(Isn't Lupin Part 2 just upscaled on Blu-ray?)

Is it really? I don't know. I have no idea where to research such things. I've seen "720p Blu-ray rips" of that series on torrent sites, but it takes up 223 GB so I never downloaded it.

Does the west ever get any animu on Blu-Ray? It looks like those only ever come up in nipland while baka gaijin can get shitty DVD sets and go fuck themselves.

Seems to be a Burger thing, since I've seen plenty of Blu-Ray animu in shelves.

(Then again we tend to be even more fucked when it comes to old stuff.)

Encoders are retarded,

Here's the link if you want to investigate it:

EDIT: Oh dear. So it looks like the Japanese Blu-rays were legit, but over-DNRed. Which would have been fine for fansub purposes. But this fansubber added a fake film grain filter to try and "restore" it and bloated the filesize needlessly.

I think Sevakis and his buddies did something similar with the U.S. Galaxy Express 999 Blu-rays. The Japanese Blu-rays were over-DNRed, so instead of doing their own HD rescan of the film, they just took the Japanese Blu-ray and added in that fake film grain filter to it.

Was that for the movies or the TV series? Because the movies were raped by DNR but the TV was upscaled. Discotek acted like making their own upscale would solve anything. I hate the video industry so god damn much.

For GE999? It was the movies. The TV series isn't out yet. I think an SD-Bluray would be appropriate for the TV series rather than a stupid upscale.
I know the movies were raped by DNR, but adding fake grain doesn't help. Either shell out the cash to do your own scan of the film, or just use the raped version. Trying to polish a turd is just a waste of time and money. People don't actually like the GRAIN, they like the DETAIL in the film and that's already lost to the DNR. Adding fake grain doesn't bring the lost detail back.

You'd think bringing out a cartoon in high def on Blu-Ray would be easy as shit, right?

Proper remusterds are very expensive. Why do you think Funimation made the Orange Bricks? Why did they cancel the Levels Sets? Shitsux and I hate it all.

Looking at the current shit going on I think it's because they are just incompetent.

What a clusterfuck. Funi keeps fucking things up and then they try again later and you're supposed to buy DBZ all over again. And again, and again, and again.

I've been gradually buying the DBZ Kai Blu-rays when they're on sale. I do really miss "Cha-La Head Cha La" and stuff, but there's way less bullshit in this version. I don't think Funi will ever properly restore the original DBZ on Blu-ray, so Kai is as good as it's going to get.
