Default [US] List of Blu-ray Releases

As per WTK's suggestion, I have created a separate thread for a list of all US/R1 Blu-ray releases that are now available or announced for release thus far, including whether or not they are native/true HD or upscaled/upconverted from SD sources. Series that have underlines beneath their titles will be linked to their R1 DVD/Blu-ray Cover threads. (Forever an ongoing process) If a thread for a series does not exist there, then it will be linked to its Blu-ray section thread, if applicable. I will try to update this list very quickly and often.

Titles with particular miscellaneous notes will be located below the name, as indicated by a sub-bullet along with the note in bold print.

The list has been color-coded for your convenience:
Native HD | Upscale | HD & Upscale | Unconfirmed

Assume the following when you read this list:
  • Availability
    • Unless stated otherwise, a title listed here will be available at most retailers where anime is sold.
      • Some titles may be exclusive to a specific retailer(s). Misc. note below a title will indicate such a situation.
    • Unless stated otherwise, a title listed here will still be in-print and available to buy at a reasonable price without fear of the title going OOP (out of print). Titles that are OOP/will soon be OOP will be indicated as such.
  • Audio
    • Unless stated otherwise, a title listed here will have lossless audio (DTS HD-MA, Dolby TrueHD, or Linear PCM).
    • Unless stated otherwise, a title listed here will have both a Japanese audio track with English subtitles along with an English dub track.
  • Video
    • Unless stated otherwise, a title listed here is animated at a resolution of at least 720p if animated digitally.
    • Unless stated otherwise, a title listed here will have a video resolution output of 1080p.



~Officially solicited titles for release that are available now

























~Coming Soon (Titles that aren't out yet, but DO have a release date.)









~Unsolicited (Titles that aren't out yet, AND DO NOT have a release date yet.)

Should probably mention that the copy of GITS that came with GITS 2.0 was an upscale.

Duly noted. List has now been updated.

Hmm, are there any other US Blu-ray releases that need to be added to the list?

Street Fighter IV: The Ties that Bind (it only comes with Street Fighter IV: Collector's Edition video game).
Quote:
Afro Samurai: The Complete Murder Sessions - HD
If this S1 & S2 set is included, these should be included as well...

  • Gunbuster vs. Diebuster Aim For the Top! The GATTAI!! Movie
  • Tsubasa, RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE: Collected Memories Collection
Quote:
Animatrix - HD
Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino - HD
  • Animatrix - from The Ultimate Matrix Collection Box Set, not available separately
  • Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino - OVA is included.
Quote:
Dead Space: Downfall - HD
This is definitely not anime. If we were to include animation such as this, the list could grow even bigger.

Death Note Movie Double Feature - HD?
You probably should denote that this is live-action double feature.


And if un-solicited properties are listed, you should list these too. It's uncertain if/when some of the previously released on DVD series will be released (especially ones in bold).

  • Black Cat
  • Blue Gender (TV & Movie)
  • Chobits
  • Desert Punk
  • Eden of the East movies (Movie 1, Movie 2, Air Communication)
  • First Squad - The Moment of Truth
  • Nabari no Ou (Part 1 solicited, but canceled/postponed)
  • xxxHOLiC (1st Season)

On that note too, splitting the unsolicited stuff may not be a bad idea (to further down the first post).

  • Black Butler - ???
  • FLCL - Upscale
  • Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ - HD?
  • Trigun - ???

Mushi-shi was listed as coming soon too and it will definitely be an upscale.

The Eden of the East movies are HD and I'm assuming First Squad is HD too. IIRC, Nabari no Ou was confirmed by a Funi rep to be an upscale.

It wasn't listed on the latest BD Anime Source as coming soon. Black Cat and Blue Gender were listed as such. Desert Punk had a preliminary release date of 11/23/10.

I meant to say that it was listed in one of those Anime Source pamphlets earlier this year. It's unknown though if they are still planning to release it.

List has now been updated up to WTK and chronoclast's posts.

Hmm, does anybody know for sure whether or not Tsubasa Season 2 is an upscale or if it's really native HD?

What do you think about adding a note on CLAMP Double Feature that it's an upscale even though a true HD master exists?
