Comparison updated.

I still prefer the HK Vidéo.
It has higher brightness (which makes the colours look washed-out), but the dark scenes look much better this way.
I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".

Comparison updated with BCI Grindhouse caps (not the first one, sorry, too lazy for that).

I expected BCI to get it fully right this time but no. They still offer the best contast but the transfer is darkish, interlaced, cropped and distractingly red.

Despite not being quite perfect Toei still has the best transfer. The new BCI would appear second best, followed by Ronin and HK Video. However keep in mind the new BCI is dubbed only.

EDIT: ah, what the hell. BCI Grinhouse caps for the first comparison:

(approximate matches, the first cap is next to impossible to match)

Easily the French DVD, then the USA DVD.
