Meilag32 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 It was actually one of the earliest anime shows made for widescreen. Along with Samurai 7 (which was made for HD). I just hope the blurays do the show justice. The original FMA series looks gorgeous on bluray, as does Code Geass. Death Note on bluray, meanwhile, is a great disappointment.

I'm not having any luck finding the thread with it at the moment on another forum but the Japanese BD looked really nice in the screenshot comparisons from what I remember.

Viz Media did the Death Note blurays and fumbled it horribly. Quality wasn't any better than DVD and they fucked up the subtitles (you either got subtitles for everything or nothing, which caused trouble for those of us who wanted dub voices but could read the many instances of Japanese writing).

Oh that sucks. For the sub thing, it's possible that was a licensing thing. While it wasn't said by Viz, so I don't know if that's the case for Death Note, I know Funimation has said in the past that for a small handful of titles they have been required by the Japanese owner to lock the subs to the Japanese track. It's very rare though. Yeah. Don't screw this up Anchor Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasqueradeOverture Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 What I thought...the show was made in an earlier "false" HD (540p) which is why the picture looks blurrier than most of the other shows on the block (for reference, all the Bones shows between Eureka 7 and FMA: Brotherhood were produced in the same resolution). Oddly, the opening CGI is only 480p while the images in the end credits are full 1080p. Now, I discovered something very upsetting that may be of controversy; but I don't think I like Stand Alone Complex anymore. Like at all. It was a bummer to come to terms with that after being so terminally bored with that episode to the point where I was begging for it to end.

It was a bummer to come to terms with that after being so terminally bored with that episode to the point where I was begging for it to end. It is boring. I've never understood why so many people have such a hard on for it. it usually relies on the ... 5 minutes of action... 18 minutes of talk formula for every episode. Super heavy on political intrigue. The world and concept are actually really good, just the execution..... is badly paced. Basically the show should be way more entertaining than it is. "Reviewers agreed that the main "Laughing Man" storyline was satisfying, characterizing it variously as "interesting",[59] "complex",[60] and "engaging".[56] Reaction to the series' "Stand Alone" episodes, however, was mixed: some reviewers considered these episodes to be boring and, in some cases, the worst episodes of the series,[56][59] while others contended that they allowed further development of the characters and the futuristic setting.[55][60]" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasqueradeOverture Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I'm more of a fan of the '95 movie and manga. They feel more otherworldly and involving to me while SAC just feels like a cop procedural set in the future. I do genuinely enjoy 2nd Gig as it feels a bit more exotic than season one and closer to what I feel Ghost In The Shell should be (also helps the animation isn't as cold and stiff).

I won't harp on you for it. I'm perfectly sure you've got your reasons. Hell, I like Code Geass and I get major grief from some board members concerning that.
