OVERALL: Draw
- The Japanese release is in the original 1.66:1 aspect ratio, with an anamorphic transfer and both the original 2.0 Surround and 5.1 remix soundtracks, but it isn't English friendly.
- R1 LE is slightly reframed at 1.78:1 and offers only a 5.1 remix, but it is still Anamorphic, has a featurette on its second disc, comes with two books and is English friendly.
Note that the UK edition has an exclusive documentary, but the movie isn't anamorphic.
A DVD edition of the movie is also available in the Japanese Blu-ray set, but its specifications are currently unknown.
