Notes: 
Now, this is something of a rarity! This DVD was supposed to be released half a year ago - on March 12, however, due to certain copyright problems, it met the same fate as the "Ukradená vzducholoï" DVD, i.e. the release has been put on hold indefinitely. Luckily for some, thanks to a human error in one of Bonton's stores, a few (tens?) copies had been despatched to a couple of e-shops by the end of last week before Bonton realized the mistake, and cancelled the distribution. ;-)

Regarding the DVD presentation, the print seems to be much cleaner than the Japanese one, shows a bit more picture on sides, and I do believe the colours are more true to the original, as was also the case with "Ukradená vzducholoï."

*it says "4:3" on the cover, but it's a mistake
**difference between channels is -84.87 dB (0.01 %)
