, glossy sheen to it and feels very sturdy, and is large, but not in an obnoxious way. I have it proudly displayed on one of my movie shelves alongside "Angel." My only minor complaint is that, like a lot of modern sets, the synopsis and technical specs on the back were just a sheet that comes off once you remove the plastic. I'm not a fan of that. I'd rather have that information on the box than a stock-photo of the actors, but that's a massive nitpick on my part. I'm hoping that sometime in the future, the series will get the respect it deserves and get a true, proper HD upgrade that maintains the original 4:3 aspect ratio and isn't filtered into oblivion. But until that time, we at least have this set to appreciate the original, unaltered version of this iconic series. This is an easy 5 out of 5 for me. One of the best shows of the past thirty years. Solid value for the price. And beautifully packaged.

El paquete llegó en tiempo y buenas condiciones. Lo compre como regalo para mí esposa y ella sigue agradeciendomelo, buena definición, buen empaque. Nota: ojo con la región si son de México, tendrán que hacer algunos ajustes en su equipo reproductor.
