With this being a Japanese release, there are NO English subtitles or English audio tracks.

A closer view for anyone looking on a small screen.
Despite being a 4K UHD, it not authored in HDR, which isn't necessarily bad, as the Daima was produced in SDR. But having the same SDR color space makes the video source here pretty useless for those looking for the best.

If your name is Bob and you want the Best, Bob, you'll have to wait for some work using the JP HD Blu-Ray. In the meantime, here's the 4K UHD if you really want it.

Social media compresses video, but this looks fine on YouTube for this example. Some scenes you can compare yourself:
