Hi everyone, I’ve been clearing out my attic and have a huge collection of R1 anime dvds circa 2009ish. Some UK stuff too. Mainly art boxes and some full collections. Is this stuff worth anything these days? I’d happily let it all go to a new home or put the whole lot up for auction in one go...

In terms of detail, you're correct that you can't get any more detail, but it's all about how it's presented, most anime DVDs have been poorly encoded, not utilising all the available bitrate and thus having a lot of artifacts. Blu-ray can quadruple the bitrate of DVD if necessary, but SD...

Why not ask the questions right here in this thread, so everyone can debate what the best ones/most worthy of being asked are? This is an amazing opportunity! Could you ask Masahiko Minami specifically, what his and his company's view on online distribution of anime is (for his own...

Yeah I mean all the stuff between cel and HD, the long SD era. 7 years of low quality 480 lines of data anime. : ( I agree, 100%.

They're more than that! Blu-ray's been out for a few years now, I wonder how long it took until universal DVD players started coming out after DVD arrived; that'd be a good estimate as to when cheap universal players will come into existence. I guess a PC Blu-ray reader hooked up to a TV...

This is the problem with this current generation. I have no idea what I'm going to do - either get on the import bandwagon and get an Oppo/hack it to play Region A and completely ignore the UK market, like I did for the whole DVD era since I realised how ****** UK DVDs are in comparison to US...

I was just wondering if anyone has this game, and did theirs also come with a slipcover around it? (with the same art as the actual case)

Thanks for the input everyone : ) @ Jayme: Yeah my current box is a Pace one, didn't think to have a look on their site haha. I was going to say that getting anything but a box that uses the Sky EPG is out of the question, but on second thoughts maybe it's not, though I wouldn't have...

So I got around to getting onto the HD bandwagon and now I have a lovely 32" 1080p TV but my current Sky box looks utter shite on it, so I was wondering if anyone who has a Sky HD box could recommend me a good make to get. I'm looking for the cheapest possible, and without any kind of hard...

Am I going completely crazy or did the ICA have several dates throughout September listed for Part 2 of 20thCB? Now it's not listed on the website anywhere/searching google finds nothing. I didn't dream this did I? Was really hoping to go see the second part near the end of this month : /

Bokurano works, which is surprising. Rin-ne still doesn't though.

I just randomly found this video (because the amazing Frankmusik did a remix for it), and it has lots of anime references - as seen in the lyrics next to the video. No idea who TEef is though, looks like another one of the new and upcoming bands. Hrm. "He buys bare gundam and reads new...

Don't forget NHK World (Sky channel 516). Fantastic channel. Very odd English speaking presenters though, very odd indeed.

I sincerely hope Sword of the Stranger won't be Barbican only. I swore never to see a film at that cinema again. Diabolical seating. Putting it on at the ICA on the other hand would make me very happy!

Oh. Some high profile guests for a change, instead of English VA's. Good.
