A-Tier

The Bandai Visual Japan Limited Edition is the canonical 4K and the one to chase if you want it done right. Funimation's US disc cycles through Walmart at $12 USD like clockwork and it's perfectly serviceable, though anyone who grew up on the Streamline dub still keeps the older Blu-ray with the 192kHz 5.1 mix nearby. The South Korean 4K is a quiet upgrade on the US disc with the same English options, and Madman's Australian release exists if you can get Diabolik to import it.
