Raw used is a scan of a 16 mm film, captured by Kineko Video and provided by MartyMcFlies.
The subs are the same as in Orphan release of the LD version of the show, albeit with simplified typesetting because the image is a lot more jittery and this is meant to be a “side” release, a strange alternative for those few who could actually prefer this over the “main” LD version, because oh boy, this film had seen better days. The video is rife with film aging artifacts, most notably the weird blue flickering, which you don’t really notice until you start watching it. Still, I think it deserves to be released because even with all the artifacts it looks considerably crispier than the LD and comes in genuine 1080p.
Video is AVC, audio is PCM. Subs are retimed by me.
This TV special combines animation and live-action sections, but since most of it is animation, I think this category is more fitting.
TL notes:
Upd: so I guess I forgot to include fonts in the .mkv because I never have to do this for my own releases, and forgot to mark the sub track as English. This one is due a reupload.
Be sure to grab and install these before watching.
