Ironically it's probably a less confusing experience than watching it with the subs that currently exist for it.

I put on Urusei Yatsura Beautiful Dreamer. The last pressing of the 4:3 master on Laserdisc. The transfer is not that good. You know some of the late issue laserdiscs look as good as DVD sometimes this one looks like an obvious old tape source. I'm glad to have it don't get me wrong because i don't have the Japanese VHS. Audio is mono and not good at all full of hiss.

Somehow the Letterbox LD, 16:9 anamorphic DVD and Blu-ray from Japan all came from a remastered source. If the film was composed at 4:3 why hasn't TOHO remastered it?

Hi skyjedi. Can you link to the Letterboxed LD of Beautiful Dreamer? I can only find two 4:3 issue from Japan. I have all the UY LDs from Animeigo but this is the only UY movie I don't have.

I watched the second pressing of the Star Wars Definitive Collection from Japan the one that comes with the making of trilogy, mine is missing a bit of Leia welding on the Falcon in Empire Strikes Back.

I also watched Phantom Menace Japanese Laserdisc, and i mean to watch all of the special edition because i just got in the Japan boxed set from 1997.

I think I have the same set and I can't remember if this shot is missing, I will check. Thanks for the DM on UY Movie 2 btw, appreciated.
