Read the wiki article. Answer your question. Basically, episode 12 is the only difference.

If you can get ahold of the final VHS, just rip and encode the final episode and make it a DVD-R along with the special feature creds.

I only got into anime within the last couple of years. However I am VERY picky with what I watch and prefer anime that relate to giant mecha.
So far I've watched:

Neon Genesis Evangelion (Original Series & the Rebuild Movies)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Eureka Seven
Star Driver
Blood+ (The only non-mecha anime I've watched so far)

I tried to get into the new anime Lagrange: Flower of Rin-ne, but after episode 3, I got bored with it.
I intend to watch the new Eureka Seven sequel series Eureka Seven: AO when it comes out in April.
I'm in the midst of watching Cowboy Bebop. I've seen it on and off in the past, but not in its entirety.
Lately, however, I haven't had much time to watch anime because of college mainly.

Snagged a copy of Dragon Ball Episode of Bardock subbed in 1080p.

Anyone seen this yet? I liked the animation in the last special but I think this story is skreeonk with canon.

Has anyone seen Chrome Shelled Regios? I've heard of it before, but never bothered looking into it. I saw the complete series box set at Best Buy today and was wondering if it's worth picking up.

I seen it with subs on Youtube, it's based off some spin off manga. I think it's alright, seeing Bardock as a SSj is cool but that's about it. I'm pretty sure it's not canon since it could taken place in an alternate time line.

I've also seen the new Bardock special. Was pretty neat but it sure does mess with the time line.

You heard about it from me, silly. I watched the first episode a while back and told you it's something you would probably like.

I've decided to re-watch some of my favorite anime.
I'm in the process of re-watching High School of the Dead, only 3 more episodes + the OVA left. Once I'm done with that I will re-watch the following series, probably in this order:

Angel Beats!
Heroic Age
Soul Eater
Darker Than Black
Full Metal Panic!
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid
Code Geass(both seasons)
And last but not least, I will be finishing this off with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

^Indeed. wrapping up ANYTHING with Gurren Lagann= BEST THING EVER. Nothing can compare to it's awesomness...

...though the Fan-made Touhou vids come really, REALLY close to toppling it over. This one in particular is really well made, and all the voices were done by ONE WOMAN.

Sorry Kamina, but even you ain't as badass as Reimu or Marisa
Hope... I will find it!

Almost done with my Evangelion marathon. It holds up rather well despite budget issues, but I'm truly amazed this is what some people consider a masterpiece.

I'm going to make a point of watching Rideback through this week. I've had this show for a while, but just haven't had time to get around to it.

So I've been watching One Piece on Funimation's streaming site. It's actually pretty good. I wish more people would give it a chance, especially since 4Kids lost the license a long time ago.

I'm just not pleased that they skipped a massive chunk of episodes, at least on the site. Looks like I'll be watching subs for a while.

I just got tired of it. I stuck with the manga more then the anime. I like the manga artwork better (Im also the same with Dragon Ball Z ((before Kai)), Shaman King, FMA and Naruto). After awhile, it IMHO just got TOO complicated and I couldnt follow the characters. I stopped reading the manga right before Chopper.

Eh, I'm enjoying it. I generally don't find a large cast to be a bad thing, necessarily.

Sometimes large casts work. I love all the Dragon Ball-Z-GT characters. But to me One Piece just jumped the shark with the excessive amount of overly cartoony characters. Are they even looking for the One Piece anymore?

It's not about an active search, Luffy is confident he'll find it whether he tries or not.
It's about all the adventures along the way

They were never actively searching for it.

I'm gonna go with this.

I'm only up to episode 10 right now.

I do remember quite a ways into the old 4kids dub, though. I believe I fell out of touch with the series during the Alabasta arc. That sounds about right.

The Enies Lobby arc is my favorite one. Not necessarily for the Luffy vs Lucci fight, but for all the craziness going on in that arc. Only the Strawhats would dare attack a Navy Stronghold with a ragtag bunch they threw together in a few hours.

Have fun with One Piece, it's not gold by any standards, but it's loads of fun. If craziness and over the top fighting and characters are your thing.
