Thanks for this rare movie. It's a pity that the quality is so bad.
It would be a dream to have it in HD and with Engkish subtitles...

Indeed, this looks like a rare, score of a find. For 630mb size of what might be a VHS rip, it doesn't look too bad.
I have discovered an uncompressed VHSrip "DVDr" on CG. I cannot tell based off of screenshots if it provides any additional quality over E9's discovery. Normally, I'd ask to see if there's any interest, but I have opted to begin the download process immediately. This may be slow.
Screenshots from torrent post.

Found on VK.com: 720p VHS upscale. Not impressive. https://vkvideo.ru/video757424584_456239196
(VK currently says for me "The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.")
It is not true 1080p but it looks good, not great. Maybe it is a TV-station upscale from an SD video source? It has 13 minutes of previews and commercials after the movie. I did not cut them out because some of them looked interesting!
[Code]
Note the very strange framerate of 27.775 fps!
It seems that the video will play back in my pixeldrain link:

I did not find any subtitles, but I would watch this without them!

Interesting, looks like it was replayed on TV just a little while ago?
Nice find, thanks for sharing!

Nice find, looking forward to seeing the comparison.
What is the CG?

Never used it, but it has been mentioned here many times.
Thanks.
Sometimes too many abbreviations are a disaster, and many different possibilities flashed through my mind.

Yes, I looked closer and see you are right about that! The commercial at the beginning advertises something to be broadcast 2025.3.16. And now that VK is no longer blocking me, I can see that it was uploaded to VK 5 days ago (the 13th). The uploader "Sasori Setezeroum" I recognize as a source for a huge number of wonderful and mostly Japanese videos. Some of them look good for FLM.

Yo citronleaf, radical find! I often overlook VK and OK. This fact prompted me to check BlizzardKid (BK-- E9 is right, a lot of abbreviations).
And so, it seems the very same DVDr VHSrip that I found on CG is also at BK, and the yandex links appears to be active. I have not used yandex before, to my knowledge. http://blizzardkid.net/category/eng/pur ... start_com=
But I have a pixeldrain link for the ISO I made out of the DVD files from cinemaggedon, so don't worry about BK:

I am not so sure the quality will compare well against a modern TVrip. I'll trust you guys to help determine which is the best starting quality.
Hey E9, as mimzy mentioned, cinemaggedon is an old school torrent site. It is still active, but seems it's more quiet than it used to be. Mostly known for non-mainstream, older films, hidden or uncommon films, westerns, martial arts, and the basic genres of the counter-culture, like gore/exploitation/badfilm/b-movies. Some years ago, I took an extended break from downloading-related internet activity, and CG was one of the only torrent trackers that didn't disable my account for years-long inactivity. I still only use it sporadically, but it has come in handy since I started here at FLM.
I'll write out my comparison thoughts in a separate post.

Does the VHSrip-DVDr seem to have a subtle amount of Prussian blue saturation?
