It's more of a Gkids issue than anything since AL used their disc. I remember watching the UK premiere of CotS in 2019 at SLA, which used the Gkids subs and you couldn't really register the signs since they often interrupted dialogue. Gkids are doing a great job bringing anime movies to English...

Tokyo Laboratory - Anime News Network:W This is the lab where all the recent in-house Discotek restorations were found

I hope this next announcement is Oedo, since that new proper film transfer looks swish

Can someone please confirm what the aspect ratio for Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is? The recent English subtitled trailer is in full 16:9, but some of the previous trailers are in letterbox 2:35:1.

Those 4K scans have pretty heavy DNR though. We'll see what happens.

I wonder if Discotek will license rescue the first six Conan movies, which were released by Funimation. The first 300 odd eps were cel animated, so I could see them doing BDs in the future.

The old Cyber City Blu comes with a documentary about the history of the series, it's impact on UK fandom and putting together the Blu. There are parts where you can tell they are making things up, like "there's no film master of the whole thing" and it "looks good on on a modern display" when...

Be nice if it was. I was shocked by the video quality on the old BD. Robert Woodhead's visit to the Tokyo Lab has lead to some priceless discoveries in regards to film preservation. Makes me wonder if the doc will be updated, as it is outdated and contains blatant lies.

I have a feeling Netflix might get Cucuruz Doan's Island, as they got the streaming rights to the 0079 movie trilogy and CCA.

Well, Criterion was provided poor materials for Godzilla films on purpose by Toho, and the Japanese cut of King Kong vs Godzilla was hardsubbed and is based on a HDTV master. I'm going to assume this is to prevent reverse importation, but it's still disappointing.

if you want to watch the Miyazaki doc it is streaming on NHK, the Blu might be nice for preservation purposes

NGL, the price for Conan has put me off. Might wait till a sale. While I am all for AL tapping the 4K BD market, it is still a very small market. I do not have a 4K BD player so those will be useless to me. Personally, it would have been cool if they included the soundtrack CD, which just so...

shame it's not showing in Bristol

How random reminds me of what happened with the recent Evangelion Death/EOE showing where the advertised Classic Dub showings used the Netflix dub

I like Hosoda's early films, but I was let down by Boy and the Beast and Mirai, which suffered by only having Hosoda handle the writing. IMO, he works best with a good collaborator like Reiko Yoshida or Satoko Okudera

Looks like key animation for Hayao Miyazaki's next film, How Do You Live?, will be completed in February. I imagine Covid must've sped up production. 2023/2024 release might be plausible, as Suzuki said it was "at least three years away" in early 2021.

The teaser trailer and theatrical poster for Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island have just been released. The film is a retelling of Episode 15 of the original TV 1979 series, and will be directed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. It will be releasing in Summer 2022. Hopefully an international...

It looks the AL / Gkids BD of Lupin III: The First use the theatrical version rather than the home video version, as 2D smoke is missing. Seems more an issue with TMS than anything though, as other territories didn't have the smoke in the intro.

On-Gaku: Our Sound has bits of unsubbed dialogue, which is pretty noticeable in one scene. There's are two instances of songs which aren't subtitled, and there's also some signs which aren't translated.

Tell Clements that he's a fake Hosoda fan if he thinks that Digimon: Our War Game and One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island were "work-for-hire"
