Really? I swear I've seen 480p extras on Blu-Rays before... Edit: I've just read what you said somewhere else as well... Does the Blu-Ray spec support anamorphic SD content? Because I know HD isn't anamorphic and I'm wondering how old shows in 4x3 will be displayed... |

Shame that Anime Sols didn't get to release Dororo, but it's good that Discotek licensed it. I'll definitely be buying that one when it comes out.

Actually bluray does support SD 4:3 and 16:9 ratios without the need for pillar boxing. Its only 720p and 1080p that requires pillarboxing for content that is originally 4:3. |

Why yes, Discotek, you CAN have more of my money! This is why Discotek gets 80% of my anime money these days (that's right, Funi and Sentai, this is why I don't buy series from you, except I do plan to buy Space Bros. The other 20% is miscellaneous and Nozomi)

Will a Blu-ray player upscale 480i or 480p SD content to 1080p that is on a Blu-ray? I was always under the impression that SD content on a Blu-ray isn't upscaled and is shown at whatever resolution it is in. If that is the case, I would rather just get the DVD's so my player can upscale them to 1080p. SD content on my TV looks like crap when it isn't upscaled to 1080p.
EDIT: I saw this on the Blu-ray forums which pretty much answers my question:
So apparently I wasn't the only one wondering if SD content on Blu-ray would be upscaled by the player, since they had a conversation over there about it. Personally I have no interest in supporting these SD-BD releases regardless of whatever little benefits they offer. If a show isn't in HD, I'd rather just get it on DVD so I can play it in whatever room I want in my home (I only have 1 Blu-ray player, but I have DVD players in every other room.)

I wish Discotek would release these as region free, all their titles are not available in the UK and it would great to get a hold of Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo.

Discotek is certainly appeasing to some of the niche/old school fans with series like this.

Wow, did not expect Discotek to license and old B&W series. Considering that Anime Sols had kickstarted this for streaming. And now they're dying off. Well, this is good news. And now they're offering BD, well this is enough to make BD enthusiasts squeal.

Unless the series are actually in HD with new transfers, it won't. It's just about the disc, it's about the video quality the disc allows you to have. |

Horrendous? Are you freaking kidding me? That improv dub is still one of the best things ever. It's not a nostalgia thing at all. Not many kids shows I know that threw words like pinko and fascist around, making mild innuendos and painting absurd surrealism; and this considering Saban of all companies made up the improv script, who were normally known for making everything overly kid-friendly. History is totally worth it when it comes to Samurai Pizza Cats. |

Chrno: The only reason Discotek picked Dororo up is because it's got a fanbase through the video game and manga. So don't expect more TezukaPro acquisitions of that nature, unless that thing does exceptionally well. 'Cus everything else on that site which wasn't Black Jack failed.

Are we absolutely sure yet that the Samurai set is sub/dub? The description distinguishes itself from an "earlier dub-only version", but thought the two separate Discotek DVD editions were due to the SPC cut having a different OP and cut from the original, like Cardcaptors vs. CCS.
It would be nice to get a dual-language version, as I'm still holding off on that 8-disk KNT DVD set, but I'm not buying it just for the Made-Up-Crap version.
