Getting into Mamoru Oshii’s cult classic The Red Spectacles has sent me down a full-blown “Kerberos Saga” rabbit hole, from the live-action Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops (1991) film to the Kerberos Panzer Cop (1988) manga. And now, after the recent news of a 4K theatrical re-release for The Red Spectacles, Oshii’s Jin-Roh is also joining the lineup with its own 4K restoration.

This is exciting news for fans of anime and Mamoru Oshii’s work! A 4K release of The Red Spectacles is sure to bring new life to this cult classic. It’s always great to see beloved films getting the recognition they deserve.
Absolutely! It’s great to see more of Oshii’s unique vision being appreciated. The film’s blend of action and philosophical themes really showcases his storytelling style, and a 4K release will definitely enhance those visuals.
