Remember, the AnimEigo KOR DVDs were produced from the D2 digital tape transfers of the original analog masters which were also the source for the previous LD set (

It's a shame that many US companies cannot get (due to licensing issues), or will not/cannot pay for (due to $$$), the newer remasters from the original prints. For every Evangelion TV, AMG OVA, and Gunbuster, we get a Sailor Moon, KOR, and Funimation and their DBZ remaster "saga".
