**Credit to [Amicus_19](https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/4180043) for originally uploading the Discotek US BD.** Compared to the 2007 JP DVD and [this JP BD*](https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/3231809), the Japanese 2.0 track on Kitty Media's 2017 US BD and Discotek's 2024 US BD is [more limited and has two segments with a pretty noticeable channel volume imbalance.](https://slow.pics/c/rjTFrRTd) Also, the center channel of the Japanese 5.1 track on these US BDs is mastered weirdly, with [significant dips from ~3 kHz to ~8.5 kHz and from ~11 kHz to ~18 kHz](https://slow.pics/c/EPk1utvr), causing everything in it to sound muffled compared to the 2.0 mix. Only the center channel has these EQ dips, and the other main channels' (1, 2, 5, 6) mastering is closer to the 2.0 mastering. *The raw JP BD track, like the 2004 Kitty Media US DVD track, had a low-volume right channel in the second half, which was easy to fix. The US BD version seems to have taken its imbalanced segments straight from a version with the quieter right channel without correcting the volume difference. Save for some additional top-end noise on the Discotek 5.1 track, the English 2.0 and 5.1 tracks were essentially the same on the Kitty Media DVD (didn't have 5.1), Kitty Media BD, and Discotek BD. I suspect that none of the 5.1 mixes of either language are true lossless based on their frequency cut-off points. Discotek's tracks had also been padded to 24-bit, so I downsampled them to 16-bit. I'm interested to know if there's a good version of the JP 5.1 mix out there, so let me know if you have a release that might have one. I checked out the Kitty Media DVD's 5.1 track, but it seemed to be an upmix. The subtitles I took from the Discotek BD and OCR'd, styled, retimed, and typeset them. I also added back one missing line from the Kitty Media BD subtitles. **Comparisons** [Japanese 2.0](https://slow.pics/c/qnLfH26W) | [Japanese 5.1](https://slow.pics/c/ieOCaorH) | [English 2.0](https://slow.pics/c/8QOvSn2x) | [English 5.1](https://slow.pics/c/7oKjymbL) **Specifics** This is the full-length version.

Is this the Loli Movie??
Thank you for the fixes. I do wish you made it 4:3 aspect ratio though Would you say the visual upgrades by Discotek are an improvement across the board compared to other releases? There seems to be quite a lot of versions. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=163&page=28 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246734/alternateversions/
