I am going to guess this is more a fault of LG's (still) problematic handling of near black visuals which introduces posterisation and other artifacting.

It’s also possible that poor calibration of a TV could accentuate certain flaws in an encode whereas proper calibration might allow them to “blend in” a bit more.

I noticed this with some of the black crush on the Blade Runner 4K for instance. It wasn’t as noticeable after calibration.

It’s hard to say though whether or not the encode itself is the issue in the case of the Oshima film, since I don’t have the disc myself.
