I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Bebop and Escaflowne's cel animation & CGI were composited together and then transferred to video for broadcast. So while the cel animation could probably be restored ala Evangelion, the original CG elements would have to be re-rendered and composited. Assuming they still exist, which is unlikely.

Also, The BD of "The Borrower Arrietty" is out in France on July 1st. It's Region 2, but hopefully it'll be region free. It still hasn't been announced for release in Japan to my knowledge, so France could very well be the first country to get it. Arrietty's only getting a theatrical release in North America in early 2012, so it looks like at least a year's wait for our Blu version.

Question: I know it hasn't been released over here, but is it safe to assume the Japanese Eureka Seven Blu-ray Collection is simply upscaled HD?

The Borrower Arrietty is finally out on BD. And sweet hopping Jesus is it ever beautiful. Probably the most lush backgrounds Ghibli's ever made.

 ESCAFLOWNE on Blu-ray in Japan, Feb. 2012! Oh god this is my favorite series ever. I hope it's not upscaled rubbish, I will import it in a second.

Guyver posted:So the rumor that Master Keaton, Borgman, Berserk and GPX Cyper Formula are getting BD box sets are true. Master Keaton?!? Seriously?! Holy poo poo, I was just about to mention how that is one series that is in desperate need of a re-issue, considering how the DVDs (R1 anyway) had the single worst transfer I'd ever seen in my life. They bumped up the sharpness to 500% and called it a day. It's god-awful. Great news.

I just remembered that Master Keaton got a Blu-ray box in Japan last year. Man, that was a great series, but had an abysmal DVD transfer. I'm so glad they're giving it the HD treatment! After all, it's selling for 42,000 yen ($545 USD), it must be worth it, right?

That's awesome. I guess Disney always did like to release Ghibli titles in waves as opposed to individually, but it's been so long... I'm afraid this might be the last wave we see for a while, though. I can't see them releasing From Up On Poppy Hill over here theatrically, and I don't know if they'll bother releasing catalogue titles without a new release to prop them up.

Aside from the half-dozen or so episodes that were storyboarded by Kazuya Tsurumaki, it's not even that great-looking of a series. There's a lot of episodes done on the cheap (even before their budget was slashed). Is End of Eva on Blu-ray?

Escaflowne was released on BD in Japan, right? Have any comparison screenshots found their way onto the net?

Other than the fact that one is DVD/Blu combo and the other is Blu only, are these two Eden of the East sets identical?

The ESCAFLOWNE Blu-ray box set has been out for a year and I still haven't seen any screencaps! Anyone find some?

Kingtheninja posted:Wings of Honneamise is down to $28 on amazon. Can anyone post how good it looks? I've never seen this before but heard so much about it. I'd like to own it. It's gorgeous, on par with Disney's Blu-ray of Snow White. Pausing at any point looks like they taped an original animation cel to your TV. Extras are light other than some behind-the-scenes essays, but it's a great set.

ultimatemegax posted:Right, it looks amazing with nothing done to the image at all. You actually just inadvertently proved that nothing's wrong with this release. Those effortposts you linked? They're arguing over the minuteness of grain detail. Jesus christ, get a grip. http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/112881 Oh yeah, look at this garbage
