Personally watched all in original Japanese track and the three 2000s films in English dub. The English dubbing was good for those three.

However, I just bought it and can only access English audio and English subtitles. I was hoping for the original Japanese audio, but at least the English dubs are done very well.
Although, there is a section on the movie homepage that says "iTunes Extras Original Japanese language version with English subtitles".
The only issue is, I can't figure out how to actually get to it, cause when I click that thumbnail it just resumes the English version for me.
EDIT: I did check the actual iTunes app on my Windows PC, and it does indeed launch an "Extras" version with Japanese audio and English subtitles. So even if you have a Windows device you can at least access the Japanese version by downloading iTunes for Windows.
I wonder if maybe you need an iTunes app on your Apple device as well to access it, rather than Apple TV, which is a really odd oversight.
There's also quite a bit of judder when panning, but I'm not sure if that's the nature of the source material or an issue with my display, although I'm set to 120hz, which is a multiple of both 24fps and 30fps. If I ever have a chance to watch it on a decent TV I'll update whether there's a difference.

I still highly object to Apple's devious strategies of forcing people to own Apple products to watch the extras by purposefully nerfing their software on non-Apple products, but it's hard to expect different from a company like Apple which explains why I own so few Apple products and I don't worship Apple nor Costco like so many others do. I'm still what Apple and Costco lovers would call a poor trash Android and Walmart/Sam's Club guy. The lesser of 2 evils.
I've regularly check for a deal on Porco Rosso but will get the whole volume if a deal like this pops up on it.
