Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Film Collection quality? - Blu-ray Forum

I'm a huge Street Fighter fan and I'd like to pick up the 25th Anniversary blu-ray. It sells for $35-$45. And it has the two SF 4 anime's, the "I am Street Fighter" doc, and the entire Street Fighter II animated series. If one of you guys have this disc I have a question. With that much stuff on one disc how is the video quality?

Wow, I never realized this set included the first animated movie on bluray, cuz I'd love to have it on that format.

HOWEVER...

There aren't many (if any) reviews that focus on the anime content that I could find online. At best all I could dig up was one Amazon.com reviewer giving a small mention of the first animated movie being the "Renegade Cut" (ie American censored version) as what's included. And then another reviewer stated that the set included "the animated series that you should remember if you were a Saturday morning cartoon fan," making me think it's the US version and not the 2V anime.

The set seems shady to me, so I'd recommend skipping it if all you're interested in is the anime content.

Oh yeah I totally forgot that the original SF II anime movie was on this collection. From what I understand this is the exact same transfer as the version that Manga put out on DVD. That itself was recycled from the original DVD release. It's also non-anamorphic widescreen which makes me wonder why they even bothered to include it anyway.

And it does feature the USA network cartoon not the 2V series. I may be one of the few people on earth that actually loves the USA cartoon. It's so damn goofy that I just love it!

It's like a G.I. Joe version of the Street Fighter series. This series is one of the reasons I was interested in getting the blu-ray. The old ADV DVD's are OOP and sell for $40 bucks a volume. I have the 2nd volume but figured I could kill two birds with one stone by getting the blu.
