This is a very good movie, although short. The special features are really nice, including both original short films. I would give the set five stars; but the "English Audio" stated in the details isn't entirely accurate. Most of the film is in English; but somewhat garbled by the masks the characters wear at times. During a key conversation in the movie, however, the characters switch to Japanese and there are no English subtitles. The included storyboard booklet does include English translations of most of the dialogue for the scene; but it isn't convenient to follow along in the book on your first viewing.
