OVERALL: Draw

R1 Tokyo Pop individuals/FUNimation Complete set have original Japanese audio in 5.1 and the best set of extras, with additional collectibles.
R1 FUNimation/R4 Re-Releases offer the original uncut episodes also with English dubbed audio as opposed to the edited "Americanized" episodes available with English dubbed audio on the previous releases - for more info read the release notes. However they lose most of the (minor) extras and have only Japanese 2.0 audio.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
- R1 Tokyo Pop discs have been released only as individual volumes and as a Limited Edition set with only the first five volumes.
- For the Re-Release, FUNimation recorded new English dubbed audio tracks but it's unconfirmed whether the R4 Re-Releases use them as well.

Also released in:
- Australia (individually released Battles 3-9) by AV Channel/Madman Entertainment
- Japan (8xDVD Limited Edition Box set) by Avex Entertainment
- Japan (3xDVD + CD Full Throttle Collection vol. 1) by Avex Entertainment
- Japan (3xDVD + CD Full Throttle Collection vol. 2) by Avex Entertainment
