Royal Space Force: Wings of Honneamise (Ôritsu uchûgun Oneamisu no tsubasa)

Two DVD versions have been released thus far in Region 1.

The first, by Manga Video in 2000, came with deleted scenes and a gallery of conceptual art but caused quite a stir in the anime fan community for its appalling video and audio quality. This version should be avoided.

The second Region 1 version was released by Bandai in late 2007, but only as part of an expensive (RRP US$79.95) HD DVD/DVD or Blu-ray/DVD 2 disc set, one disc being a DVD while the other a high definition disc. The DVD released in Region 4 is identical to the DVD disc contained in the 2 disc sets, save for a handful of trailers for other Madman releases. Given the difference in price, the Region 4 version is the way to go if you are only after a DVD version of the film.

Reports indicate that the Blu-ray is region free, so anyone with the cash to spare may prefer the high-definition version.
