    I dunno if KR would sell in the UK, but I would buy them if they fixed the issues of the Shout releases. iirc the worst was Ryuuki because Shout weave deinterlaced the 1080i60 master to 1080p30 which is something that should never be done to native 60i content. Kuuga is the only release that...

    Defective or Disappointing UK Anime Discs

    MovieZyng is setting up a replacement program for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Blu-ray because of the silent LFE channel on the English track: Blu-ray Forum - View Single Post - Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: The Complete Limited Series MovieZyng is the webshop of Allied Vaughn, the producer and...

    Not that the Season 3 booklet has meaningful material. Bought the Japanese season 3 volumes on release. I was disappointed by the 2-page booklets with only character profiles, and judging by Gravs unboxing pics the contents are the same.

    PS3 Blu-ray region can be changed with softmod. Can't change DVD region however because it's tied to the hardware.

    Japanese Blu-rays with English Support (Subtitles and Audio) Thread

    The information on V-storage (Bandai's site) is 99% of the time correct; iirc the only error in recent times that I can think of was when they listed a wrong aspect ratio on the Macross DYRL UHD 1080p BD disc, which they fixed a few days later. You can add these to the list: Panty & Stocking...

    Were it not for the fact that the missing frames are from repeated shots that they can copy from, I would agree with that. This is something that they can fix without needing new materials from Japan.

    There are frames missing in the Perfect Blue UHD when the photographer is stabbed repeatedly. The screen goes black during those parts. This also happens on the Japanese UHD. Video comparison with Blu-ray (slowed down to 6fps for easier viewing) This happens again a few seconds later, but I'm...

    The discs are different though; the authoring is shared with France/Germany/Italy.

    Best sites for Japanese Blurays?

    I buy new Japanese BDs from CDJapan because of their superb packaging. They charge SRP (minus Japanese tax) on Blu-rays, but the reward points, point campaigns and coupons make the prices more tolerable. I usually pick the cheapest tracked option, registered airmail, but it unfortunately has...

    Digibeta is SD. The old HD master is from a noisy CRT telecine probably intended for HDTV broadcast. It didn't get a new remaster from the 35mm film until recently probably due to lack of interest from the parties involved. --------------------- I wonder if the frame glitch early on in the...

    Deluxe Edition seems to carry over the physical extras from the Aniplex release. Packaging is different though; Aniplex release has a clear PET O-ring that holds the digipack, books and extras together. Deluxe Edition seems to have a chipboard box with the 2nd anniversary artwork.

    The authoring house applied dynamic range compression to all the audio tracks to make quieter scenes louder and louder scenes less loud. While dynamic range compression can be desirable in some situations, such as watching with the TV's built-in speakers or late at night, it shouldn't be...
