I was really looking forward to this dvd, especially since there was no theatrical release in my area. I was extremely dissapointed by the presentation of this otherwise visually stunning film. The cover art is simply terrible, any screenshot from the movie would look a dozen times better. Also, while dreamworks said they didn't record an english language track to respect the original work, every modern anime includes both tracks to let the viewer decide. It just seems like lazyness to omit what has become a standard in american anime releases. Add the fact that there are NO subtitles in a traditional sense, only vastly inferior and distracting close-captioning, and you have what can only be considered a defective product.
