I bought vol. 1 on DVD around three years ago. The disc suffers from a lot of problems:
- Horrid DVD menu design.
- Crappy DVD-ROM features (crashes every computer using it).
- Video transfer looks like it was taken from the VHS version.
- Japanese audio needs improvement. English audio is much worse.
Overall, it looks no better than a HK bootleg. Hell, my VHS copies of the laserdiscs look 10 times better than the DVD.
At this year's Anime Expo, I talked to an AnimEigo representative about the possibility of releasing a remastered version of BGC. He said that M2K currently holds the DVD rights and as soon as their license expires, AnimEigo will probably work on remastering the series.
I'll just wait for that day...
Yeah I was there with you.
I also didnt care for the charicter designer for BGC 2040. You just cant beat Sonada.
