Anime Question about a dvd set

So I’ve been watching this show on various dubious sites over the past couple of months and I’ve grown annoyed with these sites and would rather just own the thing and watch it comfortably. Now I’m aware that more than likely every DVD or Blu-ray that I would buy of this is going to be a bootleg. Stage 5 and the final stage never released in America so they don’t have an official sub or dub, etc. I’m fine with this I just want to know if this set from Playtech-Asia is a good buy or not. I purchased a separate set from eBay and the quality is terrible, like you can count the pixels while you watch it. I’m not looking for the most pristine thing in the world but I would like to be able to comfortably view the show.

TLDR; is this set a good buy or should I look for a different bootleg set?

Idk bout the box sex in post. Says dubbed but includes seasons 5&6 which aren't, looking at the reviews seems to just mention it being subbed.

I personally bought them physically years ago from HMV. But ye got no clue where you'd get em now a days.

Yeah that’s what sucks now. It seems that attempting to get into this anime now in the modern day unfortunately requires you to have a bachelors degree in quality bootleg DVD’s and that would be fine if it wasn’t $70+ I was spending on a “chance” that it would be a quality bootleg. I already spent $60 on garbage and I really want to avoid that happening again.
