20th Century Boys: Chapter Two-The Last Hope (Dai 2 shô-Saigo no kibô) | R2UK |
The individual films have been released separately in Region 1 US, Region 2 Japan, Region 2 UK and elsewhere. The Region 1 discs are single discs which seem to have similar video and audio to ours and only trailers as extras. In Region 2 Japanese individual release contains trailers but does not have English subtitles. The Region 2 UK release Chapter 2 – The Last Hope is reported to also have a 24 page booklet (made up like the Book of Prophecy) but does not seem to have any extras that we don’t have on our single disc edition. I am unable to find out if the audio for the UK edition is more than the Dolby Digital 2.0 we have. The complete trilogy is also available in Region 2 Japan and Region 2 UK. The UK version seems the best as they have a 4 disc edition with the booklet and all the extras on the fourth disc. Here in Region 4 Madman has spread these same extras across the 3 discs. The Region 2 Japanese release is a 3 disc set which does not seem to have any extra features that are not on the Region 4; for example, there is no audio commentary. I did not notice any compression issues in the Region 4 disc, but clearly having the extras on one disc would free up space. That and the booklet would give the Region 2 UK individual version and the trilogy the win. |
