I see, that is a disappointing upgrade.
The show will never get a good upscale due to be a very early digipaint anime, and all early digipaint anime suffer this fate
I'd honestly love to pick up the initial BD Box because goddamn if that box isn't classy as all get out.I'm still planning to get the JP re-release, just because of the benefits of BD over DVD media in general, even if the PQ is not an improvement. I do own the nice US DVD art box set with all the children on it.
I'd say that's a great way to describe HR, which I also discovered via MVM's dotw. Even with the meh looking dvds it was certainly an experience. Yoshitoshi ABe' artwork and character design is distinct and I quite like it, and want to check out more of his projects (I'm watching Lain soon and I took that Texhnolyze challenge a while back.)I've just been watching some Haibane Renmei DVD extras. There was an interview with producer Yasuyuki Ueda, and this is what he had to say about the series:
"This story is a little unusual: it has very few elements that are intended to hype up the viewers' emotions. Instead, by seeing the characters go through whatever they do, the viewers can reflect on their own experiences and feel something."He's bang-on there, don't you think?
Reading the MAL comments for the episode it seems that this part of her training is skipped over in the novel and we pick up when she is competent at it. So hopefully it moves on quickly. Although maybe they are planning on a second season and want to string this part out.Violet Evergarden episode 2 Decent, and wonderfully animated, though how many emotionally distant/naive female anime characters have we seen by now? I'm hoping they do something different with this trope within the narrative.
Ah that's interesting. I hope they do something interesting with the concept, since it has some potential.Reading the MAL comments for the episode it seems that this part of her training is skipped over in the novel and we pick up when she is competent at it.

From where they are with her at the moment, they've obviously got to show some "growth" as at the moment she's totally unsuited to the job. I would like to see some more flashback stuff as she was only with the Major 4 years if I remember correctly, so she was obviously mistreated/not taught anything before that and then became a bad ass (that could also read/write) pretty quickly from the mess that she was.Ah that's interesting.

The one about him calling out another girls name in bed? Didn't really make sense in the dub (just watching back now, probably more sense than the subs though) and there were some points when I thought of switching to subs because they didn't make the VO loud enough to hear it over the music!Violent Soundgarden ep2
Thinking I might switch to the dub for the next one - that joke about Hodgkins's first name felt quite garbled in the sub script. I noticed a few little things like that with Netflix's subs for Devilman Crybaby too.
This is also the first I've noticed that you can't directly screengrab from Netflix. GG, guys.

Screenshots blocked on Phone app and PS4 as well BTW.
Apparently it ranking quite low with Japanese fans
