I just want somewhere that won't even show me new episodes until an unghosted version is released. I primarily watch anime for the animation, so blurred and darkened frames really ruin it for me.

Please someone respond to this!
What is ghosted anime? Never heard of that before.
Afaik there are laws in Japan that during certain scenes they have to dim certain frames to comply with laws, specifically flashes in fight scenes and certain types of violence.

Just look at the image I included in the original post. It's a comparison between several shots in Jujutsu Kaisen where the shot is ghosted+dimmed and one has not.
In order to satisfy laws for preventing seizures for a minority of children in Japan, studios are required to release their animations with these filters applied to certain scenes. However, the Blu-ray releases are not required to be released with these restrictions, so the animations released in that format are unhindered and can be viewed as they were intended to be viewed.
Thanks, saw the differences but didn’t know it was a thing or why they’d do that.
Today I learned something.
