Hi Rewak,
Just to address the issue here as well as our Facebook but I'm sorry to hear your concern - to put your mind somewhat at ease the PQ is identical to the Japanese Blu-ray, we received an HDCAM master from Japan via Madhouse directly complete with the 5.1 surround tracks from Japan and used those to create a master.
We were lucky enough to be granted the extras from the original release but sadly the others are restricted by the Japanese homevideo licensor since the Australian release.
If you look at reviews of the Japanese master you will see the same notes on picture quality vs other remasters as the original assets were not stored in great condition and given the nature of the actual remaster in Japan we had to make do with it as was as it's highly irregular and regularly forbidden to alter beyond that.
I would strongly recommend you to try it out before rushing to a judgement as the review also gave it a pretty nice score as I recall!
Very best,
Andrew Partridge,
President, Anime Limited

It's because of two things - firstly there is a rights situation on the English language tracks released as they belong to ADV not Sentai Filmworks as we'd hoped.
Secondly as we have his latest work and are trying to negotiate an arrangement where we at least can do a Blu-Ray of 5CM Per Second for a limited edition Steelbook release including Voices of a Distant Star, Travelling Daru, Place Promised to Us in Our Early Days, 5CM and Garden of Words.
Hang in there with us, it's certainly not fun for us to delay titles and sorry to be causing frustration to you guys too!
Expect a pretty full Q1 schedule from us here...
Andrew,
Anime Limited
