What is the 3×3 Eyes Perfect Collection?
Streamline Pictures, the original American rights holders to 3×3 Eyes, first released the anime dubbed as four 30-minute episodes, one episode per tape, similar to the Japanese release. Streamline later released the anime series on a single bilingual laserdisc, but instead of simply including all four episodes on the LD they decided to edit them together into a 2-hour movie. The title screen at the beginning of the laserdisc refers to the movie version as the 3×3 Eyes Perfect Collection. Later Streamline signed a distribution deal with Orion Video, and Orion released a new, lower-priced video to replace the old four-tape series. This new video was called the 3×3 Eyes Perfect Collection, and it had exactly the same content as the laserdisc (minus the bilingual Japanese language track). So, the Perfect Collection is basically the same as the original four-episode series, but without any breaks between the episodes.
