I respect Justin, but I rolled my eyes when he mentioned cherry picking.

DVD-Video is MPEG-2 only.

Cyber City Oedo 808 BD remaster is bad. It's blurry, lots of details are erased, there is posterization and they didn't bother to fix the blocky chroma. Fansubbers could whip up a much better filter-chain that doesn't damage the picture like that. I think the worst part is that it seems to be...

You can't delete card details without deleting account on US site (dunno about UK site). Not letting customers easily delete card details is a big no-no IMO.

If Discotek were to release Part 1 on BD, they probably wouldn't want to do an SD-BD. The main reason why Part 1 was released only on DVD was because of the bad Blu-ray remaster, but since then the superior HDTV remaster from the mid 2000s has resurfaced on various VOD services. The HDTV...

Doesn't sound like they're going to fix Gundam Narrative. Guess I won't be buying Hathaway's Flash from them.

They're not required to, but it's not a good look when there are US/UK distributors who open up their replacement schemes to international customers.

Or better yet, they could have used the Nozomi disc for the UK market. I hope there's going to be a replacement program, or else I'll wait for Nozomi to release a standard edition and swap the disc. Still available at UP1, but I don't know if they ship to Australia United Publications - Turn...

Thanks! Also bought one, so 1 left now. Interestingly list price is $24.99 when shipped to my country (Netherlands), but it shows $29.99 if country is the UK.

The home video version should have just tweaks to the animation/framing and the exact same runtime. I know that at least two shots were incorrectly framed in the theatrical version. There are probably more changes than just those two. Theatrical left / Home video right - theatrical has grey...

The higher brightness enhances and exposes the noise and posterization present in darker colors: Gundam NT UK/JP/US | Slowpoke Pics After sampling a few scenes, I have to say that it's not that bad of an encode (but not good either) even with the wrong brightness, noise & posterizarion in...

Nozomi release uses home video master.

Maybe it's a good idea to forward the pictures to Justin Sevakis since he encoded the disc.

I don't know if the Nozomi version also uses theatrical version, but certainly compression would have been better.

Gundam Narrative has problems. Wrong brightness and artifacting. I'll post some screenshots of that later today. It also seems to be based on theatrical version as you can see here: Gundam Narrative | Slowpoke Pics Edit: Maybe the Oedo artifacts aren't something that you're supposed to see...

The ASIN code and manufacturer reference are of the Japanese DVD

I have a VHS recording of the dub from a early 90s Hong Kong TVB Pearl broadcast somewhere. It's on the Japanese DVD from 2002. It's out of print, but you can still find used copies on Amazon UK and CDJapan for example Laputa: Castle in the Sky: Amazon.co.uk: Anna Paquin, James Van Dev Beek...

The FR/UK Gundam Movie trilogy is fine btw. It's a much better release than the US because it has original Japanese mono. I don't recall much wrong with Zeta aside from missing original JP OP/ED like US BD. Early Nozomi releases like 0083 have bad encoding. If AL is ever going to release 08th...

Encoded at very low video bitrate with artifacting. The compression was imo a big downgrade from Justin Sevakis' wonderful work on Origin I-IV.

Is it a UK/FR disc? Guess I'll have to swap the disc with the Nozomi disc once they release a standard edition. Did the same with Origin V-VI recently.
