Re: AREA 88 OVA - ALL 3 ACTS ON DVD?

One disk, or two? With extras one would be a tight fit.

It mirrors the Japanese release so it's spread over 2 dvds to give the
best video quality.

I wouldn't put it that high, but it's good. Much better then the tv
version (despite that having much more time to tell the story).

Really? I rate it up there with Gunbuster but thats just my opinion.

And yes I do find it's ironic that the tv series has more time to tell
the story yet covers less ground than the ova.

This makes one more set of tapes I can throw away. Now, if we can just
get Grey and Orguss....

Lol, agreed. With all classics they're licensing these days maybe ADV
will rescue these as well.
