FYI, I compared the remaster quality on the 1998 Complete Collection Laserdisc Boxed set and it's the same one used on the most recent AnimEigo DVD remastered edition.
I also compared the Complete Collection Laserdisc quality to the original AnimEigo VHS releases and the difference is like night and day. The original transfers used on the VHS suffered from being way too dark, and the colors were extremely washed out.
The remastering job done by Youmex for the 1998 LD set was provided to AnimEigo for their DVD mastering. Anything previous to the 1998 LD set is the original lackluster transfer.
