Audio:
You can watch the show with either Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo Japanese or DD 2.0 stereo English. There is an option for English subtitles. I watched it in Japanese with English subtitles.

I didn´t think much of the background music when I saw the first DVD, but it´s growing on me. The voice acting and sound effects are good. While there isn´t much use of channel separation, this is a TV show that´s about a decade old, so you can´t expect everything. I didn´t notice any problems with the audio quality.

Extras:
There are few extras on this DVD. In the main menu, you get the bios of most of the main Raalgan characters in the series. I´d advise you not to read them though, they contain spoilers that aren´t revealed until a later DVD.

In the Bonus menu, the first extra is "Gallery". It contains short clips from various parts of the series that appear to follow no particular order or theme.

Second, there´s a spot for "Weblinks". It shows the URLs for the official North American "Irresponsible Captain Tylor" website and The Right Stuf´s own site.

Third is the "Special Thanks", a gigantic list of people and the town and state they´re from, including the my university´s anime club vice president, James Black. This is a list of the people who preordered the "Irresponsible Captain Tylor" DVDs, thereby making the project possible.

Finally, there´s the "Japanese Credits". The ending credits play with only the Japanese credits in English displayed.

--Miscellaneous--
The DVD doesn´t come with anything inside the case. In fact, the disc itself has little else but black text on it.

Film Value:
Despite the overall zaniness of the show, I´m hooked by the characters. At the center of it all is the enigmatic Tylor. At the end of the last review, I wondered who Tylor really was, the fool or the genius, and I still don´t know. I hope that he´s some kind of genius, but I´ll have to wait and see. How is this series going to end? I can´t even predict where it will go episode to episode, much less how the next entire DVD will go.

As a little side note, The Right Stuf put a notice on their website that they may decide to re-release the DVDs. There could be an art box, different DVD art, more extras, or anything. If you´re interested, now´s the time to head over to their website and let them know how you feel.
