My mistake, I guess that's my fault for checking pirate sites for Blu-Ray rips/raws instead of actual stores. But I guess that just means the Blu-Rays were so bad that nobody wanted to rip them. Sounds similar to the case of Qwaser of Stigmata, where the Japanese Blu-Rays were bad enough that having DVD-only here wasn't that much of a loss.

If anything, it'd make more sense to go the "BakaTest 2 / Princess Jellyfish" route and sell an expensive BD in an upfront LE, and then do DVD-only later for the cheapskates who waited for a re-release.

What do you think about the future of 4K scans for anime coming out in Japan? Strictly movies and OVA or TV series also? I believe Giant Robo has been the only title thus far to receive the "treatment"...

The future is bright for 35mm. There's no reason they can't be scanned at 4k if not 8k save for shitty film stock like what Justin mentions was the issue in the 70s and early 80s. If a TV series was shot on 35mm, I don't see why it wouldn't also benefit as well, like Escaflowne. I'd still like to see hundreds more anime at least get routine HD transfers before we get into the future, there's so much stuff out there that can only be seen through the lens of old component masters: Odin, Geist, Lemnear, Plastic Little, Burn Up. You know, the good anime everyone loves to hate.

This is assuming that the studio actually saved the film version of a given anime. I gather from some of the things said in reference to specific shows that is not a given. Apparently some of the studios considered anime to be disposable and, of course, some are no longer in business at all.

Yes I am running off that assumption because there's tons of proper BDs out already and I'm sure many more are yet to come out. I don't operate under the idea that all anime negatives have been destroyed or lost.
