- Film
- Japanese with English subtitles and English dub
- Extras are tentative

Great, two hours of cats sitting in silence looking gormless in HD.

I actually do quite like Night on the Galactic Railroad to the point that I went and read the book after seeing it, but the film really could have used less cats sitting in silence looking gormless.

That depends on whether you're comparing DVD5s or DVD9s. Discotek themselves have said

An interesting feature of Blu-Ray discs is that they can contain SD-resolution video (720x480, 4:3, 29.97fps interlaced video), and we can put a lot of it on a dual-layer BD50 disc -- the equivalent of 5 or 6 dual-layer DVD9s, enough to put a whole season of episodes on a single disc. Since Blu-Rays can use MPEG4/AVC instead of MPEG2 to encode video, you'd also get better video quality at the same bitrate, as well as nicer-looking subtitles and some other advantages.

It just occurred to me - has anyone shared this news with Media Blasters?
