[NorbieCH]

I wants it!!!

This has been a long time coming and I hope, like everyone here, that it will get a special release.


Be nice

They have the new masters... so now all they need to do is materialize a BD release :D

R1 DVD
JPN BD
FUNi stream from here

So you can clearly see what they're streaming is from the new masters and not the old ones that Geneon used. However, for streaming, they did crop the video to 4:3 (the JPN BDs were a weird aspect ratio). Hoping that we get all the video if they ever do get it out. Will definitely be buying it.

Sept? Heh, yeah. When I see it...

The real question is, how much? They could set a premium price on this.

If it truly materializes (September or not), it could go anywhere from $49.98 to $69.98. It's not likely that it will top $69.98. If I had to guess, $59.98 is more probable.

If they get that new print telecine print, then I'll pay Aniplex prices for it. That print is amazing.

Well, I'm interested. Let's wait and see.

Still no word on whether or not it's the new transfer though?
