Also, why are there only 3 discs, while there are 6 R1 discs containing the same episodes? This is confusing me...
Help anyone?
To reduce costs, the HK companies compress anime series into as few discs as possible. So instead of the 4 eps per R1 DVD you'll get around 8 eps or so on the 3-disc HK sets. Naturally, video quality will take a slight hit.
Just remember to find out if the HK set you're buying has the right episode count and you'll be okay. After you've done that then check the number of discs - a higher disc count could mean better video quality or perhaps more extras if available in the original R1 set, e.g. the new MI Perfect Fruits Basket has four discs whilst the FX equivalent has 3.
