OVERALL: Draw
R2 German release has audio commentary in German, along with trailers and photo galleries. R1 is the only release with English subtitles and it's only available in a box set. if you want the collectibles (statue, model kit), you'll have to track down the R2 Japanese "Collector's Edition".
For the image comparison (R1 vs R2 Japan), please see the link HERE (DVDFreak) or DVDBeaver. We haven't measured the aspect ratio on the German release (probably also 2.25:1).
Notes: Alternate U.S. TV-version (from "American International Pictures") also available on VHS. It's using alternate English dub track (AKA Titra studios dub).
