The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum (1939)

Just some updated comparisons. Recall that the Criterion and Shochiku blu-rays are among the worst sounding releases, ever. The Artificial Eye blu-ray is the least mutilated, while the MK2 DVD falls somewhere in between. There's supposedly an old Shochiku DVD (c. 2005?) that may be better; I'm not convinced anymore that the Artificial Eye is free of manipulation.

After I presented the previous comparison video to the reviewer who reviewed the Criterion disc for Blu-ray.com, he argued that this restoration is an improvement.
