NTSC has a higher framerate (30fps) than PAL (25fps) so using framerate conversion would result in a whopping 20% slowdown. The speedup occurs when going from film rate, 24fps, which applies to all modern anime which is sourced from HD masters and results in a 4% speedup. Madman always pitch...

It was one of the first titles they announced. There was pretty much nothing more said about it until Manchester.

Not that I'm at all familiar with the franchise, but the logo is identical to that on the US and Japanese cover art for the anime. It is also in the original Japanese game logo as the handakuten on the パ.

Whatever happened to those Zavvi-exclusive Ghibli steelbooks that were promised a while back>

540p is what I've seen for FMA:B and others, although that is usually determined by reverse-engineering (either anibin-style or by tricks like downsampling then re-upsampling at decreasing resolutions until you get a visible loss of detail) rather than actual knowledge of the process or materials.

I have no explanation. I though from the "This video is not available." message it wasn't available anywhere at the moment (a region lock usually produces "The uploader has not made this video available in your country.") Maybe they have changed regionsAllowed from a whitelist to a blacklist...

Are you sure that's not just a packaging error? Are we talking about people who can easily afford the prices and decide not to? I mean, I "boycott" many things on grounds of price point. Like Lamborghinis. I... Not having seen the film, maybe Andrew's worried, with it being a historical...

Not just US & CA...

Viz Europe also signed a merchandise deal for Terraformars, and look what happened to that...

NTSC has a higher framerate than PAL, and both are higher than film standard. NTSC/PAL only applies to SD material on BDs (they are colour standards). 1080p video has to be stored at 24/23.976fps (24p, film rate) and 1080i can be either 25fps (50i, PAL rate) or 29.97fps (60i, NTSC rate). You can...

FUNimation's content on Crunchyroll is mostly stuff that Crunchyroll had first and managed to arrange to keep hold of, like the first two episodes of Asobi ni Ikuyo and Attack on Titan. The only Anime Limited (UK) title I can think of is Plastic Memories and, since they haven't done it again...

If they're using the original ADV UK masters.. then they were usually converted to PAL (25fps) from the NTSC (30fps) masters using pulldown so the timing is the same. The timing changes when using 24fps masters; you can get away with a 4% framerate change but not 20%. I have the old ADV discs...

UKA compared the squished down Kaze discs of... was it K(?) to the US discs and they actually seemed to have done a decent job of using VBR to make the most out of the limited space.

It's "not applicable" to FMP sadly.

Kaze have huge resources on the continent so can author their own discs, and also have more muscle both having the whole European market to leverage (as opposed to just the UK for MVM) and being part of ShoPro. IncendiaryLemon, meet ConanThe3rd.

I'll take 5.

Unless I've missed anything: Berserk Movie 3 The Bleach movies and everything past series 9 (when VME became Kaze) except Series 11 Complete Collection, Series 14 Part 1 and Series 16 Part 2 Code Geass & R2 All of Magi released thus far Mardock Scramble 1&2 Nisekoi Part 2 (although there seemed...

Evidently they have been sub-licensing the show from FUNImation who have grabbed the UK rights. For reasons that are yet the be made clear, they are no longer able to obtain any licenses from FUNimation.

And Evangeline Athanasia Kitty McDowell is hundreds of years old, so are many other loli-type characters.

These are the titles you're debating, right? The one I know best personally is Kiddy Grade, which had a limited edtion box with the first volume (as far as US releases go, I only have these 8 singles personally). The initial release (limited to 5,000) also included a baseball cap, although...
