Okay, I really want to know what these Crescendolls plushies look like. I can't find them on the Daft Punk store with the other 5555 merch or in other press releases. Does anyone know anything about those, or have a link to where/how they're releasing?

Well, seems like it ain't a "remaster", but rather the notoriously shitty upscale from the DVD resolution with the use of AI - if there is any indication by their official site and screenshots where you can see the artifacts and smearing all over the place on certain frames.

You don't even need to zoom in to see how bad it looks. It's immediately apparent with the over sharpened lines making them stand out too much. I am going to guess that the original masters from Toei were lost to time. It's hard to tell if it was "digipaint" since it was 2003, which would explain the need for the (bad) upscaling.

It's never looked good because even the DVD release was converted to NTSC from PAL.

That's a bummer.
