Blatch Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I hope you and I enjoy the new experience of the show, as it unfolds a future looking far more extravagant (yet probably just as bleak) as ours, from 2029... give or take years.

MasqueradeOverture Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I've never seen SAC in HD (was it ever publicly available in that format? I know it was one of the first TV anime produced in HD) so I'll check it out to see if this version still suffers from post-2000 "Digital Learning Curve" syndrome.

Meilag32 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 What do you mean HD? I own the series on DVD. Is it 1080p quality? I would agree that a single thread for the whole series is probably best. At least it's been the norm in the past for a series rerun to be based from a single thread instead of a new thread for each episode. Also, if this going to be the official discussion thread for the whole series, the page definitely needs to get gussied up a bit. You know, a logo, some pics, nice font size and colors...

MasqueradeOverture Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 What do you mean HD? I own the series on DVD. Is it 1080p quality? Obviously not in DVD format. But the show was originally produced in HD. The Blu-Ray comes out in two weeks, so I'm assuming Production I.G. gave Adult Swim the HD masters as a form of cross-promotion.

DBZ4ever Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Tempted to watch this since I haven't seen it in a while, but after One Piece I usually go play some games or something. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes, we know, you'll bitch and moan if it doesn't happen at which point Demarco will mock you, assuming he does that anymore. But yeah, judging from word of mouth and the adjusted content rating, it's safe to say these are new tapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meilag32 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 So, did the series originally have widescreen? I don't think it did. If it didn't, the only reason it could, would be if it simply zoomed in enough to make it widescreen. If that's the case, I'd rather maintain aspect ratio but keep the HD treatment, instead of zooming in and losing some of the visual. It's what FXX is doing with it's airings of The Simpsons (zooming in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meilag32 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Holy shit, GITS must be popular. The site usually isn't this slow outside of the DBZ shows. It took me 5 minutes just get back to the site. Batou. I always liked him. Togasa, too. And the Tachicomas. Not too much this episode, but they quickly become the favorites. Can't wait for their first themed episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
