Radd Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Quick question, of all the versions of DYRL? currently available on DVD in Japan, what is the best version? Wasn't there a version released last year with all sorts of extras and whatnot? I tried peeking through the Videos section of the website, but it looks like it hasn't been updated since before the AnimEigo tv series set was released, and only has the Manga release of the Macross Plus OVA. Thanks in advance! Quote
ewilen Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Just to be clear, you're referring to a Region 2, non-bootleg, right? Not that I have an answer to that question, sorry. Quote
imode Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 This is the only one I see. I think I've seen it before when I was in Japan. It's just like the FX or whatever version, except subtitle-less. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=BCBA-238 Quote
Radd Posted September 24, 2003 Author Posted September 24, 2003 Apologies if I was unclear. Yes, I mean Region 2, non-bootleg, domestic Japanese. Fully aware that there will be no subtitles. I'm looking for video/audio quality, and extra features. Quote
MicronianDevil Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 They have it at cdjapan. Here is the link: Macross: Ai Oboete Imasu Ka. Kind of expensive though. Quote
Graham Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 I have that one. It's good, nice picture and sound, but no extras or anything (not that I really care about extras on DVDs anyway). Graham Quote

There was also a special DVD DYRL boxset that was released during 1999, though I can't remember what was part of the package. Quote
bandit29 Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 (edited) I own both. The R2 DYRL and the FX bootleg have the same content. Same menu. The movie and a few trailers. The FX version has subs of course. Picture quality is very close. Sound quality about the same. The FX version is pretty much a direct rip of the R2. The only thing missing on the FX disc is the Bandai/Emotion logos at the beginning, the Toho film symbol, and a few seconds of the black screen before Britai and Exedol speak. Not much really. The other R2 version of DYRL was released in a laser disc sized box. I think the content was the same. Out of print now. small edit. Toho films not Toei Edited September 24, 2003 by dejr8bud Quote
