“I used the Japanese DVD for the video. This was MUCH better quality than the USA release.” I don’t what kind of glue you’re sniffing, I have the jpdvd of this and the video is almost exactly the same as the old ADV dvd. Maybe you’d better get a new pair of glasses and look again.

I think you’re the one that needs glasses and a reality check. The USA one is terrible compared to the Japanese DVD. It has way too many heavy rainbows all over it, and much less overall picture from too much cropping. It’s details in dark areas are more crushed from the image being too dark.

yep
usa is darker (which blots out details), more cropped, has jaggies
tl;dr usa sucks as it has always did

what’s the difference between this and mottoj’s

Thanks!

thanks
was mottoj r2 or r2j ? and how does this compare

Says you, my jpdvd looks 98% the same as my usdvd does. Caveat Emptor

@zrdb, You either have a serious blindness problem or your Japanese DVDs aren’t the real thing.

@tonikaku, mottoj is R2J.
