Re: [US] Squid Girl
I'm not surprised; Amazon will only let you push a title back for so long until they pretty much tell you to where to stick it. You have to please Amazon or you'll lose a pretty big chunk of...

Re: [US] Dream Eater Merry
What's with the giant black bar on the left side? Does whatever NLE setup they're using not allow cropping? Geez.

Re: Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo boxsets
Multi-pass encoding is (or should be, anyway) pretty basic stuff; you simply punch in your minimum, maximum, and desired average bitrate. The encoder then makes a "dummy" pass through the video,...

Re: Madoka Magica, Vol.1 (Blu-ray / DVD, Reg / LE)
Something "extra", whatever that may be.
Nobody knows how special it'll be (or even if it'll materialize for sure yet), but this is more or less the same kind of deal that got us that lovely Utena...

Re: [US] Strike Witches (Season 2)
Let me get this straight: They cancelled the BD combo set because they're waiting for pre-upscaled HD masters when they could have just upscaled the Digibetas they already had?
Priceless. :)

Re: [US] Baccano!
For those who missed it on TRSI, the Bandai Store (http://store.bandai-ent.com/category_s/178.htm) still has it listed - better hurry though, as it's shutting down for good on the 29th!

Re: [US] X'amd: Lost Memories
I think only FMP: TSR has the frame-drop issues. The JP release doesn't, but it's encoded at 1080i, which is the only way to preserve the original 30fps OP footage... kind of a damned if you do...

Re: [US] K-On!
I agree, but only to a point: The price for the Madoka Magica RE looks close at a glance ($150 vs $130), but it only holds up if we ignore the episode count and typical retailer discounts. You could...

Re: [US] K-On!
True enough, but Madoka Magica is also being sold as a premium product with a substantially higher MSRP than K-On! ever had. I can't imagine the actual sales numbers for Madoka Magica will be...

No problem - I tend to forget that not everyone keeps tabs on which US releases are ports of JP editions. The import release is quite literally the exact same thing - same box, same discs - except...

Re: [us] R.o.d. Tv + Ova
This is a 1:1 copy of the Japanese box set at about half the retail price, and no film elements exist to remaster the show any harder than an upscale can provide.
Forget the state of anything - I...

Re: Can someone explain me what happened?
No. There is absolutely no negative aspect to using lossless. The fees associated with DTS-HD MA are negligible. PCM audio has no related fees, but it's not usually used for 5.1 tracks because it's a...
