Before getting excited or envious, I'd wait first to see if the technical presentation is up to snuff or if it's a dated master.

I had a look at the BD and it's not a dated master, even less an upscale. It looks like a recent unfiltered 2K restoration. However, it has the common issue with japanese catalog movies : the black levels are off.

My copy has an issue with the 40 min discussion about the movie : when you select to launch the extra, it instead start the movie. I've checked through BD Info, and the extra is on the disc, so it looks like a bad authoring.

This release is a dual format one, so you can still look at the extra through the DVD, but only in SD obviously.

I'll check but it looks like it's Region B locked. Not sure also about the french subs being forced or not.

Thanks for the quick review tenia. Hope for an english-friendly release at some point in time.
