That would require reediting the film back into WotW. Unless you intend to put no audio in the numerous scenes that were cut. This was discussed in another Ghibli thread. Personally I think that idea stinks. Miyazaki was deeply upsetted about the editing of Nausicaa. I don't think including that edit in a set meant to honor the film would be right. I could see putting clips of some of the more infamous parts, even a little documentary on how it was changed. Merely to detail that sordid history. To actually preserve the abomination using the restored film itself would be insulting in my book. It doesn't need to be recreated. VHS rips at the most if you must have it.

It's bad enough that when Animeigo restored Macross, ADV and Harmony Gold re-edited it back together with the also restored Southern Cross and Mospeada in it's bastardized Robotech form. It's an example of taking a showing of love and respect for the original, and cutting it back into a version which wasn't even faithful to that version (Robotech Remastered - See new scenes long available in the original show, now with new generic sound effects). It's a slap in the face. ^_^;;

The rest of the stuff sounds good though. Ideas on how to do it?
