I have to give this 20th Anniversary Buffy set 3 stars...which as a hardcore and avid Buffy fan feels a little like a betrayal to the show for me! lol But the picture quality on the discs so far (I've watched into season 2 of 7 so far) are SO bad. Nothing has been digitally remastered. They are fuzzy, there is grit and snow in most of it. I mean, I was going for nostalgia when I bought the set, I just didn't think the picture quality was the same as 20 years ago when I was watching with rabbit ears on TV. But it is really that bad. Blu ray and HD has me spoiled these days, I suppose. And the audio is just your basic surround sound, nothing fancy. I do like the re-vamped cover art, menu screens, and the box set packaging is very cool and convenient. They just really need to make a blu ray quality, digitally remastered, upgrade for picture quality. You can see and hear the story line in a very basic capacity, but that's about all I can say for the quality of the DVDs. I almost wonder if the DVDs themselves aren't FROM 20 years ago!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a coming of age story for the Y2k generation. Every character in the series is well drawn, relatable, and it doesn't matter if they are the "good guys" or the "bad guys" every character is well rounded and a representation of the kaleidescope that is humanity. The backdrop of good vs evil is timeless, yet the creators and directors of the series bring a modern lense to this classic trope that is at once engaging and comforting in its familiarity. There's no way you can watch Buffy and not fall in love. Enjoy!

I grew up watching this show and often enjoy going back to watch things reminding me of my early years. Yes some of the stories and effects are cheesy compared with todays films and technology, but for me it is about story line and nostalgia. I am thoroughly entertained and occasionally binge this series for a trip down memory lane. If you like witty banter and action in a dark sort of way, I would recommend this series. Don't watch this if you are looking for anything serious and just enjoy a good story with sarcasm and one liners.

This show was my life for 7 years. And I never stopped loving it. I used to catch reruns on tv then went into binge mode on Netflix. Now it's finally mine. Went full on nerd about it and have lots of memorabilia and even a custom tattoo made for the spuffy of it all! Buffy the Vampire Slayer is life! Lol.

The DVD set was nicely packaged, and very cool; it was obviously sealed and brand new as advertised, but I've watched 2 or 3 of the discs so far and every one had some freeze-frame glitches on several episodes, and strange places where they abruptly cut several seconds off a scene (obvious from the interruption of dialog, etc). The discs look perfect, so I don't know where the freeze-frame comes from, but it's very disconcerting and messes up the enjoyment of the show a lot. Disappointing that the production of this set apparently had these problems; I've read many similar stories online, but who can tell if someone just got a bad set or something.
