(From Wikipedia):
Megazone 23 (メガゾーン23) is a three-part Japanese cyberpunk original video animation created by Noboru Ishiguro, written by Hiroyuki Hoshiyama and Emu Arii, and directed by Ishiguro, Ichiro Itano, Kenichi Yatagai, and Shinji Aramaki. The story follows Shougo Yahagi, a delinquent motorcyclist whose possession of a government prototype bike leads him to discover the truth about the city.

This is a remux of the new 2024 US Blu-ray by AnimEigo. They have previously released this OVA on Blu-Ray in 2021 with a Kickstarter, but this new release features more special features and reformatted subs that more closely match the other work of MediaOCD. It also includes German subtitles from Anime Sugoi.

This remux takes the video and audio from this new release, including the two dub tracks and multiple subtitle tracks, and puts them together in one easy package. Also included are various trailers.

Note: For the “International Edition” English dub by Streamline Pictures, the sex scene was censored. However, the video here is fully uncut. To prevent desync, the audio from the ADV dub was spliced in. Unfortunately the SDH subtitles for the Steamline dub is empty for this scene, but they resume immediately afterwards.

Given this is a remux, no extra encoding was performed to preserve the disc’s quality. The video is the original H.264 encoded present on the original disc, and is a 4:3 1080p picture pillarboxed to 16:9. The original Japanese audio, both English dubs, the two commentaries, and the various subtitle tracks are all taken from both discs.
