Tokyo Godfathers The Ultimate Enthusiast's Collected Edition

![alt text][logo] [logo]: https://i.imgur.com/hDI58m8.jpg "Logo Title Text 2" ### Tokyo Godfathers - The Ultimate Enthusiast's Collected Edition *The best picture quality, Dual audio & Multiple subtitles + Extras* The 2020 USBD from GKIDS/Shout Factory, with a transfer based on a new 4K scan. *But wouldn't it look horrible if you made a 4K scan of a film that was most likely produced at 720p?* From what I've read, Tokyo Godfathers was originally made entirely digitally, then printed on to 35mm film, which is why a 4K scan is possible to do without it looking downright bad. [27 Comparisons between the USBD and JPBD](https://slow.pics/c/zgdVnY6y)｜[5 comparisons between the JPBD and UKBD](https://slow.pics/c/vzmcN2uw) The USBD is an improvement in most areas compared to the JPBD and especially the UKBD. The picture looks clearer and you can make out detail that wasn't visible before. Some of the grain has been removed, which unfortunately results in color banding in dark areas in some shots, but I didn't find it too distracting personally. Overall, the pluses overweigh the minuses here, arguably making this the definitive version of Tokyo Godfathers. ~~As of writing, none of the encoded uploads on Nyaa use the USBD, so if you prefer it over the JPBD and UKBD after checking out the comparisons, you've got yourself a winner by default.~~ Thanks to herkz for telling me that there actually are uploads by Commie that use the USBD. Ignorant me didn't check... After that initial hiccup, I've now muxed in Commie's subs as well. From the quick glance I took, they seem like a great upgrade over Niizk's subtitles. The USBD has the new English dub. Is this the first time Hana's been voiced by an actual trans person? I also recommend checking out the "Making Of" documentaries, as you'll be to watch Kon himself, dressed up as Hana, run across a field alongside his staff members for animation reference.
