Armored Trooper Votoms comparison

[Vintrus]

Hi I was wondering if anyone had done a side by side comparison between the USA and JP version of Armored Trooper Votoms. The three biggest changes I can see on the face is the
us version
[TV Series - 4:3 , SD] Episodes 1-52, Recap Compilations (x6) • [OVA - 4:3 , SD] Last Red Shoulder, Big Battle, Origin of Ambition, Brilliantly Shining Heresy (Eps. 1-5), Pailsen Files (Eps. 1-12) • [OVA - HD] Genei ~ Phantom Arc (Eps. 1-6), Case; IRVINE, VOTOMS FINDER, Chirico's Return
price around 50usd
JP
Everything is HD
No subs
price around 579.77usd

thanks
James

Wouldn't the best release to buy be the complete collection on Rightstuf? It includes the entire series and ovas/movies.

The US complete collection has the TV series and most of the OVAs in 480p standard definition as listed above.

The OP is asking about the Japanese BD Perfect Soldier box set released last year that had all of it except Brilliantly Shining Heresy remastered in HD.

To clarify, Brilliantly Shining Heresy is included but it's a Q-Tec FORS upscale.

Also the Japanese set has Armor Hunter Mellowlink and the movie version of Pailsen Files, neither of which are on the US releases.

Looks like to my disappointment I am going for the USA version mainly due to budgetary reasons paying 10x or more for the jp version doesn't seem worth it it to me even for the HD improvement.
