Sure Death Revenge: R2 UK vs R2J
Posted: 28 Jul 2007, 16:37
Hissatsu 4: Urami harashimasu (1987)
Top: Artsmagic R2 UK
Bottom: Shochiku R2J
The R2J is progressive and looks very nice despite the tint. The UK disc is an interlaced, ghosting mess converted from an NTSC source. It’s too dark, the edge enhancement is more visible (both discs display occational ee) and the compression is slighty worse (cap 2). The subtitles are forced but not burnt in. Cover art and menus are ugly too.

You haven't seen the infinetely worse US-version, haven't you? Full screen and stupid subtitle-censorship? They actually made the raped 17-year old girl 21 (or was it 19? I don't remember); as if anyone with just a hint of knowledge of Japanese language wouldn't notice.
