Umbrella 4K Blu-ray see caps
Umbrella 4K Blu-ray’s 5.1 is a high-fidelity remix sourced from new transfers of original magnetic elements, with inconsequential differences from the original mix.
Its 2.0 mono is a downmix of this 5.1 remix.
Older BDs and LDs have the original mono mix in varying quality, but are all inferior fidelity-wise to the new 5.1 remix. The digital track on the Bandai/Emotion Japan LD BELL-942 is possibly the best of the bunch.

2008 Japan Blu-ray (BCXA-0085): has English subtitles, better than 2015 Maiden Blu-ray which lacks the original mix
2026 Bandai 4K Blu-ray, but completely DNR'd.
For grain, most release starting from 2007 Japan Bandai Blu-ray (BCXA-0003) are ok.
Bandai 4K Blu-ray? vs 2008 Japan Bandai Blu-ray (BCXA-0085): same video but includes Bandai English dub and original mix
