What can I say, this blu-ray is the best presentation of this film to date. It's not perfect, but considering the old Manga Video DVD release was non-anamorphic and windowboxed whereas this IS anamorphic widescreen and in true HD audio, uncut with a clean sharp image - there's simply no other way to enjoy the impact of this film properly. This is a GREAT work, and may not appeal to all audiences. It's surreal, dark, and sometimes confusing, purposefully. Warrants repeated viewing to pick up on the subtleties within the film early on. They literally don't make them like this anymore - or for that matter back then, it's a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience that needs to be savored and THIS is the edition to give you that experience.
