It's so nice!

Nice. Mine just shipped yesterday.

The yesasia pictures didn't reveal too much and I couldn't find any other details at the time, but I decided to order it anyway. Now I'm happy... it looks like they did a nice job.

Could you please inform on the video quality on this release? Saw this on yesasia a few days ago, but really wanted to get a word on the video. A few screenshots, if possible, would help a lot! Many thanks.

Just in case someone doesn't realize it... there's an American blu-ray of this. Picked mine up for $15 last week.

I'd like to know as well, I heard that it was encoded with MPEG-2.

I don't have the capabilities of taking screenshots. However I thought the PQ was stunning.

Does the Taiwanese release contain the Extended cut?

Dan Average · 02-16-2017, 12:25 AM

No, that cut was done specifically for Japan to make up for the fact that Hou's preferred cut deleted almost all of Tsumabuki's part. But it has the deleted material available separately as a special feature.
