1Picture: Original Aspect Ratio, so you have on the top and bottom those Little bars, the Picture is not zoomed in! In some ways it’s almost too perfect as it’s lost some of the grittiness that the old version had.

uk in April 2022 and got this version with a sticker saying it's 4K HDR and that it doesn't include a digital code. Bought as a Christmas gift. Bought this to replace my old HD Blu-ray.

This blu ray has a very nice Change cover. Either way you’re still get an amazing movie and you can just lie to your friends about the digital copy I guess.

Watch it dubbed or subbed, both are great, but I tend to prefer anime in the original Japanese dub with subtitles. Sometimes the western voice actors can be a little bit of a detraction, in addition to how the localisation can strip away some things that are culturally to the original version.
