Good grief, I've fallen behind in updating this thread for a while there. So sorry. Been busy in real life.

I'll be making updates to the list throughout the day today. Most of the release dates should be up to date, I believe.

[Chiryoku]

Thanks a lot for the list and keeping it up to date!

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

Speaking of which...my list is outdated by about a week now. I should start updating again soon. Been busy with the holidays and all.

Thanks for the help, WTK. I got some updating to do later.

This may be unfeasible due to the amount of titles involved, but is there any way it could be noted if a particular release was afflicted with excess DVNR (ex: Champloo release 1, FLCL)? That would be just as useful to me as noting if it's an upscale or not.

I'll try to dig around and see which releases were plagued with that. Off the top of my head, besides the ones you mentioned, I remember D.Gray-man being DVNR'ed to death.

Except for a few brief instances, I was pretty much away from my computer yesterday. Hopefully, I'll be able to update the list sometime later today. I plan to do a substantial overhaul of the list in the hopes that it becomes a little less messy. Here's hoping my idea doesn't backfire.

It's currently 4:15 am where I am right now. I should be sleeping.

[EnigmaticWarrior]

I have finally finished updating the list and reformatting it a little. It took me a few hours, but I finally did it. If there's something wrong with the list or if you feel something needs to be added, feel free to post a message.

Right now, I have all the Blu-ray titles that are available now sorted by whether or not they are SD or HD in two separate lists, along with the color-coding that's been a part of the overall list since the inception of this thread. While it isn't what you're quite looking for exactly, I'm currently debating in my head as to whether or not I want to reformat the list even further to accommodate your question. My only concern right now is that I fear I may make the list even messier than before. Still, I'll think about it.

If I remember correctly, a lot of FUNimation's earlier upscales pre-Ouran had issues regarding regarding the picture quality. (The first release of Samurai Champloo, the first season of Tsubasa Chronicle, Claymore, D.Gray-man, Gunslinger Girl, and Basilisk come to mind off the top of my head) Of course, that doesn't mean all of FUNimation's recent upscales are great either. (Fairy Tail, anyone?)
