Problem 1: At 1:08:55 there is a slight jump on some players. This is likely a layer switch. Workaround: none Discs Affected: ? Players Affected: ? Severity: 1

Problem 2: Won't play on certain players, sometimes immediately ejecting the disc. If this affects you, try the second Utena DVD or Disney's Dinosaur and see if it gives you the same reaction. Let me know the results. Workaround: Try cleaning the disc or contacting Pioneer, their info should be in the package somewhere. Discs Affected: all? Players Affected: The JVC XV-501BK was reported twice, the JVC XV-701BK, JVC XV-1000, JVC XV-D2000 and PS2 are also noted once. Severity: If ya can't even play it... 5

Nitpicks: This release isn't 100% progressive encoded like it could have been, and it also has edge enhancement. Workaround: none Discs Affected: Akira movie-only, Akira Special Edition and Akira DTS, all R1 Players Affected: progressive scan players Severity: unsure

Recalled:	no. So far these aren't recall worthy yet.

I believe both the SE and normal movie-only release have the identical movie discs, except for the silkscreen.
