Reiji Matsumoto Anime Theater: The Movie [LSTD01070]

Does anybody know what is on this disc?
I see in the comments that it looks like episodes, but are they different than what was aired or in other box sets?
Only interested in the GE999 and Harlock stuff.

Of the 999 movie I’m reading, “This short movie is a remake of the first half of episode 3 of Ginga Tetsudou 999”

I’d say they are probably all at least technically unique. They always make special (often short) movies for those festival things.

EDIT: Also it says they are all scope so there’s that too. At least the framing will be different than any TV episode.

Oh I didn't even see that, thx for pointing that out, scope would make it different.
I did a little searching but couldn't find much.

I had this many, many years ago and it had different versions of the same pilot, this pilot came in the theater box set too.
Lupin the 3rd: Secret File (1989) [TLW 2135]

Anyway found the Leiji disc and had not paid much attention to it when I've seen copies on ebay in the past, thought it was some type of documentary.
I don't know enough Japanese to make docu's worth my time and interest anymore.

Yeah these all look like those specials where they would just take an episode of the TV series and either just crop it to widescreen as is, or edit them in some way, including adding new scenes.

Although the reframing 1.33:1 to scope usually makes for a rather cramped experience, I've watched some of the Kamen Rider ones like that.

At least the Danguard Ace ones would be in a much better quality than the subtitled bootleg rips floating around.

Most of the short summer festival movies I can think of are all new material. All the Dragonball ones, Macross 7, Mazinger, ranger shows, etc. Sometimes it’s a special episode of the current series and so it will have intros and outro. Sometimes it’s like Miller’s Report which was a movie length clip show with significant new material.

Whatever it is, it was unique at the time of it playing or else they wouldn’t have bothered showing it.
