The JP UHD release of Ghost in the Shell is substancially different from the Lionsgate release.
First of all, only stereo adio tracks are included, both for the JP and EN dub.
So no 5.1 or Atmos remix, these (to my knowledge) were never included on any japanese release of the movie.
Living Inside the Shell does play as the credits song of the JP audio and One Minute Warning as the EN credit song, unlike the Lionsgate release which apparently messed that up and used One Minute Warning as the song on every track.

The color grading from on the Lionsgate release is completly different than the one found on this release.
Lionsgate seems to have increased the brightness levels of the HDR grade, perhaps in an effort to give it more "pop", but I really do not like it.
The Lionsgate disc also had Dolby Vision, the Bandai release doesn't.

As for the grade itself, I really love it quite a lot.
It's quite dim most of the time but there are many moments where it goes above 100 nits.

Mastering display luminance : min: 0.0050 cd/m2, max: 1000 cd/m2 
Maximum Content Light Level : 873 cd/m2 
Maximum Frame-Average Light Level : 271 cd/m2

Also, unlike most UHD releases of anime films which are often sourced from SDR material and remain within Rec.709 color range, this one doesn't.
The Rec.2020 color gamut is used to great extent, bringing richer colors without looking oversaturated, mostly thanks to remaining quite dim.
This results in a very organic looking picture with a lot of depth and nuance, I really love it.

No caps included as those can already be found on cap-a-holic and I'm feeling a bit lazy, but here are some waveforms and CIE Chromaticity graphs for you to look at.

Bear in mind the preview window for Davinci Resolve does not do tonemapping when reviewing HDR content, so it does not reflect what the actual grading look like and should only be used as reference for what the waveforms are indicating.





Yes, it's grain managed (to a certain extent), no there isn't a ton more detail on here than on the blu-ray, but this is still the best release of the movie out there.
The HDR grade is fantastic and the amount of DNR is low enough for it to remain quite filmic.
This is an all around a great disc, and it has english subs so go grab it now that its price has dropped down.

Does the English subtitle match the JP dialogue? Or is it dubtitle?

The German distributor KSM Anime is aware of the One Minute Warning issue in the Lionsgate masters. Might get fixed for their upcoming release (or not). I don't think they're aware of the missing line in the Japanese 5.1/Atmos remix though.

how do you activate the dolby surround effect?

Dolby Pro Logic or a DTS equivalent (if you prefer) through your receiver. DTS encoders have a flag you can add to a track which automatically does it, but it’s a rarely used feature for whatever reason.

ahh ok i use that for Project AKO film from Discotek Media and the Dolby surround is well done! on my sony receiver. some of my dvds like char's counter attack, carried by the wind and non anime like law and order and ducktales film dvd activate on it's own

Wasn't Ghost in the Shell natively mixed in 5.1? As most theatrical screenings were Dolby Stereo LRCS, all mixes had to be derived from the master mix element which was presumably 6 channel.

No. Japanese films were quite slow to adopt Dolby Digital 5.1, with Whisper of the Heart being the first film natively mixed in Dolby AC-3, Ghost in the Shell was only released 4 few months later in standard Dolby Stereo. I'm surprised an "armchair expert" wannabe like yourself didn't even bother checking the credits for confirmation.

Also consider that every Japanese release is in 2.0 Matrixed audio, not one discreet surround track on a JP release.

Bleach: Fade to Black - Viz 2011 Standalone vs. Viz 2022 4-Pack

I only compared Fade to Black because it's the only one of these movies I've already seen [edit: check Mangaranga's post about Hell Verse]. I also skimmed through Memories of Nobody to make sure Viz didn't do some kind of upscale for the first two movies, and it appeared to me to be native HD(?)

Comparison here

2011 Standalone




2022 4-Pack




The bitrate is lower on the new disc (which, if you're out of the loop, has two movies on it) but there seems to be no discernable loss of detail. In fact, the old Blu-ray seems more flawed than the new one. Particularly, the 2011 disc seems to be horizontally squished, leaving some blank space on the left side, and there is visible haloing at the edges of the frame. The 2022 disc is at full horizontal resolution and has no such haloing.

Given that the first two movies are finally in HD [edit: only the second movie], and assuming Hell Verse is as presentable as Fade to Black is here [edit: not quite], this collection could be the best way to collect these movies in English.

[Mangaranga]

I actually disagree based on the comparisons presented above. The new disc does look worse, and if anything actually looks to be in the incorrect AR due to an overcrop on the left side. The last comparison in particular shows that detail has actually been cropped out of the frame. Given the vintage of the film, it wouldn't surprise me if the artifacts at the edge of the frame are actually due to being mastered on a standard HDCAM (1440x1080) and stretched back to 16:9 for the encode. If you look at quite a lot of discs from around/after the worldwide HDCAM-SR shortage in 2011, a lot of them exhibit the same issue in that regard - usually on both sides of the frame.

This is gonna be a long one, sorry

Video history:
So Part 1 has a complicated HD history.

