Sorry for the shakyness, I recorded from my phone, but you can easily hear the audio.
Thanks for posting that, Nico. Now I have to apologize. There's a bit more compression present in that clip than what I heard of the 99min version from doof's clip and Disc 4 of the 80min (which is identical to the 99min dub's Disc 4, apparently). I only heard the faintest hint of robot in Shenhua's voice on Disc 4 that was barely noticeable, and didn't really hear any compression at all in the earlier clip posted, but it's definitely noticeable in yours. If this is a good example of the quality, something tells me that certain voices and such will only get worse in Discs 3 & 4 just as the entirety of all the speech -- especially the street NPC's -- did in the 80min dub since those discs must be chock-full.
Still leagues better than the 80min version, though. If you have both, just compare and contrast when you get to Disc 2 to see what I mean.
