It’s ironic because the first time around, I would have had to drive 8 hours to see it. Now it’s playing 2 hours away, but only the English dub. And I’ve seen it over 50 times. What my youngest niece did with Frozen and Kpop Demon Hunters, I did with 君の名は。. So I really don’t need to see it again.
Also, it was filmed in 1080p. The 4K version is an upscale.
Lastly, I don’t hate the English dub, it’s just such a quintessentially Japanese story… I prefer the Japanese dub with no subs. They get in the way. Though I have some really good fansubs I quite like.
I live in one of those countries where it was released last… and they took a long fucking time to release it…so i couldbt stop myself and ended up watching pretty low quality (280p?, idk) cam version filmed in a chinese cinema with both chinese and hindu hardcoded subtitles plus english. At least it was in japanese.
Most anime made in digital are often done in lower resolutions then upscaled. More pixels just becomes more work and at a certain point it becomes very inefficient and expensive. IIRC most anime are done under 1080p then upscaled to 1080p during the compositing stage (or maybe even after compositing?).
The only anime that could be “properly” upscaled to 4k are those that were done traditionally in cel, provided that it’s physically big enough. The same is true for film.

It was worth it.
Wth, it was filmed (digitally output, I guess) in 1080p? Thats kinda sild to me. Is this common?
