In fact, the crop was done after the show was made. So native 4:3 with footage never before seen!

Plus new extras! A Japanese promo, a US promo, and a clean ED from the original 35mm.

Original script?

Wish they wouldn’t have printed the Blu-ray logo and the HD remaster bit on the case itself…

It's not printed on the steelbook. They said during the livestream that the logo and text are printed on the PET slipcover.

Thank goodness, that would have been a bad decision. Thanks for the clarification.

Nice looking steelbook don't think i've seen this one before but have heard of it in name though.

The OVA series has been remastered for the 1st time ever.

It includes both edited & uncut subs so you can watch it as you wish, plus the classic dub.

This one comes in a fancy steelbook & has a few new extras.

A few screenshot samples to show off how the series looks nice.

It was cropped when it was finished on tape, so for the 1st time, 4:3 with more animation.

We're presenting it as best as is possible, remastered, for the 1st time, with a few new extras.

And the steelbook looks fantastic.

I was not super proud of the old disc (upscaling a letterboxed analog master is not ideal). Very happy I got to redo it with a super clean new transfer.

I haven’t even seen the previous blu-ray I bought yet (or the anime at all for that matter) .

Got mine in the mail today.
As someone who likes to rip their discs, it's very annoying that all 6 episodes are just one large file. But otherwise the video looks great, huge improvement over the previous release. Plus the steelbook looks nice.

Any chance you could post some photos?

Not sure if this is happening to anybody else. The slipcase for the steelbook is leaving some scuff and scratches on the surface. It’s a pretty steelbook but I’m ocd about this stuff so it can be annoying. OCD Steelbook buyer beware!

Happens a lot with steelbooks being removed from slipcases. Especially if they're glossy.

Some people keep the steelbooks in a poly bag inside slipcases to avoid it.

[Bobafett345]

Haven't seen this one, but the anime steels are almost always amazing looking!

[d3nt0n]

I'll take some pictures when I get home. In the meantime here's a script to split the video into separate files to hopefully save someone else some headache.

Looks great, really happy to see the Blu-ray logo and Brand New HD Remaster part are actually on a slip and not the SteelBook itself. Not grabbing this one personally, but it has me excited to see what Discotek do for SteelBook releases going forwards.
