While I don't have the Japanese blu-ray for this film (I have the Italian bd), I can vouch for Happinet as a company overall. I have their Romero Dead trilogy (Night, Dawn and Day) on bd as well as Creepshow 2 bd. They generally used BD-50's with decent bitrates. Also, Japan is region A and Amazon.jp orders get to you within 2-4 days after you place the order (even in the U.S.). I waited 3 weeks to get my Italian version from Amazon.it. If I didn't already own the film, I'd place the order for the Happinet blu-ray right now.

Probably going to get this as it is region A.

Question....how are the transfers on Dawn and Day Hapinet editions? I already have Night's Hapinet, and for the sequels I have the Arrow editions that have other cuts of Dawn on DVD, and Day's which is on Blu. I also have Day's Scream Factory version. Any info will help.....thanks.

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now. Dawn has all three cuts on blu-ray for better or for worse. There are pros and cons with all of the blu-ray releases of Dawn (I have Arrow, Happinet, Umbrella and AB). Day is an easier answer. The Happinet release has a higher bitrate than the Anchor Bay blu-ray. It is similar to the Arrow blu-ray in terms of color, aspect ratio, etc. The Scream Factory version is very slightly cropped, changes the color scheme (for better or worse) but contains the theatrical audio in stereo if I recall correctly. There isn't a definitive release of any of the three Romero films unfortunately. I would recommend the Happinet versions of the sequels for die hards if they can get them for a reasonable price. I paid a premium by preordering and wish I hadn't.
