Meilag32 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Even the original Fullmetal Alchemist looks pretty damn good on blu ray (And the collector's version though) The FMA 1st series looks jarringly good on blu-ray. I was supremely impressed after buying it.
OwlChemist81 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Ugh, I don't want to fall asleep during this commercial break, but...
DangerMouse Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 The FMA 1st series looks jarringly good on blu-ray. I was supremely impressed after buying it. Yeah, it's pretty beautiful.
Meilag32 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Ugh, I don't want to fall asleep during this commercial break, but... But I psychically slap you awake! By making you either drink a caffeinated drink or by eating something!
Meilag32 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Yeah, it's pretty beautiful. I demand FMA 1st series go back on the air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DangerMouse Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Time for some MUSIC! Some Yoko Kanno + Scott Mathews greatness. She's the best.
Meilag32 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Another example of the horribleness of religion.

DangerMouse Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Damn, even in bit-starved cable TV this looks like a very nice HD remaster. Can't wait for my BDs.
Meilag32 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 I feel sorry for the guy. He only wanted to kill his parents for the horribleness they inflicted on him. Isn't that what we all suffer from?
CountFrylock Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 i wonder if the ghost in the shell movie will be worth this
mochi Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 well night I guess, seeya next weekend at least I'm not depressed like last week at least
DangerMouse Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 well night I guess, seeya next weekend at least I'm not depressed like last week at least Good to hear Have a good night!
Meilag32 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 i wonder if the ghost in the shell movie will be worth this The only movie that is connected to SAC is GiTS: Solid State Society. The others are in their own continuity.

MasqueradeOverture Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 The FMA 1st series looks jarringly good on blu-ray. I was supremely impressed after buying it. The heck? The show was made in SD. They must have filtered the living shit out of it for that then.
Meilag32 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 The heck? The show was made in SD. They must have filtered the living shit out of it for that then. It's not impossible. I have the Criterion Collection blu-ray version of Gojira and it looks clear as crystal.
MasqueradeOverture Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Upon viewing of tonight's episode, it seems my thoughts on this show are in fact bipolar. Visually speaking, I was watching this on a smaller 27" TV in my room (in comparison to the 47" in the basement I was using last week) and there's a MASSIVE difference in how I perceived the picture. Like...holy shit. I'll say it's because the proto-HD resolution holds up better when not blown up for a bigger size screen, but god damn this looked nice. Episode's much better than last (default since this episode's one of my favorites in SAC 1); more things going on, more action, an ending that finishes on a bitter note. Good shit. Just sucks how this show's first episode is such a flaccid bummer and there's many more like it in this series.
DangerMouse Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 The heck? The show was made in SD. They must have filtered the living shit out of it for that then. Yeah, it's a really impressive job considering the show's age. Also helped by the art style and how despite being a digi-paint show it didn't require a lot of actual sub-HD CG. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/fullmetal-alchemist/blu-ray-complete-series-collector-edition/.96283 Really looking forward to seeing how Wolf's Rain's new blu-ray comes out very soon. Man, it's good having these shows coming back (Bebop's is so good too).
MasqueradeOverture Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 It's not impossible. I have the Criterion Collection blu-ray version of Gojira and it looks clear as crystal. That's film. Film is scannable to a theoretically infinite resolution. When it comes to things shot or drawn digitally, the resolution can only go as high as what it was originally shot or rendered in. Most anime between 2000 and 2006 (including FMA) were rendered in 480p. Any remaster done to it thus can only give the illusion of being HD by adding a ton of filters, de-aliasing, and upscaling. Sometimes this practice can work really well (FMA looks to be one of these cases). Other times it could look like total shit.

I now own several anime series on both Blu-ray and DVD that were from that time period. And in all but one of them, you can tell a clear difference in video quality. And on the one that you can't tell a difference in, you can tell they didn't care about the release because there were other problems beside video quality, basic stuff they should have gotten right and they didn't. If you want to talk semantics of how it was achieved... I don't see the point. Does it really matter how they got that video quality so good?
Meilag32 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 This week's episode of Ghost in the Shell: A Stand Alone Episode: A Modest Rebellion – ANDROID AND I
Meilag32 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Time to shine. I'm actually not a real fan of this episode. Next week, though, we finally get a complex episode.
DangerMouse Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I'm actually not a real fan of this episode. Next week, though, we finally get a complex episode. Yeah, this one's just okay. Kind of important to the setting, but not exactly exciting or overly interesting.
DangerMouse Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Motoko goes in stealth camo to get the real look at the place
Meilag32 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Yeah, this one's just okay. Kind of important to the setting, but not exactly exciting or overly interesting. Well, I understand that it brings up the concept of sex robots, which in all likelihood will very much be a thing in the future.
AnimationFan14 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Better than Gesihas commiting small scale homicide

DangerMouse Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Well, I understand that it brings up the concept of sex robots, which in all likelihood will very much be a thing in the future. Also, the guy's fixation on his personal model.
Meilag32 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Asking for souvenirs? Foreshadowing even in episode 3.
CountFrylock Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 remember when adult swim ran this show far into the ground like Cowboy Bebop And Fooly Cooly?
