Urotsukidoji Questions

[staffyman]

I am thinking of picking up some of these films and am wondering if anyone who's seen these could help me out with which version to get. I'm looking for the most complete version available.

I read on a previous thread here that 'Urotsukidoji: Perfect Collection' as being the most complete, uncut version (more footage than the seperate releases?) available and also that (on another forum) it's the entire series and lists only three seperate alternative releases.

However, there's also a collection from the same company called 'Hell On Earth: The Urotsukidji Saga #1-4.' With a previously unknown (to me) episode called 'Inferno Road' in a 4 disk set.

I just really know which version it would be better for me to get.

The Perfect Collection is around £32 and the 4 disc box set is around twice that. Is TPC an edited together set of the first 3 and would I need to get the fourth episode on it's own?

Help....:confused:

Thanks in advance!

"Hell on Earth" is a collection of the first four volumes as they were released individually. "Perfect Collection" contains Vols 1 & 2 with about 50 odd minutes extra than the individul releases for 1 & 2. Therefore, "Hell on Earth" has Volumes 3 & 4 which Perfect Cololection does not but does not include those 50 extra minutes.

Get "Perfect...." and 3 & 4 separately, or

Get "Hell on Earth" and miss out on those extra 50 minutes....

What's on those extra 50 minutes?
Not sure, I'm afraid. Not done a comparison....

A partial answer only, I'm afraid....

The best way to buy them is...

Urotsukidoji: Perfect Collection
Urotsukidoji 3: Return of the Overfiend
Urotsukidoji 4: Inferno Road

and to break it down...

Urotsukidoji: Hell on Earth boxset contains....

Urotsukidoji 1 - Legend of the Overfiend
Urotsukidoji 2 - Legend of the Demonwomb
Urotsukidoji 3 - Return of the Overfiend
Urotsukidoji 4 - Inferno Road

The first two - Overfiend & DemonWomb are featurelength movies that were edited together from the original 5 OVAs and as a result lose around 50mins (IIRC) of footage. The 'Perfect Collection' is the original 5 OVAs spread over 2 discs and in the original language. The Movies are English Dubs only.

Parts 3 & 4 are also compilations of episodes.

Hope that makes sense :)

I agree with Kanedaa on which discs are best to get, but an extra bit of info is that the DemonWomb actually contains some extra footage that wasnt included in the original OVA's (from what i remember, a few extra flashback scenes with myunihausen), though it's no where near as long as the stuff that was removed from Overfiend.

Thank you very much to everyone who's answered. You've cleared this up for me a hell of a lot... Perfect Collection & Parts 3 & 4 it is then!

Jimi_Hendrix2001 - I could very well be interested in that trade! Please tell me how you want to go about this.

Thanks again all! :clap:
