Peronally, If your wanting the film on DVD then the uk shameless release is the way to go, it wont cost you very much either.

Amazon.co.uk: torso Film & TV

The only version that looks better is the Blue-underground blue ray.

I mainly bought it BECAUSE it was Eureka 7 on Blu-Ray.
I agree that the movie was mostly re-hashed material from the series but at least it should look stunning in HD.

Still waiting on 3.3!!

Damn, 3 years? Nearly that at least. That's when I got into NGE, when 2.2 was getting released in Japan. Holy hell......it doesn't help that 2.2 end's on a cliff hanger really does it?

Watched several films yesterday:

THE HUSTLER (20thC Fox digibook, 1961): Brilliant! Felt very much like a noir in style, loved the seedy two-bit pool halls and grimy locations + George C Scott was immense.

THE IRON ROSE (Kino & Redemption, 1973): The atmosphere and cinematography were excellent. The graveyard was a great place to film and set the majority of the movie. However I found the characters a little annoying and felt it could have benefited from a bit of a story, although I realise that's not what Rollins is about.

THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (Criterion, 1921): Again, excellent atmosphere. The fact it was filmed on nitrite gives it this eerie silvery sheen + lovely tints. Characters were good, story was good although tending to the melodramatic a bit as silent films generally do, visual effects were very impressive for the time. The phantom coach & its driver (death) were effective too.

All of the above blu rays had exceptional transfers, very impressive jobs done by the publishers.

THE LAST GUN / 4 DOLLERS OF REVENGE (Mill Creek, 1964&1968) : I was pleasantly surprised with this double Spag West release from Mill Creek. Seeing as it only cost £5, the quality of the transfers were much better than I was expecting. It is definitely HD, and underneath the surface noise (lots of squiggles and print damage) it was nicely done I thought. The films were better than I was expecting too, particularly THE LAST GUN. Good characters and a good story, although 4 DOLLERS had the better soundtrack for definite. Looking forward to receiving KEOMA/THEGRAND DUEL double bill too.
