Top O Nerae! Gunbuster DVD UK Edition (Edited)
Kiseki Films PAR61110
British release of Gunbuster on DVD which utilizes transfers from the
original US Renditions edition. Video quality is grainy, but sound quality
is okay. No effort has been put into remastering this DVD, as it is a
direct rip of the VHS edition. All six episodes are present, but episode
two has about 20 seconds of footage removed. Extras are offered, but
they are abysmal. Click the image to the left to see a larger picture.
