The back of the box states that Mysterious Girlfriend X will be Region AB... and 1080i...

I am going to sound really smug now, and for that I ask your forgiveness, but ever since I bought my region-free Oppo blu-ray player the region code of a blu-ray disc has ceased to be a factor in my decision-making process for purchasing an anime blu-ray.
Sorry, but I just had to say that.

Can someone please explain to me why 1080i is bad?. I honestly don't know the difference between 1080i and 1080p

Eh, there's quite a lot of us here who have multi-region BD players, myself included. To be honest, buying my beloved BDX3200 was the best decision I've made.Yakumo said:
This is purely just for those who can only buy/play region B discs so they know what is available to them.
To be blunt, interlacing makes things look ****, especially in motion. Go and watch a DVD on your PC using your monitor and it should be evident why it's bad.Invisible Crane said:
The annoying thing is that the source material for these shows is 1080p to begin with, so we're just getting ****** video, and that's not the only problem either. These 1080i Sentai releases also suffer from bad compression and aliasing issues which are not in the original Japanese video - there's definitely something going on between Sentai and certain licensors - some people even suggest that Sentai may actually be getting the TV masters to work with rather than gimped Blu-ray masters.

It's possible there have been two different pressings, IIRC that has happened before.

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia will be Region AB and is actually 1080p unlike Mysterious Girlfriend X which is 1080i
Also includes commentary tracks and 2 soundtrack CDs.

It'll probably work the same way as most sentai BD releases, as long as the ability to select titles manually is in that one (since it's the first BD release from Maiden Japan and I can't be that sure if they'd be done the same way even the two companies do have a distributor in common).BDT87 said:

Anyone know if this will be Region A&B like the other Sekirei titles? - https://www.up1.co.uk/Details/S2956

I won't say 100% yes yet, but usually all Funi do with these complete sets is take the same discs and repackage them. It wouldn't be worth paying massive amounts re-authoring the discs just to lock us out.Dannielle said:

I have been reading posts on blu-ray.com, and somebody posted back covers for certain series.
I can confirm Sekirei will be A+B. Also Fairy Tail collection 1 & 2 will be repackaged, and thus be A+B. ^_^
Of course that is assuming they haven't made a mistake on the cover art, but that doesn't happen that much IIRC.

I have all of Funi's Shana releases and every single one is locked. (Movie/Season 2/OVAs/Final)Rob F1UK said:Looking to pick up the FUNi releases of Shakugan no Shana Final from UP1 - I have a region free DVD player, but does anyone know for sure what the coding of the BD's is? I have a Sony Region B player, so was hoping the BD's might be A&B? Cheers
