Mushishi - R1 vs. R2J

Both discs are interlaced

R1 Top, R2J Bottom

Heard nothing but good things about this series and it did very well in Japan, popular with adult viewers.

As we can see here the R1 suffers a bit because of lower bitrates, not too much of a difference in caps but on a bigger screen that artefacting is annoying.
