Yup I picked up my copy. I really really like the dvd. The menu is a little annoying when you go to the shorts menu the titles just keep going.
Some comments & possible spoilers:
Final Flight of the Osiris- seemed like the people that created the FF movie did this.
The Second Renaissance Parts I & II- pretty cool there was the Tianimen Square re-make in one scene
Kid's Story- reminded me of an old 80s music video because of the way it was animated... can't think of the name
Program- it bleeds Ninja Scroll and some character design likeness to Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust
World Record- likeness in character design in Ninja Scroll and Bloodlust
Beyond- reminds me of the more recent styling of anime.
A Detective Story- very cool loved the black and white
Matriculated- alright reminded me of Aeon Flux which imho wasnt good
