I was very disappointed when I got my R2 Princess Mononoke. I felt its image quality is below the R1. It has visible edge enhancement and a huge overscan.

I had to wait for several months before I got the R1 disc back from my friend to do the comparison. Well, here it is at last!

Judge these scenes for yourself:
