Title Best
Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no Haka) (Studio Ghibli Collection)=

    The Region 1 version of this disc was released a little while ago. I am unsure if there have been multiple releases in Region 1; the copy I have is marked "Collector's Series". It, like the R4, is a two-disc set.

    The Region 4 version is missing:

  • cast and credits on inside cover

    The Region 1 version is missing:

  • nothing

    The trailers on the first disc (their equivalent to the Madman Propaganda) are different, but I've never counted that as significant.

    The transfers are similar in quality. Interestingly, both show some interleaving when you single-step the movie, but on neither disc is the interleaving visible when playing the movie at normal speed.

    I slightly prefer the cover slick and DVD labels on the R1, but that's a very minor point. Other than that, these seem to be very much equivalent — you can buy either version with confidence.
