I now have two different versions of the Ruin Explorers DVD.  I plan on doing something with them.  Hell, I may just go for the hat trick and buy the ADV Essential Anime version just so my comparisons can be complete.

Also, blatantly looking for a reason to watch Ruin Explorers three times.

I am surprised at how significant a difference there is, though.  The ADV version is either more vibrant or ridiculously saturated.  Oh, and their ENGLISH LETTERS logo is slapped over Fam’s face.

The ADV version also seemed to have general cropping going on for I have no idea why.

Buying the Maiden Japan version has been well worth the wait and my money.  I look forward to making more comparison shots.

  1. Just do what feels right, Otaku.

    I was going to say the water was colder, but no, the left one was just cropped out in the ADV version.
