I figured this warrants an interesting topic of its own.

Just recently I noticed there's been a discussion over the streams that Funi have been using. Apparently they have brightened or colour scanned their videos and people aren't happy.
It's hard to explain in my eyes but there's some comparisons:
Heavy Object
Funi vs Original
Noragami Aragoto
Funi vs Original
Overlord
Funi vs Original (or was it the other way around...)
Tokyo Ghoul Root A
Funi vs Original
Of course this isn't the first thing that we've seen this issue. A lot of Blu-ray anime titles released in the states have suffered from brightness issues which (correct me on this) as far as I'm aware Justin Sevakis has no idea how to fix.
So, the question of the day - does this bother you and have you noticed it at all?

It seems the issue isn't limited to just us viewers because I just found out that there's a lip-sync problem on Tokyo Ghoul Root A's episode 1 (labeled episode 13 here on the site) and it happened in the very dark scene at 16:43. I think the ADR Engineer also had difficulties seeing the mouth flaps due to the wrong color range they're using for these broadcast videos (and I can't blame him if it was the case).
