I also didn't get an email, so I assumed I didn't win. And surprisingly my name is posted. Am I SOL?

well, that was profoundly disappointing. i'm really glad i won a ticket, because i would have been a little upset if i'd had to pay for that.
first of all, i wish it had mentioned somewhere that it would be the subtitled version. i'd been looking forward to tiffany grant so that was something of a letdown. had i know, at least i could have lowered my expectations. second, was the atrocious picture quality. i think the brightness was too high or something because the picture was totally washed out. you couldn't make out any of the details, and in the darker scenes, you couldn't make out anything at all. the opening sequence with mari was absolutely horrible. on the plus side, we had a good turnout again. not quite as packed as for the first film, but i'd guess between 100 and 150 people. |

I have to say that was an awful experience. First of all the funk in the theater was overpowering as anime fans obviously don't shower. The picture and audio quality was absolute trash, I could have just stayed home and watched my Japanese import blu-ray copy and enjoyed it a hell of a lot more. I swear the audio was coming out of one speaker with the sub-woofer cranked up.
Very disappointed in not having the dub, was pretty much the only reason I wanted to go to see in the first place to see if Funi improved it from the first film. Either way I would never go see another anime like this ever again, just a terrible experience all around. I wanted so bad to have Summer Wars get this kinda treatment but now I'm glad they didn't. |

I now feel better about not attending (won a free ticket but couldn't go because of work). What a shame. |

From what I've been reading, some theaters screwed up royally. Fortunately the one I went to (Silver City in Richmond, BC) got it right, after a couple of false starts. Picture and sound were great. It was obviously from a blu ray player, so if you already have the BD (cough or BD rip cough) and a good home theater, you didn't miss anything, apart from the experience of watching with a bunch of people.
The same happened with the screening of 1.0 last year, some theaters didn't know how to play the digital HD file, or didn't know how to balance the colors, which is kinda sad. Hopefully with the decent turnout to this movie, we'll see more theatrical releases for anime. Thanks ANN for doing the ticket giveaway ! Free is always better. |

I'm sorry to see Kat and Bean had bad experiences with the film
 it absolutely goes onto the theatre's equipment. The theatre I went to with my buddy, a contest winner, had exquisite picture and beautiful heart-crunching surround sound. Since they were playing Blu Ray discs, the picture and sound are assured up until the equipment they're played on.
We had a great time at the film- but, choosing to enter at a bit of a back-water theatre (instead of the giant, closer multiplex) with employees that probably couldn't pick Japan off a map, let alone know anything about the contest, was the trade off. And... Not every fan went to the screening to laugh and hoot during the most dramatic, emotional scenes  Maybe separate theaters for anime patrons would be nice next time, so the fans that think a fun time is a loud, opinionated, obnoxious running commentary is the same experience everybody wants can just carry on and not bother us (they don't care that they do, anyways). I'd save the 800$ to buy out the theatre and watch the 3rd install with my friends in peace and quiet .
