Viewing Notes

Picked this up again from my library since it’s been a few years… also I was curious if they still had it since the DVD is basically a collectors item now (things like that usually get stolen from the system). Glad they still have it. I adore this movie and wish it got a remastered HD treatment for NA release (IIRC, it was released on Blu in Japan in the Toho Collection series w/Godzilla but as usual w/o subs).
