Toei only has a raw SD scan of some 16mm prints.
- The AB Video Blu-Ray is a SDBD, with additional remastering done by AB Group for the audio and video.
- The Yamato Video Blu-Ray is an upscale of Toei master with DNR and some color correction.

Both releases have ups and downs. Some says the processing on Yamato release is excessive. I don't like the slight yellow tint of the AB release either. If you are in the US, the AB release may not play on your TV, as it is 720x576.

the JP BD is a proper remaster but unfortunately the scan seems to be have done in advance prior to any sort of remastering work & thus Toei did some excessive filtering to reduce scanner artifacts

Would be awesome to see a Discotek release, SD or otherwise.
