K-ON!
| All of the versions I've seen out so far are 4:3, I assume some decent networks will be airing it in 16:9 in the next few weeks, but I'd appreciate if anybody can point out 16:9 releases when they appear. |
| yeah man res is bullshit |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I watched it live, that's the res it airs in. |
| I swear I'm the only person that doesn't care whether it's in 4:3 or 16:9. |
 |
| Clannad aired in WS 3 weeks after it aired in SD. Would hate to see that here too >< |

Plate said: I watched it live, that's the res it airs in. Yes, thus why I said broadcast crop. It's happened with numerous series over the years. xxxHolic, Clannad, Hidamari Sketch etc. The first (few) broadcasts are 4:3 crops then there's usually a proper 16:9 broadcast later (though in some cases, just have to wait for DVDs). |
| Yeah, I fucking hate this. Only after 3 weeks WS will be released... |
| 4:3 is bullshit. In this day and age I can't believe there's no 16:9 let alone a 720p version. |

| Come on, its just a resolution. all TV program were like this before 2004 i think so, you'll not die of 4:3 res! |
Good Job ! |
| Yeah. Resolution doesn't add anything to show's quality. If it's good, it will be good in any resolution, and if it's crap - it will be crap even on a blu-ray release. |
seishi-sama said: They're not talking about resolution, it's the aspect ratio. The 4:3 broadcast is missing about 30% of the frame because the sides have been cut off = you're not getting the whole frame = you're not seeing the entire show.Yeah. Resolution doesn't add anything to show's quality. If it's good, it will be good in any resolution, and if it's crap - it will be crap even on a blu-ray release. I think I need to wait those 3 weeks as well. Fuck. |
HybridKira said: Come on, its just a resolution. all TV program were like this before 2004 i think so, you'll not die of 4:3 res! Not really, a lot of stuff has been 16:9 for longer than that. And as kuroshiroi said, it's not the AR that is the concern; I have hundreds of 4:3 series. The fact it's cropped from the original production is the issue. I seriously doubt Kyoani made it in 4:3, so it's almost certainly a crop. I want to see the show as it was made, not as some stupid TV networks want to broadcast it for whatever idiotic reasons they choose to do 4:3 crops. |
| Then wait just like you did with Clannad. I watched After Story with 4:3. I'll just rewatch it when it's all ready. For now I'll watch the cropped one since I'll be picking what series to watch as it's released. I'm only limited up to 2-4 series depending on the genre. |

| What the what the? Why the hell would they do this? I don't get it :/ |
| Well, I'm just happy if it does get into 16:9 at all. Someone will rip the DVD guys, and when they do, just make sure you're all over it. Simple as that. |
| "On TBS, in order to adjust size, most 16:9 anime is cropped on the left and right. But on BS-i, they are broadcasted in their original form." - Wikipedia Luckily, K-ON! airs on both! So hopefully we'll be able to see it soon, although I have no idea what date it plays. Maybe that's why not many subbers have picked this up yet, waiting for 16:9? Just guessing here. |

Kinda funny retarded how [Aasasubs - Raster Project] K-ON! - 01 [1280x720 - H264].mp4 is just a 4:3 format stretched to 1280x720 >_<  Edit: According to ANN, it airs on BS-i starting 2009-04-25 |
     |
| Yeah, Aasasubs sucks, don't download unless you put it back to full screen with a converter. And my! BS-i airs it on the 25th! Hopefully someone will sub those as soon as they come out. |

| You'd think one of the technological centers of the world would always use higher tech for everything. Good thing I'm not watching this right now. |

Hmm, I was a tad annoyed when I saw K-ON! was in the non Widescreen format, but after seeing the resolutions of non-WS & WS side by side for Clannad, I'm pretty annoyed they're cutting bits off for whatever reason =\ Besides, Coalguys said this, so I'll watch from 4:3 & the 16:9, since I have no willpower: Coalguys said: P.S2. We’ll do the Widescreen version airing on BS-TBS in a few weeks. (Also the Blu-rays if they aren’t terrible upscales (lol kyoani).) ~Abs |
| I'll pretty much be doing what Abmanju will do, watch both. |

That's one of the most retarded thing I've seen in a while. I'm enjoying the 4:3 of K-On but once the 16:9 comes out then I'll download it as well. |
Scud said: I swear I'm the only person that doesn't care whether it's in 4:3 or 16:9. You aren't the only one. If anything I hate how many networks, in the United States anyway, so quickly abandoned 4:3 when penetration of 16:9 widescreen television in the United States is still fairly low. It's annoying having everything cut off on every channel. I was so glad when I finally got a new tv. |

It's annoying having everything cut off on every channel. I was so glad when I finally got a new tv. The main reason me and everybody else loves 16:9 is because it's closer to our fov so we can fit more TV in our vision = more K-ON! to see. |

I echo this along with kevo's image link a few posts above in case there really is some confusion on what the thread's topic means. The word 'resolution' is incorrectly (or at least misleadingly) used to refer to aspect ratio. I and most others here certainly don't mind a little bit of blurriness or compression artifacts in our anime*, but we care very much about part of the viewable area of the screen being missing. ^^; *Those who do care are the ones downloading the 1080p releases (should someone release them; generally 720p is pretty much the typical high standard). |

| I want WS !!! |
 |
| Starting tomorrow, BS-i starts airing the 16:9 episodes. Just a heads up. |
| Which fansub group will handle the WS version? |
Sylpheed said: CoalGuys just released episode 1 in WS, great stuff. I think most of the groups will release WS as well, it doesn't take that much work if they've done the FS version first.Which fansub group will handle the WS version? |

| wow, nice. but it starts to piss me off. first basara with two different broadcast versions and now k-on with it's HD rebroadcast... so I'll end up downloading two releases instead of one. |

| Chihiro Fansubs is also subbing widescreen. |
| I finished Chihiro's version today; terrible video quality, but I guess sufficient to watch the series in without crop idiocy. Will be getting it on Blu-ray for full appreciation. |

| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
sbyrstall said: IMO, the did a pretty good job. Whoever says it was bad need to check the resolution of thier computer. 1920x1200... check. What is your point exactly? Were you blind to the blurring, tearing and general washed out picture as a whole? What does that have to do with resolution? |
