wait... that's incorrect. ps5 plays UHD blu rays and does 4k.

You are correct. Dunno why I thought it didn't.😅

Watched it last night on my PS5 and 4K TV. Finally went to bed at 2am.

Apart from a few blurry parts it was fantastic.

The blurry parts are due to the original film.  Same goes for the film grain that is visible in this 4K release.  The blurry parts are a good thing if you care about preservation of the original film look.

DYRL, Akira, Transformers, and a few other 1980s animated movies are the last true fully handmade animated movies.  After them, computer aided animation became common.

My friend and I went to see the movie at the Toho Cinema in Utsunomiya. My friend was only familiar with Plus and Frontier, but had never seen the original. It was shown on screen 6 and there was this mini poster outside of the entrance in the picture above. It was quite an experience to see this in a theater for the first time.

It was fully surround sound, too. In 2020, during the beginning of the madness of the era of Corona-chan when every other theater seat was taped off for the purposes of the "social distancing" nonsense, several Studio Ghibli movies were being shown in theaters to keep them going. I took the opportunity to see Nausicaa at the cinema. It was in stereo only, which wouldn't have been so bad, but only the front two left/right speakers were active. If they would have just had all of the left speakers and all of the right speakers active it wouldn't have been so bad, but only the front two speakers by the screen made sound and it took a while to get used to that. It was a cool experience to see Nausicaa on the big screen, but seeing DYRL really dwarfed that experience.

The beginning of the credits with the song "Tenshi no Enogu" featured the animation from Flashback, which has been the standard since the second laserdisc release. The decapitation scenes were not edited, so this was the original movie experience (plus the Flashback concert animation). I'm gonna buy this release.

I'm glad my friend could go with me. My daughter calls this the "uaki ("cheating") movie" because she was on Team Minmay when she first saw it, and was offended when Hikaru kissed Misa in the underwater city. I have this same movie poster on my wall, so I guess she was expecting the movie to be a love story between Hikaru and Minmay and got pissed. So whenever I'd play this laserdisc movie, she'd gripe a bit. Now I wanna get it on bluray and make her gripe more.

Nice! I'm still waiting for my limited edition (with the 300 page script) 

Still hasn't shipped and may have to get the regular edition if the seller falls through. Can't wait.

Honesly, I'm very grateful with the proper english-subs being included this time, but it would've been more awesome if BV or BW went the distance and included an english-translated booklet .  There is room for it in the box.

Maybe in the next DYRL-8k release?

The movie looks absolutely incredible in 4k with HDR! While it may not be perfect, it's definitely the best way to watch "DYRL?". I'm so glad they released this!

There will never be an 8K release. No point in it. You'd never notice the difference. You'd have to be sitting within 5 feet of a 100-inch 8K TV to tell the difference between 8K and 4K. Never mind there's no physical media that can adequately support it, and streaming can't even come close to properly doing 4K.

Kawamori would have to have a significant change of heart to revisit this movie in 4K. This scrubbed, glowed-up release is exactly what he wanted. That said, they did something like three different releases of DYRL in HD over the years, yeah?