			Raw HD Scan	____		
				|		        \
				|			 \
			        \/			  \
			"Netflix" Master                   \
				|			    \
				|		 Discotek's restoration
				\/
				JPBD

First, you have the raw HD scan which all HD masters of Part 1 are based off of.
I don't know when this scan was done, nor what year.
The scan was not done from the OCNs, but rather from 35mm prints (Excluding Episode 17B, which i'll get to later)

Next came the "Netflix" master, so called because the main source for it was Netflix. However, I have heard that it was originally created for use on WOWOW's HD service, and it has also seen use in recent years on other streaming services like Pluto TV.

The Netflix master has no color grading changes whatsoever from the raw scan, but does however do some of the same changes as the JPBD does, such as fixing an animation error in Episode 6, and some minor scratch/film damage removal

Finally there is the JPBD, which introduced the infamous "freezegrain" process, and bad color correction which blooms the image to hell

Luckily, Discotek was given access to the previously mentioned raw scans, and was able to do their own color correction + restoration process

The result is the best Part 1 has ever looked. Grain looks great, encoding is superb as always, and the new color correction looks very nice.

Episode 1 bitrate


Episode 1 Gallery






The Episode 17 Issue:

Since at least the 90s (possibly the 80s?) TMS has had to use a 16mm print for the B part of Episode 17. This 16mm print has not aged well, and is very grainy, faded, and blurry. Other releases such as the JPBDs attempted to hide it's age by subjecting it to filtering hell, scrubbing the image more than Mr. Clean

In the new restoration, colors have been slightly corrected to make the image fit in with the rest of the 35mm episode, and I think they did a good job for what they had to work with

Episode 17B Gallery



Audio:

Two audio tracks: Japanese mono, and the new English dub (Stereo?).

Episodes 3 and 23 have commentary tracks with Reed Nelson, Episodes 4 and 13 have commentary tracks with Mike Lepore and Ryan Gilbert.

Some notes about them:

The Japanese mono does not sound that good
It sounds like it came from some optical film source, probably the film prints used for the scan themselves.
It's not terrible, but it's really muffled in general
Every release I've seen has the same audio quality, so IMO it can be assumed without much doubt that the tape masters for the JP audio have been lost

However, the English dub, in terms of fidelity, sounds much better
It is immediately obvious that the backing M&E track is of significantly higher quality, and the music sounds better than you've ever heard it before.


Overall thoughts:

This is a great release in general, I really hope Discotek gets more opportunities down the line to be able to fix up bad remasters
With Part 1 done, the last part not released on BD in US is Part 2

that has its own set of problems

Thanks for the info! Are the OCN's lost? And will they get around to Part 2?

Comparison (expires on July 19 2024)

[Show spoiler]NL BD


JP BD


I had sworn off Periscoop Film Blu-ray releases because of their poor track record, but after somebody sent me some footage I decided to buy this release. Turns out to be a pretty decent release with correct colors and gamma. The main difference in picture quality comes from the use of a deband filter on the JP BD, which also adds grain to the image.

The encode was done in x264 with the following settings:

Writing library                          : x264 core 155
Encoding settings                        : cabac=1 / ref=4 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=8 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=36 / lookahead_threads=6 / sliced_threads=0 / slices=4 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / stitchable=1 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=0 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=1 / keyint=24 / keyint_min=1 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=24 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=26000 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / vbv_maxrate=34000 / vbv_bufsize=26000 / nal_hrd=vbr / filler=0 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=3:1.00

Since this is region free and has English subtitles, this might be a viable alternative to the Crunchyroll US/UK/AU release. However, the 24fps framerate suggests that the cinema version was used, just like most of Periscoop Film's anime home video releases (except for Your Name and Promare). I have not been able to verify if there are any changes made to this film's home video version, but regardless, the use of cinema version is not something that should happen.

Saw some screenshots of the Crunchyroll release. The screenshots were taken in VLC (wrong colorspace, nearest neighbor scaling of chroma), but I could tell that it's worse than the Dutch BD. Just like other FuCR releases of, let's say, the last year, it's debanded without masks which results in loss of detail. To make matters worse they end up introducing banding in the final encode because of weak grain/compression.

Part 1, most likely due to its extreme failure on original airing, was not taken care of well by TMS. Considering that it seems the same print has been used since at least the 80s (I own both of the LD boxsets) I don't think TMS has OCNs anymore

Part 2 is ridiculously complicated situation, its Blu-ray looks really bad, and is filtered to the point that some think its actually upscaled (I don't know whether it is or not because it seems to have different colors and framing than the DVDs)

I am reasonably certain due to that Discotek is probably saving Part 2 for the very last, its just too much of a mess master-wise and is very long (155 episodes)

It’s alright.

