Really love these movies. There's something great about the atmosphere of the original Daimajin that really works for me

I have the Mill Creek version (2 disc set from 2012 - I actually have X2 copies, both slipped and one is sealed, very sad!).

So I was just wondering how the new Arrow ones will be (quality wise). Hopefully we don't have any new colour grading (let's avoid the orange & real low contrast trends! ) - just a higher quality encode maybe.

At least the original Daimajin movie now gets it's own disc

In terms of extras, the Mill Creek had cinematographer Fujio Morita's interviews (and general discussions) split into three (one for each movie) - so it seems interesting that Arrow are presenting as a single video now (should run around 90 minutes as the run times were around 30 mins each on the individual parts).

My pre-order is in, looking forward to seeing Arrow's version.
