There are 2 versions available from ADV in region 1: The Complete Daimajin is OAR but non-anamorphic and out of print, and there's the individual releases of each film which are anamorphic but not OAR.

Edit: Actually Return of Daimajin is OAR but the other two are not.

The two best versions available are actually (imho) the R2 Daei discs that each sport English language subs. They are all OAR and anamorphically presented. I caught a sale on them some years back and paid about $40 per title. As I noted they are R2 so, you will need to be region-free to watch
these.

The ADV box set has pretty decent quality and can be had on eBay anywhere from $12 to $25 dollars depending on...well, who knows the rhyme and reason here. I have the later induvidual reissues and they look even better, although there was much criticism about the aspect ratio on the second feature. Its still looks pretty darn good regardless and I'm OK with it.

So, if you are not a purist in this regard the OAR these are your best bet. Try AMAZON...got mine there for about $12 each.
