is the special edition just better quailty?
Hi there,
Thanks for your interest in our fansubs! Here are the differences:
1)
SOURCE:
The Special Edition is mostly mastered digitally from the region 2 DVDs (episodes 1-5,11-12 were from the Italian DVD Set - will be re-released using the R2 DVD source at series completion).
The VHS version is a 2nd generation analog VHS copy from Laser Disc
2)
FILE FORMAT:
The Special Edition uses the MKV (Matroska) format and has a video resolution of 640x480
The VHS edition is an AVI at 320x240
3)
AUDIO:
The Special Edition has multiple audio tracks: our new Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track and the original mono track (Early episodes have a separate 2.0 stereo track as well, but it has been proven to be unnecessary)
The VHS edition is mono only
4)
SUBTITLES:
The Special Edition has multiple subtitle tracks (Formated English/French (1-6)/Unformatted English) that can be turned on and off (French tracks will be coming for the later episodes)
The VHS version is hard-subbed English
5)
PREVIEWS:
The Special Edition includes all of the episode previews
The VHS only has them occasionally
6)
BONUS FEATURES:
The Special Edition contains special features like Commentary tracks and alternate video tracks.
The VHS edition is just the episodes
Here is what is the same:
1)
TRANSLATION:
Both versions were originally translated by Corn Pone Flicks
2)
EDITING:
Both versions contain the same animated footage during the episodes (no cuts)
3)
KICK ASS ANIME:
Both versions display one of the best anime classics committed to film!
NOTE: There is a great increase in quality of the Special Edition, starting with Episode 6. That is when we joined Live-eviL!
I hope this is helpful.
Thanks for watching,
