If you like NGE especially the last 2 episodes and END OF EVANGELION and SHIKI-JITSU then don't worry you'll love LOVE & POP. SHIKI-JITSU is a little bit different in that it's more conventional in terms of plot and structure. And less experimental. (though i would hardly call it a 'normal'...
I have both r2j's, here's a comparison i made for asiandvdguide: http://members.chello.nl/j.komen1/love&pop/0.htm My comments to go with the captures:
Re subtitles, i made scripts for both versions. I finally got hold of a translation of the new scene, more infout about that at the...
In disney's defense, it's a very watchable non-enhanced transfer. When i watch it upconverted to 16:9 on the htpc on a 90 inch screen picture is actually quite good (helped by the rich colors and many close-ups). In fact the low bit rate, 3/2 pulldown cadence glitches around chapter stops and...
http://www.jungle-scs.co.jp/en/ This store sells used r2j's. Never used them myself but i know people who have. You could also try yahoo auctions japan, just c/p the kanji from store links to search. If seller doesn't ship outside japan you could use http://www.rinkya.com/. Not cheap but...
Any chance kiki will be film-sourced? The r2j i have now is video-sourced (wrong flags). Could also do without the massive overscan protection, and the hideous edge enhancement.
Only the first one is 4:3, the other two are 16:9 enhanced.

I second gary's comments about iranianmovies.com. Bought THE MIRROR from them and it came on a dvd-rw with printed stick-on label and cover. Pq was not as bad as gary's captures, but close. When i complained the guy was rude, and it was only until i said i'd get my creditcard co involved that he...
I think aryn was talking about the r1 which according to the reviews i've seen is 16:9. The r2uk however is 4:3 (again, from what i've read - i own the japanese disc myself).
Hm. Just sold my french r2 which was 235 and 16:9 but pq was pretty bad. Oh well still have the ld, and the longer nz cut on vhs. But i'm NOT buying the r1 if it's p&s or even full-frame, no way. Let's hope it's just a mistake and the correct specs will be posted soon.
I'm 'enjoying' my japanese r2 of this masterpiece for over 3 years now. It's oar 2.35:1, 16:9 enhanced, dd 5.1 and film-sourced. Pq is okay considering it's an early release. Main problems are ee and a lot of shimmering/moire. Black level and shadow detail are perfect though (don't forget to...
Watched the laserdisc over 10 times, but this new dvd looks sooooo much better. There's virtually no edge enhancement, so the picture looks very smooth and detailed. Black level is perfect, with deep inky blacks that still have excellent shadow detail. Colors look fine as well, and no...
