I will never understand how this got funded as the film will never make a profit due to how limited its availability is. I trust the film´s middling reputation and it also had a negative effect on the manga.
It went through design shifts and retcons to line it up with a film most readers will never see. Especially after its initial release a decade ago. Can´t say that this reader was happy to be put on a near-decade hiatus to only get a worse manga when it returned due to this very film.

The film only screens in 4K. Both streaming and Ultra HD can do just that. Dito for the film´s audio mix. To say that it can´t be experienced outside of rare screenings in Japanese theaters is total wank. How the film looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU5pMBLfobk

it's just a marketing scheme to attract idiots. it's pretty much a cashgrab scheme so they can attract moviegoers to the film's screenings.

only downside of it is this scheme is the most braindead film scheme i've ever sceen

you can never take down piracy sites, it's like a hydra. if you cut one head, two spawns. the only way is to make your service so good to the point that turning to piracy ones would be inconvenient

and good luck with that when most avid pirated anime watchers are from the third world, the most thing that make a ceo go batshit insane is the concept of ''regional pricing''

He needs to release this, before it becomes lost media; modern PCs & mobile devices running video at 4K/24-30 are common now.

I’ve accepted Nagano is one of those turbo auteur types who will never let his work be animated in any conventional fashion, even if Netflix threw all the money at him for a 1:1 Five Star Stories, the same way I’ve accepted as long as Masaki Kajishima controls it, we’ll never get a proper Tenchi Muyo reboot that tries to make the story coherent. But that doesn’t make this any less annoying.
