I'm not usually one to get what I already have (I have the Bandai release), but this just might be worth it. And yeah I'm a big Outlaw Star fan, too, if the username didn't clue anyone in.

Chapinator_X Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Good to hear it's more readily available now. Even though I feel that Bluray doesn't do much for anime made before 2010, it could help with a show where its last remaster was ages ago.

Even though I feel that Bluray doesn't do much for anime made before 2010, it could help with a show where its last remaster was ages ago. Blu-ray can do a massive deal for pre-digital shows like Outlaw Star that were shot on physical film. In fact, that's where a proper restoration shines the most. It's the series from about 2000-2007 that Blu-ray doesn't help a huge amount, since they were all digitally painted in standard-def and thus can only be upscaled. Early digipaint shows from the early 2000s suffer the most here, since animation companies were still figuring out the digital process, and so most of those shows didn't look too spectacular to begin with. In any case, I've heard the HD masters used for the UK Blu-rays were utterly gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 That makes sense. Restorations to pre-2000's anime would do alot more to breathe life into older physical cels than the digital cels from the Aughts where Bluray's limitations are more clear without the recent business model of fixing art errors/uncensoring Bluray editions. My only main concern with older restorations is if it does anything too drastic to them like how the Sailor Moon Bluray was more of a halfjob with oversaturation and noise, but I guess that's just when Bluray restoration goes wrong. My flaw was seeing Bluray as only a chance to make a show look good on TV when it does serve as a vessel to remaster older shows in better quality most of the time.

MasqueradeOverture Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 FUCK. YES. My #6 anime. Pretty much guaranteed to get an uncut air on Toonami now that there's space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are instances where the original company threw out the film prints years ago and are stuck with a SD master (like Sailor Moon), or the original film IS available but hasn't been remastered in Japan yet and the American licensor sacrifices quality for profit (Dragon Ball Z). In the case of Sunrise shows, they always end up looking fucking gorgeous: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatsuya_suou_sa Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Still got my DVD set so I will probably stick with that. I may wait for it to get cheaper on Amazon before I eventually upgrade. 74.99 is to pricey for me at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naraku4656 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 These are great. oh my god i'm going to post something on topic in an anime thread. someone mark this down in a history book i think the BR rip looks waaaaaay too bright. the DVD one has more fuzz and doesn't look nearly as sharp, but it also doesn't look like someone shone a flashlight on the cell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Can't come out soon enough, you can't even buy Outlaw Star on Amazon right now. I have the Complete Collection DVD (red box) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything is, that might be a fair trade-off from the old DVD masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not an anime only thing: The older versions of Empire Strike Back have both Vader and Luke sounding like they're in an echo chamber during "that" scene, while all the releases 2004-onward have their voices bone dry with zero reverb.

The BD is more than likely a digital remaster of that same soundtrack. so likely when they did they remaster, some effects were lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
