Uploaded on YouTube by Medusa7700Siren. This unfortunately isn't a real 4:3 AR version, but rather the distributor cropped and zoomed in the image to make it 4:3 AR ("Astro Boy" 2003 and "Champion of Death" had the same fate too) so it would be suitable for the TVs back then. It's a shame it's not a genuine 4:3 AR copy as I'd have liked to have seen any extra bits (which you can see them on the Remastered DVD). And with the 16:9 AR era, now some distributors crop 4:3 AR to 16:9 AR so we're losing detail on the bottom and top.
For now, think this will be my 'last' upload of this film as I don't have anything else. Maybe if I come across the soundtrack I'll share it here.

The difference in picture quality and detail is just amazing. TOEI did an amazing job remastering the film.
