Editor's Notes

Note

D-Tier Anime Limited. Satoshi Kon's animated love letter to Japanese cinema. No 4K version exists yet, though Shout Factory's Blu-ray release was welcomed after it was the last Kon film without a proper home video edition. People are hoping for a 4K with HDR and asking about a Paranoia Agent restoration.
