However, the source film is not 4:3, its actually widescreen like in motion pictures (where this film is used) with enough information to create a HD picture. So the film is re-scanned and remastered, using the wider aspect ratio available and thus making a 16:9 version.
Yeah you are right, but for some of the shots the image had to be zoomed because it appeared stuff that wasn't supposed. Anyways, Friends do look good, there was some color correction which does look much better then any DVD release.
As for ayu, I still think we will have everything in the same aspect ratios, no point on changing what is already good.
