Digitally Remastered R2
(Grade: 98 - 100%) |
Every single episodes were digitally restored, both picture and
sound are digitally enhanced. The picture color are sharp and well
balanced while the sound is much more clearer. Older DVD series
from the 60s - 70s have the same vibrant quality as today's movie.
Most of the R2 DVD have exclusive extras such as non-credit OP/ED,
interviews, digital art galleries, full featured movie,
promotional clips, alternate stories, and more. All contents is
uncut.

D-Remastered Custom
(Grade: 95 - 98%)
|
Same as above but this comes
in custom menu, it does not include Japanese menu. Contents are all
the same, uncut. |
Digital TV
(Grade: 90 - 95%)
|
These episodes were taken directly from re-runs in Japan. Majority
of the episodes were digitally restored, similar to R2. However,
the episodes have white logo and most often degrade in quality due
to the fact that these episodes weren't straightly coming from the
master print. Still, Digital TV quite comparable to R2, this is
the best alternative if the R2 version is not available. Menu are
often plain blue or custom made. Some are Japanese custom menu.
|
Laser Disc Remastered
(Grade: 90 - 95%)
|
Every single episodes were digitally transferred to fit into DVD.
Quite comparable to R2 and Digital TV, but often the picture feels
darker or blurry compared to R2. Most menu are plain blue one.
This is due to the fact that the remastering process took place
quite a few years ago, with less hi-tech equipment than modern
days. In addition, transferring to DVD may degrade the picture
quality by a small amount. Still, the best alternative if R2 or
Digital TV version are not available.
