Well I suppose that holds true for TV series, but movies have been in 16:9 for ages. For instance, I have a Project A-Ko laserdisc that's formatted in 16:9, but it's designed to run on a 4:3 TV so they gave it this funny letterbox job that has the movie displayed on the top 2/3 of the screen and the subtitles fill the bottom 1/3 of black space. Overall, I'd say you're completely safe with post-'05 anime. |

That Website said: Damn, will streaming 4k HD via the Internet be a viable option? Not to mention the insane file size for a single episode with decent quality.To give you a general idea of the requirements, an 8k stream (33.1 million pixels) would require 48-50 Gbps of bandwidth. 720p is still a grand luxury to me. 4k is just ridiculous, lol. |

CP9 said: I've never shied away from watching 16:9 anime on the old 4:3 screens I still use (like right now), nor have I done so more recently with 4:3 content on my newer 16:9 screens. While I don't entirely understand the aversion to black bars, I can answer the question with some confidence.i have seen a lot of old series ratio 4:3 in my 16:9 monitor, but those two big black bars are starting to irritate me, now i need to pick up series in 16:9 Negative-Travis said: Not quite. I did run through and count them awhile back, and while I can't find the exact numbers, I can say this much:Overall, I'd say you're completely safe with post-'05 anime. First 16:9 TV anime: Betterman (Spring 1999), Vandread (Fall 2000) After that, 16:9 anime gradually increased year to year. In the Fall 2006 season, the 16:9 numbers jumped considerably, to the point where 4:3 became a small minority. The last otaku-market 4:3 TV anime aired in 2007, those being Manabi Straight, Saint October (both Winter '07), and Lovely Complex (Spring '07). After that, the only 4:3 anime have been all-ages/kodomo shows like Chi's Sweet Home and the last 4:3 TV anime I've been able to find, Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia (Spring '09). Most long-running anime such as Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece switched to 16:9 around April of 2008. Some hentai continued to be made in 4:3 through the late 00s, though I don't know exactly when that practice stopped. So the shortest answer would be "Fall 2007." when hd(720p) became the standard resolution Again, not quite. There were a number of TV series in 2007 and 2008 (after the 16:9 transition was done) whose broadcasts were low-res (=720x480 anamorphic/letterboxed), or as the fansubbers released them, 400p. Even some of the 720p broadcasts for 2006-2009 anime were eventually regarded as upscales of low-res animation, as evidenced by the way people threw out their HDTV-rips of shows like Honey & Clover 2, Shigofumi, and Myself; Yourself in favor of DVD-rips.MajinSaga said: No, get an old monitor: a 4:3 screen as a secondary display -- works for 4:3 content and hiding the flaws in low-res anime that become more visible on large screens. It shouldn't be too hard to find one via Craigslist > Free or charity electronics shops.Get a new tv or monitor. Paul said: Oh yeah, I can't wait to see how awesomely TV stations can upscale anime that'll still be made (as it is today) at 540p or 720p to 4K or 8K or whatever.2020 for ultra HD. Can't wait for dat 8k resolution. |

 |
| Not sure if this is a direct answer, but the earliest HD television anime I know of(?) is One Piece, which began HD on Episode 207, which aired in October 2004. There is probably earlier, but I don't know. |

| I only notice when watching 90's anime such as Sorcerer Hunters (1995) when you have the black banners on each side of the screen. And as OP mentioned, it can get annoying after a while. The first season of Gintama was 4:3 i think as that had the black banner sections on either side of the screen as well. I've heard that at the beginning of the 2nd season (ep 201) Gintoki's hands appear to come out of the tv and widen the screen to 16:9 proportions. Am planning on starting Gintama S2 soon, can't wait! |

| Gintama changed their format with the second season in 2011 (the characters were pretty happy about it) |
| I'm still using a 2009 16:10 monitor on my pc and my laptop is 3:2, no matter what I watch I have black bars lol. |
| Well bigger is better just like girls choice. |

| 2007-2008 like Gurren Lagann and this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naruto:_Shippuden_(season_3) |
| You can switch the Aspect Ratio mode in VLC easily, from 4:3 to 16:9, 16:10 and vice versa, but once you do so you should be prerpared to watch it like: |
 |
| I got really confused when people were talking about 16:9 like it's a new thing |
yaruka said: I'm still using a 2009 16:10 monitor on my pc and my laptop is 3:2, no matter what I watch I have black bars lol. Same here, 16:10 is perfect for me. It's still working fine, I just had to replace faulty caps some time ago, not a big deal ^_^ |
 |
| They gradually shifted from 4:3 to 16:9 in early to mid 2000s. If the black bars bother you, then buy a 4:3 CRT and look up youtube guides on how to connect it to your PC. |
