- DVD COMMENTS: The Japanese Version features a nice transfer even if it shows its age. This is however said to be a bit more colourful than the R1 dvd, which I have not seen myself. Audio is a good quality original mono and a 5.1 remix, both in Japanese. The US cut has the same audio options, except in English this time. The transfer is full screen and lesser quality, but still very watchable. Both transfers are progressive and Native PAL. - HungFist
