Hello all,
I've Purchased many differen't versions of Gatchaman in the past, (Proud owner of the Japanese Laserdisc box)
Wondering if anyone could explain the technical differences between the Blu-Ray: Complete 2103 release vs. Collectors Edition 2019 release.
Not concerned about the booklet, disc count, or packaging differences.
I just needed clarification if the technical differences are a mono mix and a aspect ratio difference in the video?
Appreciate the help if possible, not finding any confirmation online so I thought I would ask some fellow fans ^_^

There's only one major technical difference I'm aware of between the 2013 Complete and the 2019 Collector's Edition sets. The 2019 edition fixed an aspect ratio problem that affected most of the content on the bonus/extras disc. Most of that disc in the 2013 edition was presented in the wrong ratio.
Great that you have the original series LaserDisc site too! My world changed after I saw the full-page ad for it in a Japanese magazine It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it to finally see the whole show.

Thank you for the warm welcome!
Does the aspect ratio issue affect the OAV disc?
You mentioned Bonus / Extra disc, not sure if the OAV disc is considered an extra, lol

The OAV disc was fine as far as I remember. I don't have my copy handy to check, but I don't remember hearing about any problems with it. I believe all of the program content was okay, it was just the the majority of the bonus materials that had problems.
