Where do you get these trailers?

[tubesoda]

I got them from the Japanese DVD releases.

The tune at the end is awesome; great disco from Costandinos!

God, I know. Because of this, I have a constant fear that someone I love will spontaneously turn into leaves when I reach out for them.

This looks like it'll be a confusing sit when I eventually view it, but I'm interested nonetheless.

@valleus This Wikipedia link will explain everything...

en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/­Metamorphoses_(film)

While being produced, it was being called "Metamorphoses" but after a disastrous premiere in '78, they re-edited/scored the thing and released it as "Winds of Change".

@eshakunamatata That scene of the man and women was from what was once known as "Metamorphoses" when it was being produced, and was used in the Japanese release, but removed from the US "Winds of Change" release.

I think Winds of Change English Version with no uncut scene of the Man and the Woman,

but Winds of Change Japanese Version has an uncut scene of the Man and the Woman.

Wow, this brings back mad memories. <3

[valleus]

So whats the english version of the anime called ? And whats the original version of this anime called ?

[valleus]

Is this music an original soundtrack ? Great animation though.

@tubesoda Kinda makes me feel a little sad thinking the trailer looked much better than the film itself as presented on that disc. It's as if they just stuck on an old analog master they had lying around someplace and not think to doing any kind of new digital mastering of the source material at all (perhaps it shows how much they could care less of what they did over 30 years ago).

@Blakefe I still don't know myself other than considering they were editing the trailer using the US version of the film they had at the time. The finish film in Japan used a small amount of Alan Constandinos' tracks mixed with original music and voice actors for their release.
