Megazone 23: Blu-ray Archive BOX -30th Anniversary Edition- (4K scan) 11/27/2015 - Blu-ray Forum

I think Ichiro Itano (the director of Part II) is fond of putting in "cruel" scenes like this. Itano was also responsible for a couple of gory bits in the Macross 1984 movie (a head being stomped on, a decapitated guy during the final battle) that ended up censored on the Blu-ray.

Not to mention Violence Jack and Angel Cop

The remastering looks very good...

I would buy this if I had the money. I've bought this series at least four times over the years (the laserdisc singles, the LD box, the Japanese DVD box, and finally the ADV R1 DVD release), but it's so natsukashii.

Here's hoping we get a more affordable release in North America.

The AVD release is pretty good with a very serviceable transfer, but a blu-ray release would be awesome.

Who knows, maybe AnimEigo will do a Kickstarter like they did with Bubblegum Crisis.

Looks like there are pics of what the set looks like:

Shame there are no english subs or dubs.

That thing's a beaut'. I'll just have to cross my fingers for a US release.
