MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH OVA PS4
The Rayearth OVA is interesting as you can see the top part is not lined up if you set the aspect ratio correctly on your TV (I tested it on both PS3 & PS4 – the PS3 filled the screen whereas the PS4 has its original view like the TV series would). The master has Japanese intro and ending, I’m going to assume this is based on the Japanese NTSC master rather than the previous UK & US releases which usually have English credits instead.īoth Magic Knight Rayearth and Rayearth shows are presented in its original 4:3 aspect ratio layout. Rayearth‘s white subtitles are locked during playback and the DVD disc is region locked to 2.

Like the other Anime Limited sets, this release is 1000 units only and I received my copy early as part of pre-ordering the set during their early bird sale. The digipack is larger than the previous part due to including a total of four discs rather than three. A rigid box that houses a digipack which contains the discs and for this part a couple of art cards to accompany the set.
