Damn that was disappointing, WMV sucks at low bandwidth because it blurs out fast motion, and the video is so small you can't read the title cards between scenes. But the film itself looks stunning (what little I can make of it). They really ought to rerip this at better quality. Hell, I'd redo it for free.
Was there a head page where you found this link, with any other info on this film? I have some film theory buddies who would like seeing this and any other related info (in Japanese is OK).
