What does more contrasted and upscaled mean? Like just turning up the contrast levels in photoshop or on a tv monitor or something like that?
lol I'm no expert, but from what little I know, upscaled in layman's terms means something equivalent to "stretched out". Think of it as stretching a picture that's 1200p to 2400p without all the advanced techniques of smoothing out the edges, contrast levels, and other stuff that wouldn't make the picture look blurry. Something like that.

It'll be Wednesday morning/late-morning/afternoon (for Europeans) for us.

Sounds about right, but I think the fact the footage may have been interlaced when they were upscaling it is the cause of the poor quality (but Japan uses the PAL encoding system, so I guess footage isn't interlaced there?). It makes me think Toei Animation had the original files/cels but were too lazy to pull them out of the archives to work on them, or they don't have them anymore for whatever reason and had to make do with what they had. Which is still poor management anyway you look at it. One would think they'd do this months in advance, but it sounds like they had maybe a month at the least and rushed it.

Hmm okay. Well that definitely seems like a pretty unprofessional thing to do. :(

Yes, the both websites are down, but as far as I know the new PV should air from day to day, and after that we will surely get the needed information.

EDIT: The PV is already available.

And releasing low-quality blu-rays.


I agree, the Blu-ray isn't much different than just more constrasted coloring. But the box is pretty, though


For a 44,000 Yen Blu-Ray box, it's really disappointing. Nothing much changed, the box is good, but I kind of expect more from it.

Here is what I found by comparing the old version and the 2015 Blu-Ray box version.



Nothing changed much other than some coloring and precising.

Why make the original image pop? All that does is make an older series look like an newer series, and that causes said series to lose part of it's charm.

No not really. The blu-ray version makes the series more HD and it makes me want to watch the first season again.

It looks okay. It's definitely sharper than the original version. Not gonna make me feel like rewatching that shit again though. I mean, the nostalgia tank is running out for me. Couldn't even get myself to sit through a marathon rewatch before the May PV was released because I got bored by episode 17.
