The first real Blu RAy scan was done for Ponyo, i hope they don’t dump the old dvd masters to disc via a mathmatical upscale it will look like crap.

With the Status of Ghibli and its pedigree i would hope they would have pristine vaulted elements archived, and with Disney having a stake in things too they should have enough money to do new Blu Rays just leave out the color tampering and dvnr please!

Wrong aspect ratios, edge enhancement, heavy cropping, gate weave that would give you motion sickness, and poor color timing are some of incompetence displayed in existing masters. They haven’t even had a direct digital transfer despite all their films being digital for 10 years. The masters they’ve used are from ancient times.

I don’t want the grain, cel shadows, or cel dust removed, but they still need to be carefully remastered from the best elements possible. Time is slowly taking these films away from us. And no one in charge seems to understand or care.
