I've been thinking of buying one of the complete collected versions of it. How ever there seems to be a bunch of different versions I think.

The newer versions are apparently censored (at Shirow's request) so try to find an older copy if you can. Some of the older versions flipped it to read left to right if you care about that.

Or just go sailing and look for whatever version looks good to you.

Yep. The original manga had a lot more humor alongside the more serious aspects. The movie was just so successful that adaptations after that kept closer to it in tone.

The original manga is pretty short, only 10 chapters or so. If you end up liking this version of the anime it's worth a read.

To be fair, that OG movie was a cinematic masterpiece and one of the seminal anime experiences of all time.
