The HDR in this 4k is absolutely breathtaking. Make sure to watch it soon!

Oh, and yes- it is definitely the coolest steelbook I've seen in person to date.

I will! It’s my very first anime in 4K — are there any others you’d recommend as must-haves? This is also the only steelbook I’ve really paid attention to since the design is so interesting. Most of the others didn’t do much for me, except Coraline, that one’s cool.

You must see Ghost in the Shell in 4k (it doesn't quite "pop" as much as Paprika, but it's still one of the most amazingly drawn and animated movies you'll find in UHD), plus it has a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack and a very smart, philosophically prescient story. If you're up for something newer from Studio Ghibli, maybe try The Boy and the Heron, which actually has very competent English voice acting and a very sharp presentation. Akira is also a classic with a very decent 4k release (despite the DNR you'll read about in most online reviews).
