Or you can rent each disc individually:
WARNING! Do not rent disc 2 in this set. You get exactly the same set of episodes, but with DTS sound. I wish the description (or a previous reviewer) had warned me of this, then I wouldn't have wasted the rental. As for the episodes they are very enjoyable and action packed, with great animation. The title sequence is gobsmacking!
The episodes on this disc were exactly the same as Disc 1 but had a DTS soundtrack instead. I was disappointed as I wanted to see more of this series. I'll have to wait for other volumes.
