Tari Tari: Complete Collection [Blu-ray]

All in all a fine show, but the copy I got had one problem: the subtitles on the first disk got out of synch 3/4s of the way through the fourth episode. It seems that a subtitle was skipped, and worse, every subtitle after that was played when the prior subtitle was supposed to, to the wrong words were shown when anyone spoke. This of course destroyed immersion and made it difficult to follow what was being said. This continued all the way through the end credits and next episode preview - thank goodness it was the last episode on the disk! I am curious if other people purchasing the show had the same problem I did.Beyond that, this was, as noted, a fine show. As the title, 'Tari Tari' ('This and That') indicates, it's a show about various experiences a group of five teenagers go through during their last year of high school. This translates to them each having to deal with a personal problem or insecurity, some of which are rather significant and span multiple episodes. (And one or two of which aren't and don't. Hey, some people are just lucky.) The show does not pretend that all problems have easy answers, and at times the kids have to come away from it learning to deal with failure and personal loss. At times the show can become quite moving, though of course it does manage to close on a triumphant, happy note.Oh, and also there's a lot of singing. This you might have expected me to mention that first, since the singing club is the stated premise of the show, but in practice it doesn't seem as important as you might think. As often as not, the club is incidental to the problems and issues at hand, though it does always come back to prominence eventually.As for the singing itself, I'm not really qualified to comment on its variety or quality; it was, of course, basically all choral music, or more precisely that of a small vocal group. The voices themselves all seemed reasonably well sung, in my uneducated opinion; it also should be noted that the disks include no dub track, so there is no alternate set of voices to compare to and the potential problem of translated/undubbed songs never arises. It also of course means that this is not for people who hate subtitles.Extras are present and slightly more than the usual; in addition to trailers and creditless opening/closings, various Japanese commercials are included as well. A nice touch but nothing too exciting.So yeah - a pretty good drama, with occasional comedic elements. There are few or no 'wild takes', and no super deformity or other comedic staples. This is your straightforward 'coming of age'-type teen drama. With singing. Lots and lots of singing.

I'm not a believer in review the content of anime or movies in amazon reviews because the majority of interest is probably in the product itself. That being said, the DVD collection for Tari Tari so simple and straight-forward, there's not much to say about it. It does the job well and the price is very reasonable. I actually appreciate the fact that the DVD release has no English Dub as I'd rather it stay in its original language anyways. It's nice to see some lesser popular shows being sold in North America without being tainted by a dub rewrite. This is your basic DVD for fans of Tari Tari who want to show their support by owning this fantastic series! there's not much extra included in the DVD, but that shouldn't matter to a collector.

Tari Tari is a wonderful anime about a group of students who want to form their own choir/glee club. They're not out to save the world or win the race, they are on the threshold of adulthood and are aware all of their lives are going to change very soon. The characters are wonderful, the music is great and there's often times other things going on in the background that you might miss so a 2nd viewing is required! Fun, touching and gentle coming of age as the young women and men try to figure out who they are.

Is the story of 3 girl and 2 boys who are getting ready for graduation in a few years and you see them make their own club...i love their ideas and the support they give each other when each meets hardships... they are their for one another and the vice-principal misses the mother of one of the girl students because she died so young and in her prime and together they sung and were best friends which the young girl student would find from reflections of her mothers past while in the hospital... it is so cool! worth the time to see it all 3 dvd's the music and concern for each other comes out and helps their whole school realize friendship is!

Tari Tari has a wonderful animation as expected from the people working at P.A. WORKS and now that sentai filmworks has released on bluray, we will be able to experience all the quality that deserves this anime.To be honest I was so happy when was announced the bluray, nowdays anime from P.A. WORKS is better watching in HDIt's a series that shows us that everything can be accomplished by working as a team, learning from our mistakes, having fun with friends, staying together no matter what kind the situation is and unconditional supportAn anime for everyone!!!A TOTALLY WORTH IT SHOW!!

A sweet and well executed "slice of life" anime. Technically, the transfer is good and the background scenery is almost of Miayzaki quality, just gorgeous. And the difficult portions of having characters dance and sing was flawless.

Good

This anime will make you laugh, and cry. Lovely characters, great story line. A worthy purchase!

BD版は英語字幕が消せないとのレビューがあったので英語字幕無しで見れるというDVDを購入。DVD1枚に４～５話入ったディスクが3枚。国内のDVD再生機器は勿論、PS3、XBOX360でも再生できず。リージョンフリーのパナソニックDVD-S700（HDMIケーブル接続）で視聴。DVD再生後、話数選択場面で見たい話を選んだだけで日本語音声、字幕無しで見れるのはこれまで購入した海外版には無かった仕様。画質はDVDなのでBDのようにくっきりきれいとはいかないが、視聴するには全く問題程度にはきれいだと思う。次回予告が出た後、英語のクレジットが流れるがこれはスキップできるので苦にならない。リージョンフリー再生機器等を持っていて音楽アニメが好きな人にはお勧め。余談だが、1話目に声楽部がアニメ「true tears」の主題歌「リフレクティア」を歌っていたのにはちょっと驚いたｗ（調べて見たらアニメの制作会社が同じだった）

パナソニックのディーガDMR-BZT750で検証しました。英語の字幕がほぼ隠せます。BDをセットして再生してから「再生設定」－「基本設定」－「字幕設定」－「字幕位置」－「マイナス30」に設定すると字幕が画面の下にどんどん下がっていき、隠れて見えなくなります。たまに見えちゃう字幕もありますが、ほぼ気にならないかと思います。他のBDレコーダーでも出来るかもしれませんので試してみるといいかもしれません。

PowerDVD10、パナソニックのプレイヤーで再生できました。強制字幕(黄色の字幕)となっていますがPowerDVD10では、字幕を消して見ることもできました。画質はBlu-rayなので割と綺麗でした。日本版のBOXも出ていますが、特典は必要なく、字幕も気にならないという方は北米版を買ってもいいと思います。

普通のDVDやBDだと２話～３話ごとにディスクを入れ替える手間がありましたがこのディスクの場合BDの大容量を画質を普通のDVD並みに抑えて収録時間を最大限に生かしたディスク２枚で１～最終回まですっぽりとカバー＆日本国内版だと実現不可能のプライスで販売は大変ありがたいです。ヒロイン３名＋男子２名の５人の「合唱部」が最終回で勝ち組になるとは驚きです、それにしても文化祭に対しての理事長のやり方（ヤーさん顔も含めて）大人の風上に置けない「下衆」には真剣な怒りを感じました（無論早送りの刑です（笑い））
