I just recieved this boxed set today. I had seen this anime previously via Netflix Instant Streaming and fell in love with it. Its certainlay not a show for children. Viewer discretion is advised. This anime contains sex, violence, BDSM, and more violence. Its about a photagrapher named Tatsumi Saiga who was previously a war photographer. Now works as a tabloid photographer. He infiltrates a secret club for the ultra rich and beautiful. If you have the yen, you can make any and every fetish of yours a reality. He spots a young 15 year old girl that is being forced to use her "talents" in order to entertain the club members. Saiga decides to rescue the girl from the club and set her free. Its an emotional joy-ride. There are comedic moments, heart-breaking moments, and everything in between. I recommend this series to anyone, especially if your an anime fan. Even if you're not an anime fan, give this series a go. Not all anime are meant for Children. This isn't a cartoon.
The packaging is different from the original boxed set release of Speed Grapher from Funimation Entertainment. Its a single plastic DVD case containging 4 discs, 6 episodes per disc. Special features include textless opening and closing with music and trailers showcasing other Funimation titles. Don't be decieved by the specifications on this site. No audio commentary available. The audio features 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound, regular Dolby Digital Sound quality English track, and Original Japanese language track.

18+ anime. 24 ep. 600 min.
I do not own this set. I own the first box set that came with six disc and a lot of extras! If u can get that one!
This is an amazing show! I'm more into the adult anime, not hentai but the ones where u have to think and there's very little comedy. So if you are like me then you will enjoy speed grapher too! There's so much I want to say about this show but I feel like I would give things away if I did. I will say I did end up caring for the "bad" guys at the end. Some anime shows endings suck and just end with out finishing some plots. This show has a good ending.

The video was as good as I had hoped. Speed of delivery was excellent. Not pleased the English closed caption text does not match the spoken word, especially when strong profanity is spoken. Text should always match the spoken word. Packaging should better warn potential viewers/buyers of graphic language and some nudity. Didn't bother me, but some parent my flip out. Perhaps this is expected with adult swim type anime.
