Viewing Notes

Happy to finally own this on Blu-ray and it looks decent. However, having a OLED with true black really highlights how lacking the PQ is where the black tone is more dark grey.

The English dub is not great and often takes the viewer out of the movie bc it’s so distracting with all the bizarre accents. Minus a half point for that. Next time I’ll watch the Japanese version.
