  1. I'm gonna have to agree with the Sith Lord here. It's nice of them to give us extras like the pachinko game footage, but will Blu-Ray really make this 30-year old cartoon look any better? They'll be upscaling video. The sound is still mono. And as EXO said, I don't know if I wanna see some of those scenes in HD.
  2. In the words of Kawamori, "God knows." That's his story. That's my story. And we're sticking to it.
  3. You can try but the there has been some issues noted with animated GIFs and the forum software.
  4. ‘Akira’ Not Dead Yet, Despite Vancouver Office Closing And Test Option Expirations With Lead Actors (Deadline) So WB wanted to make alterations???
  5. For those who are reacting to the price, I'll just leave these:
  6. Or they can just shelf it till they're willing to spend more money. $60-70M? That sounds like WB doesn't have a lot of faith in this production to begin with. Yes, they could make a movie on that budget, but yeah, doesn't sound like they want to invest heavily. Not saying that's a bad thing cuz the probability of failure is probably gonna be high anyways, but who knows...maybe WB is actually listening to the Interwebs. Of course, WB is reviewing the budgets of 2 other movies (Arthur and Lancelot and Paradise Lost). Maybe the realized they should cut back on crap movies????
  7. Ummm...it's been on Hulu forever?
  8. ‘Akira’ On Hold (Again) as Warner Bros. Looks at Budget and Casting (SlashFilm)
  9. Like many things, it's the vocal minority.
  10. And it's Light Rifting Body.
  11. (That's all the response I'm gonna give it.)
  12. Were you looking for a specific thread? We have never had a "other anime/scifi toy" section. We have threads about other toys in the Anime and Sci-fi section, but not an entire section dedicated to other anime/sci-fi toys.
  13. No. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=19545
  14. Interview with Ken Iyadomi. There's still a chance that Turn A may come, but it won't be under the BEI label. But considering how Sunrise's licensors are, it would have to be a hefy investment on any company going for the Gundam license.
  15. I'm not terribly worried about the Japanese market as that's fairly easy to figure out who has a stake in what. Bingo. Again, bingo.
  16. That would work too. You could try dropping it off a 20-story building for added measure.
  17. In all honesty, we don't know. This has kinda been a problem with DYRL?. We don't know who owns the film distribution rights because it has been released through so many labels. And those labels may have been bought up through the years so they've transferred from one hand to another. Those companies may still exist in some form or another. We don't know if those rights expired or if they are running in perpetuaity.
  18. We talking "complete wipe due to sensitive data" or "I just want to clean it"-wipe? If it's the latter, any low-level formatting will do the job or KillDisk. If you want the former, then you'll probably want to look for a program that can do a DoD 5220.22-M-standard wipe or adheres to a certified cleaning standard (Like DiskWipe or SecureErase (no longer supported)).
  19. Cuz the only decent way you can get 5.1 sound from a mono-track is to mirror it on other 4 channels? Or blast it from the center channel? Spliting a mono-track into different channels is pain-staking work that's more effort than its worth. By the time you're done with it, it ain't gonna sound the way it should and you'll probably be years older when it's done. Here's a thread on VideoHelp.com about converting a mono-track to surround: http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/196415-Converting-Mono-to-Surround This is why they changed it. Freiflug88's post back here pretty much says it. If they're selling nostalgia, I'm sure many of us never had 5.1 surround sound back in 1985.
  20. Hey, if you wanna prove your case, then you better have some clear questions. That's all I'm saying. Same goes for for the other side. You never asked what AnimEigo recieved or confirmed what AnimEigo recieved. Frankly, if the company HG hired to do the sound for their "Remastered"-collection decided to screw with the 5.1 sound, then that's on them. AnimEigo, ADV, and Bandai probably got a it right by not converting a mono-track into something that it shouldn't be or redoing sounds altogether. It's probably not. But oh well. That's RT's problem. Not Macross'.
  21. His response didn't say WHAT they recieved and from where. Also try including what you wrote for context.
