There very much was DNR applied to the BD transfer. It isn’t waxified, but the WOWOW broadcast version (compression artifacts and all) has more visible detail than the BD in some scenes, and vice versa in some others. The image isn’t totally destroyed by DNR, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t use more of it than they should.

None of that even matters when trying to determine if the BD is any good, because IMO nothing compares to the awful digital changes made to the BD transfer.
