I looked into my copy today and what I can sy so far is that a) it looks much better than on the screen shots and b) that it's closer to a DVD than what one would expect from any Blu-Ray.

I will compare the BD to the German DVD (which is none-anamorphic) when I have the time.

What a pile of crap !

screen cap 1

screen cap 2

That's how the blu-ray looks? Jesus Christ, the Studio Canal dvd released in France looks much better than that.

Or you can get the UK release too:

My favorite spaghetti western outside of the Leone movies so when I saw this thread I was thinking of throwing it in with my next Ghibli order, but what a disappointment. Obvious upscale from an SD source, and a pretty terrible one at that.
