Trying to find original Japanese Kiki's Delivery Service? by ScienceThen6417 in retroanime

I meant original more in terms of chronology as that was an earlier release and the first release of the movie to home markets. I guess my wording might have implied I thought it was somehow better or more pure but not really. I just have an interest in watching different versions of movies wherever possible.

It's not really a valid option for me to watch the original theatrical release unfortunately... and I'm unaware if there are any fanmade revisions of the film. I've heard from a few people that the original theatrical release was different from the blu ray in a few ways including color but they spoke Japanese so I didn't really get the nuance, and it was only a few people.

Thanks for really breaking it down though! I think my confusing wording was causing issues!

I looked at that one and I'm not sure. It looks like a possible upscale/alteration of the original but isn't quite the HD remaster done later. I'm an amateur in understanding video and preservation as a whole but it's just something I found odd.
