Except for the cases where the US companies do their own upscaling, the Japanese licensors send their licensees 1080p materials, so the US companies always list them as 1080p. It's a fair enough claim to make, as their materials and the discs themselves are 1080p encodes, and there will be at least some amount of actual 1080p detail, although most of it may not have been produced that way. At this point I think only the most high-profile theatrical anime films are even produced in native 1080p.

At least that's how I understand it right now. If any of that is incorrect, I'd love to learn more about it.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I believe Hissatsu has said that before. But honestly I haven't paid as much attention in the last year or so, so maybe they did start animating at a higher resolution finally...
