Thank you! I have seen the anime adaptation so I recognized the story right away. I always love Mifune!

I hope someone can find a better release than the one I offer here.

On possible other versions:

Spoiler: DEAD 12Gb torrents: [Code] [Code] NO SEEDERS. But maybe a private torrent site would have something live. The source is apparently Amazon.jp, with inexpensive rental. [Code] I do not know how to rip from there myself. I don't have your version yet but if you are severely dissatisfied with the smaller ~2Gb RARBG and YTS versions then the problem may be that the source has not been restored. (Just a guess.) Or you have high standards! It is also on the Criterion Channel for members: [Code]

I have an account at Amazon Japan and could rent and download it. I would have to buy a new gift card. There only ¥272 left.

God thanks we have subtitles!

Thanks, nota-bene!

I want to see ghost eMuling a full 12Gb WebRip. He could do it.

I thought you were a Criterion member too? My bad memory?

Your bad memory, but not entirely. I once had a trial account. I couldn't create another one, because they remembered my cc, even if I use a different email adress.

I took a look at nota-bene's release.

That's one those movies where they grow old very soon. I think I'll skip this one.

Yay! I have not lost it entirely yet!

I was wondering if you looked back in the entire thread for the warnings about the limited screen time for the younger version of the girl. I did not really expect you to be interested precisely because of that.

Film stock talk & still trying on the torrents:

Spoiler: I DLd a smaller RarBG torrent version because I am trying to get multiple nota-bene eMule files at once and I am limited to one at a time of course. I can see the image quality is typical of what I have experienced with unrestored 1970s & 1980s Japanese color film. I have read rumors that the film stock used (not just for Japanese films) was inferior but I am not quite enough of a film tech nerd to really judge those claims. It may be that only a restoration from a carefully stored negative will get the full quality. Toho is one of the coproducers so they can be relied upon at least for archiving, but not necessarily for releasing materials from their iron grip. They have to be convinced that a film will really rake in the cash, and even then they exercise complete control over its use. The 12Gb AMZN.WEBRip has at least progressed from ZERO Seeders to a potential of 0 out of 1. I am going to keep trying at least for some days to see if that one Seeder returns. IF I get it complete I will share it one way or another ... but nota-bene, don't hold your breath. I don't want to unfairly encourage anyone to get their hopes up. I always expect failure.

No, I didn't read the first 2 pages, but now I remember.

limited screen time for the younger version of the girl

She's younger (6yo) for the first 21 minutes. The adult space princess is introduced after 29 minutes.
And then there's Akeno (小高恵美)
