I got a poorly manufactured slip box that hasn’t been glued down properly, so basically a bubble of air trapped between the paper and board. Heard others have poor boxes so maybe that’s why it was pushed back. If the manufacturer can’t produce the item properly they should look somewhere else.
 
Has anyone noticed fast paced animations seem blocky and jerky on the outlines
of characters etc
Oh wow. Not seen this in 4K yet. I really hope not. Have you checked the bit rate during those scenes to see if it drops? Total recall had this problem during the spaceship scene.

Sounded like a general statement for old animation, which is relatively true tbh. This doesn't look perfect, but then again it's anime from 1995... so we're not talking toy story here.

Disc looks about as good as you could expect it to given the source material. Any abnormalities I noticed were also present on earlier releases IIRC.
