Not like it's EVER been gone. DVDs were always abundantly available and never scarce until maybe the last year to year and a half, and it's practically been on TV for over a decade straight with few breaks. |

What has Funi messed with the aspect ratio on besides their first DBZ "remaster"? They seemed to learn their lesson on that and the Yu Yu Hakusho Blu-rays were fantastic so I'm not sure why people think they'd do that again.

As long as it looks clean, then I'm all for it. FLCL on Blu-Ray looked terrible IMO.

While Bebop was aired on TV for years with the aspect ratio altered, I doubt Funi would to that to people willing to pay for the Blu-rays, especially if they expect to sell multiple Special Editions.
The DBZ blus just sound like they were re-releasing those orange boxes on Bluray, so it was more out of laziness than actually trying to re-introduce cropped pictures. And I fail to see how Yu Yu Hakusho wouldn't have been a "mainstream" title for them. If they haven't done it to anything besides DBZ then the whining just seems unnecessary. |

What quick turn around? They took forever. They announced this release like a year ago. It was about damn time they released it. |

And just before 4k. Welcome to the year 2006 and no movie packed in ? That aside at least it happened.

FLCL was a terrible upscale, thanks to bad decisions made by the Japanese company responsible for it. Upscales do not have to look that bad, and many do not. And parts of Bebop technically will be, since they didn't re-render or recomposite any of the CG or digitally-processed cuts of animation (think any cut that involves one of the gates, for example). That also complicates the materials, as was touched on by someone else earlier in this thread, because of the frame rates and such. So, we're talking 1080i here, which shouldn't really be a problem, except for the inability of domestic anime studios to create 1080i Blu-ray discs without introducing DVD-esque compression artifacts. |

I haven't bought a premium set of anything in a really long time.
The time has come again. (Depending of course on what's included) |

Which sucks, because the BD released here in the States by Image Entertainment only has lossless 2-channel audio tracks. Whereas the Japanese BD get's 5.1. Hell, even Sony's *DVD* has 5.1 for both languages. Here's hoping when the license expires that a better company picks it up and gives it better treatment. |
