Hrm... I've got both the old Bebop set and the newer EVA set from FX.
I didn't notice any pixelation on either of them and I'd like to think that I'm fairly picky when it comes to picture quality.
I think that the player you use to view these titles on can make a big difference. When I started watching HK DVDs I was using my PS2 to watch them and had all sorts of picture problems as well as freezing and the system just not recognizing discs.
Then I splurged and spent $350 (only to have it drop to $300 three months later) on a Panasonic 5 disc player. Since then I have only encountered pixelation on videos that have been rips of VCD releases (Naked Blood is the first movie that comes to mind).
I'm guessing that some decoders work better than others at blocking out pixelation. In order to make a valid comparison of this, we would need to get movies made from the same pressing or even mail around the same disc. Then we would be able to see how much difference the player actually makes.

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
