Does the print on the Bd look worse than the clips in the trailer that Kishiro posted right after the above post?

Way worse. I wish Shout's BD looked half as good as that Japanese trailer.

I probably read your response at the time and filed it away as "I'll just have to ignore this release then".

Until the thread got bumped when Rayjg posted it was 60% sold. Then FOMO activated my lizard brain and suddenly I had to make plans to order it.

I'd been meaning to pick up Lady In Red before it sold out too, so this seemed like the excuse to grab both.

Sorry to read (again) how poor the PQ is. Wouldn't be the first time the print on a trailer looked superior to some release of the film itself. I'll probably just keep this sealed for the time being now.
