Wish i could locate a print or even cels cut from one to know what the original color looked like. Every version on video just looks toyed with to me. Especially the ones done in the era of digital tools.
Have not seen the blu ray so i cannot speak for it but every version either seems to be blown out in terms of color or too much dvnr.
The SONY DVD is overly bright. on both Widescreen and 4:3.
The UK ultimate edition had better balance i think but was probably the same master just color corrected.
I have some cels.
This project looks amazing and I'm throwing my hat in the ring to offer any assistance I can provide. I've messed around with doing some cleanup on the Bluray print and even toyed with correcting some animation errors (Unicron lapping over the foreground scenery at 1:16 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhRCGiJrOik ).
You wouldn't happen to be the fellow at TFW2005 looking for the Japanese Laserdisc audio, would you?
