OVERALL: Draw
R3 Korea has the best extras, including an audio commentary, a "Korean dub" featurette and notes, however extras are presumably not English-friendly.
R2 Japan comes close behind and has some nice collectables but the disc based extras are not English-friendly.
R1 loses the audio commentary but has the best English-friendly extras, including an exclusive "Behind the Microphone" featurette.
NOTE: There is also a Taiwan release that's meant to be similar to the Japan edition but we don't have access to a full and reliable review so if you have this release or know of a reliable review then please let us know via the forums.
A comparison between R1 and R2 Finland is available on our forums.
