I bought all the singles ... Well, I have a nice artbox at least! Will probably double dip.

Ditto for me, I bought my set on eBay for $12 brand new (well, it was technically $20, if you could count the money I spent to buy a new 8-disc case to replace the bullsh*t stacker case that Media Blasters used ).
It would have to be a really stupendous video/audio upgrade for me to consider double-dipping on this.

Having totally dug this show before the US release, I splurged on the singles and art box.

Still, I'm willing to upgrade, but need to see how the video gets handled, before committing to a second purchase.

Didn't get the chance to watch the show, i think it's time that i do so when the BDs are out. Though i wonder how will it look on BD ?

[WTK]

Excellent news. I definitely will be double dipping on this.

I have their blu-ray of Heroes Two and it looks great. The HD streaming episodes look nice (except for some stuttering during panning shots) and I would hope that the blu-ray would look quite a bit better.

I haven't bought any MB BDs yet, but this might be my first one if they do it right. I remember seeing the first episode when it came out, and said to myself that I had to have this show in proper HD.

This hasn't been released in Japan yet, has it?
So what are the chances of a proper HD release?

As it's streaming in HD, not half bad. Might be forced subtitles like on some FUNi releases, but I can't imagine they would tell MB they can stream the show in HD but have to resort to upscales for Blu-ray.

Media Blasters has released upscales in the past, though.

Rightstuf has Part 1 listed at $49.99 and the release date is Feb. 22.
