plus the Japan release of Howl's moving castle I have is four discs!, disney 2 disc a shame.
I have heard the the american release has higher image quality, but without the old dub. too bad we can't have a perfect edition, the new transfer with the old dub , a much needed preservation project. I'll just go and buy the region 2 dvd. In fact i think i'll pretty much stick with buying region 2 anime releases becuase they are always better than the botched u.s. editions, even without the subtitles.
Don't know if they messed up whisper of the heart too, if they did I'll have to get the region 2 of that as well.
