Detailed
description of opening and ending changes
|

On the Bio Hunter DVD (no confirmation on the VHS versions), the end credits on the original Japanese version occurs *after* the demon jumps away: There is a fade to black, and then the a variety of ornate "Rune Carvings Illustrations" (still frames) appear as the Japanese End Credits scroll up. The rune illustrates famous Japanese demons like "Garuda," etc. In the North American version (probably because Urban Vision couldn't
get a version without the Japanese Kanji scrolling), they PAUSE the picture
on the last frame of the demon jumping away, and then scroll up English