I never posted about it because it’s not a disaster on its own like Belle, nor would I be absolutely confident in saying it’s amazing. It’s a 30 mbps VBR encode with no major compression issues, but it’s shockingly soft to the point where it’s either an artistic choice (very much possible given how stylized the film is), was produced at a lower resolution (in which case, a resolution rescale would’ve been preferable), or the film was LPF’d to some degree (possibly quite heavily) to compress easier. I never posted about it because I don’t have the JP BD to compare to, so these are just guesses on my part, and they all seem pretty likely, so I dunno.

It’s cheap and the director’s commentary is great, so it’s worth it for that, but maybe hold out and see if other English speaking territories make their own discs, instead.

Thanks.

The softness seems to be an artistic choice. JP BD screenshots on the web are quite soft.

DoBlu's review has screenshots of GKIDS BD. Funny how the review says "avoids banding" when it's right there in the screenshots.

Think I'll wait for the UK plans.

I know it doesn't have Eng subtitles but how is the picture quality of the Blood+ Blu-ray? Which, given the exchange rate of the yen, is probably half as much as what it would cost to buy the old DVD sets and given Aniplex's track record probably will never get a domesric release.

Screencaps from Episode 1


Overall its obviously an upscale. The lines are soft, and there is some small amounts of banding (but this banding is on the DVDs as well). There is some detail loss in some images compared to the DVDs, but there is also some detailed revealed so its not all bad/good. An example of this mix would be image 6 where you can see more detail in the hand on the BD, but you can notice the detail around the eye is slightly less than the DVD

I did my best to do some comparison pictures. I noticed only after the fact image 4 is slightly a frame or 2 off.

https://slow.pics/c/3jfk6yLg

I personally would consider this set an upgrade purely because the lack of compression noise from the DVD MPEG2 compression is worth the slight detail loss in some small parts of the scene, and the detailed gained elsewhere is a nice bonus.

It's a competent upscale that doesn't cause any glaring issues. I would say at the price of the set if you already have the DVDs then there isn't any real reason to grab this, but if your like me and don't mind unsubbed/dubbed sets, and don't want to risk disc rot then its definitely worth a pickup at the right price.

Thanks. Sounds good.

Your Name - Kimi no na wa - FR/UK 4K UHD BD Animelimited/Alltheanime

Will likely update this later on with a BDinfo scan but mostly wanted to talk about the HDR grade.

In short, it's real good, especially for an early 4K anime conversion.
I've said before that it's quite faithful to the SDR grade, but since then titles like Cagliostro, Violet Evergarden and Belle have come out which match the definition much better.

Your Name 4K is more transformative than I remembered, but not by a ton either.
Going above 100 nits is very frequent in this one, but without going very high either, not until we get to the big stuff like the comet and some explosions.
Otherwise, it's mostly used to give more dynamic range to highlights.

You'd think some scenes would go above 100 nits more often, like the opening sequence while RADWIMPS screams in your ears, but no, these parts remain mostly under 100 aside from the odd highlights.
Same thing goes for the dream sequences, they don't get very bright and feel more comfy.
It makes these scenes feel softer in comparison, which I quite like.

It's overall a great HDR grade, although you don't really get any extra detail from it, just more dynamic range, as it's still a conversion based on an SDR grade.
Your Name being already a fantastic looking movie, this really makes for quite the eye pleasing experience.

Mastering display luminance : min: 0.0050 cd/m2, max: 1000 cd/m2 
Maximum Content Light Level : 777 cd/m2 
Maximum Frame-Average Light Level : 370 cd/m2

Now what about the use of the Rec.2020 colorspace ?
Well, that remains quite subtle. Most of the film stays in the Rec.709 range, but some shots do exhibit blues going beyond that.
Nighttime scenes in particular exhibit this the most.

In the end, that part isn't changed all that much since messing around too much with colorimetry is not a good idea for an animated movie from the digital era, so again, a good thing.

In summary, this UHD release does change a lot of things thanks to its HDR master, but in a way I find to be very thoughtful and controlled.
Your Name being more of a blockbuster title than others, going above 100 nits as much as it does makes sense compared to something like Violet Evergarden let's say, but it seems like Q-tec was still experimenting there and I'm not sure we'll ever see another Q-tec 4K upscale looking like this ever again.

Bear in mind the preview window for Davinci Resolve does not do tonemapping when reviewing HDR content, so it does not reflect what the actual grading look like and should only be used as reference for what the waveforms are indicating.

Also decided this time to use the Y graph instead of the RGB one as that's easier to read and should be more accurate

Regarding the 2021 re-release of The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat, has there been any issues with the subtitles with the Henneko BBS shorts? The UK release, which uses the discs from the re-release, are missing the subtitles in the second short, while the sixth short repeats the subtitles from the first short.

EDIT: Main reason for asking is that some UK releases using overseas BDs and DVDs have shown up problems that the overseas releases didn't have (e.g. MVM's release of Air had a subtitle error where the first 2 episodes use the subtitle translations from the Air in Summer episodes (this was fixed in later copies), and Funimation UK's BD release of K-On had video glitches on discs 2, 3 and 4 (all of which were based on Madman's port of Bandai Entertainment's discs) (they have since been fixed).
