Cowboy Bebop: Remix Vs. Original Dvds

[Kamui 777]

I just got the Cowboy Bebop Remix DVD set. Do I need to purchase the original for an extra content? The Remix set comes with Ep 0 which the original set broke up across the DVDs.....

Don't see any real reason, unless you're an anal collector I have the original set, and from what I understand, the new 5.1 isn't all it's cracked up to be, and the video is the same.

Personally, I like the original release covers better, but that also has to do with them not saying "remix" all over them.

So Keith, you're saying that the Remix versions contain the same video transfers as the originals? Well, I guess I will be keeping my originals, since I don't have a 5.1 sourround sound system. I would be curious to see a comprehensive list of all the extras for the Remix set though, just to compare.

One thing I do like about the Remix DVDs is the menu system. Faster and far more user friendly than the original DVDs.

I'm curious to see if anyone else is like me and has the first 3 DVDs of the original release and the last 3 DVDs of the Remix version.

Not an anal collector but I'd like to make sure I'm not missing out on any bonus content the originals had compared to the REMIXes. From what I understand Ep 0 was broken up across 2-3 DVDs in the original set.

Yes, it was broken up, there's also a music video remix version of Tank, and some artwork galleries.
