Anime and horror movies are worth to own on LD with the extras included and better artwork.
Not to mention that the Anime on LaserDiscs have the original voice actors we knew and loved back in the days of Streamline pictures, whereas the new mastered Anime on today's DVD and BRD have new voice actors that I just cannot stand at all, at least from the Streamline Pictures Anime like Akira, and 3x3 Eyes.
I love my LaserDiscs of my Anime and Horror flicks. I play them from time to time on my DVL-H9 now that my CLD-R7G is DOA as is my 704, and I find it hard to even like my CLD-504 and "Other" older LD players that I have laying around here. Hell, to be dead honest, I cannot even view a damn LD on an American made LD Player anymore, (not even the CLD-99s), since I am now so damn spoiled with my H9 and R7G players. The only players I would recommend watching LDs on anymore, at least these days, is the R7G (Rare to find, but has a decent overall picture quality, and can do something others cannot when still stepping), DVL-H9 (basically a beast which weighs a fucking TON, is Pioneers TOP NOTCH LD/DVD Combi player, and has the same quality in picture and advanced 3D comb filter that the S9 used), LD-S9 (Second of everyones favorite in quality, with a picture that is amazing and on par with the DVL-H9 but in a smaller package since it is NOT a combi player, and of coarse the HLD-X9 (the mother of all LD players with the best picture quality, is just as huge as the DVL-H9, is rock solid, and also features MUSE capability for those of us with High Def MUSE HDTV sets before HDTVs came out in America. With it's punch comes a hefty price tag also, but if you want the best, like the Neo-Geo, you pay the price and just deal with it.)
I also have to say I like my Yamaha APD-1, as it served it's purpose in the day, although I will admit, I have not much use for it anymore other than to look at and remissness. Yes, I understand that not everyone has to have the best, but, since I am picky as FUCK, and I am spoiled, I have to have at least one of the top units anymore to enjoy what my LDs have to offer. The American players just do not make the grade.
