Yeah, I bought the first double-disc edition of Outlaw Star back when it was originally released and liked it a lot. Not enough to buy the rest, obviously, but then DVDs were more expensive back then and sacrifices had to be made. I can't find that first collection, though, so I had to rebuy it.
I've been following the thread about the video quality of the ADV/CPM re-releases. It's disappointing, but at least I get the extras and more compact packaging with the new version of Now and Then, Here and There.
