This first part deals specifically with the Premium Edition:
Only buy this edition if you're a die-hard fan of the series. There is a lot of conflicting information within the included artbook (i.e. a Dwarven character is repeatedly referred to as Human) and a lot of the premium physical bonus are rather lackluster (in my opinion,obviously.) As for what you get, you get a blank "grimoire" journal, a ribbon bookmark, another ribbon (for your hair), a lenticular image, a small artbook, 6 familia clings, a small poster, a box that holds the poster and ribbon, and the series on Blu-Ray and DVD (both in separate cases with reversible sleaves),all of which sits in a reasonably nice case, though mine was damaged in shipping. This sounds like a lot however, my issue is that the overall MSRP of $139.98 is too high even with all of that in mind (again, in my opinion.) I bought this through BB for $98.99, even including the rewards points and gift card balance I applied to my purchase beyond that I, honestly feel like my investment was unrewarded. I've bought several collector's editions over the years, artbooks, albums, games, and am an avid collector. I am not opposed to shoving my money at this kind of purchase and occasionally I get bit. This time, I got bit.
In any event, the conversion on the Blu-Rays is top quality. The audio is crisp. The dub, tolerable. Really what more could you ask for?
Buy this if, like me, you really enjoy and wish to support this series. Otherwise stick with the standard edition.
Hope this helps.
