I think we can safely say that their intended aspect ratio was /both/... there's no other reason why they would do open matte in the first place if they didn't want to show it both ways.

In this instance, you can watch it the way you prefer... and there's no wrong way. :)

takarajima, I'm curious... could you do some hi-res scans of the VHS inserts?

I'm afraid I don't have any. If there were originally such things included with these tapes, they were misplaced before the tapes got into my hands. Sorry...
I think he means the covers.

Hahaha, he's right. When they're clamshell cases, they usually call 'em inserts or coversheets. :) Stuck in marketing lingo. Sorry about that!

I guess it's better than me asking you to scan the FOB, BOB, and Spine...

While he's fetching out the ones for the fullscreen tapes, I recently obtained a Makafushigi Daibouken VHS in letterboxed widescreen. I tried scanning it's label. Sorry for the sideways;

EDIT: Changed to link because the scan is large.

If I might ask, where did you get these tapes from? I'm kind of interested. :)

Since I've been bored a bit, I've been doing more analysis of the VHS Rerelease Letterbox version of Makafushigi Daibouken.

I'm having a friend take some random shots (because I'd probably be terrible at picking out good "Moments") and comparing them with DBox. Here's a quick-n-sloppy JPEG to show the screen and color differences.

Image

Two notable things appear to be;
1) In this shot the VHS tape looks zoomed out more than DBox.
2) The colors are different, but do not appear to be drastically so comparing from this shot.

Perhaps in a bit I'll take some more shots of my own.
