Best picture quality releases of each G-film?

^Oh, of course! Dunno how I forgot GKOTM.

Thanks G1985, totally forgot about the laserdisc release.

Personally, I think the video quality on the Toho DVD of GFW is a little bit better than the Sony one. When you compare the two, the video is a bit softer and slightly cropped on the Sony DVD. Plus, the end credits scene is in way worse condition than the rest of the movie.

Exactly. It definitely looks like it's a different print during the end credits.

I remember a screenshot comparison of the Sony and the Region 2 of GFW and, besides the ending credits, they looked almost exactly the same. This isn't surprising since the film was shot and seemingly finished digitally. I assume both transfers originate predominantly from the Digital Intermediate files, with small adjustments in framing (The R2 is windowboxed, while the Sony is slightly cropped and without windowboxing).
