boinger Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 CDJapan and Amazon Japan has a pre-order listing of Evangelion TV series Bluray! So, it's just a matter of time to get Evangelion TV English Dub / English Subtitled blurays over to North America. Quote
Keith Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 The interesting situation there is that Anno seems to have taken possession of the Eva license away from Gainax, powwibly just in regards to the video release, and is releasing the TV series & movie set under Khara. Why is that interesting? Because he's also personally supervising 3.33's sub and dub release, which ia why Funi hasn't put it out yet. The same thing may occur when it comes time to relicense the series on BD over here. Personally, I'm hoping he chooses to just put subs on the Japanese set. Quote
Mr March Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) I love the new pieces of art in the Cowboy Bebop blu-ray set and so I built a wallpaper using that art in a style similar to the box cover for the Amazon.com Limited Edition set. I'll post it here, as well as a link to a 1920 x 1200 resolution version hosted on my webspace. http://www.macross2.net/m3/misc/cowboy-bebop-bluray.jpg Hope you like it Edited February 7, 2015 by Mr March Quote

Sildani Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Lovely Mr March! Could I request a 1080 X 1920 res for my iPhone 6+? Pretty please? Quote

The same thing may occur when it comes time to relicense the series on BD over here. Personally, I'm hoping he chooses to just put subs on the Japanese set. Isn't part of the problem for a English language release also that ADV has that pending lawsuit about the live action NGE that bankrupted them? Quote
Keith Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Not sure if that was ever resolved, but it was a live action movie specific case, so it never affected any other franchise rights. While ADV does technically still exist (aside from ahifting the entire company into Sentaj Filmworks), Anno took the rights from Gainax, and the series belongs to Khara now, so it's still a non issue (as that suit was with Gainax). Specs aren't finalized yet, but it apparently has beem confirmed that the show is getting a new telecine HD master, as are likely the films. On a personal note, I can't help but wonder if Anno is having Funi work on more than just translating 3.33. If they'rr secretly working on retranslating the films and series, then there may just been English subs on this new set. I just can't wait to see EOE in HD. Quote
Marzan Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 If the Japanese sets has English subs I will have no choice but to part with a substantial amount of money. I cannot wait for Funi to take 2 or 3 years to release this. Quote
Mr March Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 It's horrible! I'm gonna have to use it as my new wallpaper. I'm happy to soil your desktop, any time Lovely Mr March! Could I request a 1080 X 1920 res for my iPhone 6+? Pretty please? Hmmm, that would require rebuilding the wallpaper into a tall, narrow format. If I have time I might do that, but no promises. Quote

Keith Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I've been importing the Japanese BD's for a while now, still need to switch out from some of the U.S. BD's I'd already gotten. Quote
JetJockey Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) I rented and copied the tapes myself. All on SLP/EP mode so they looked like crap. It's funny, I think I knew about the different modes back then. I had a Beta too which had the smaller tapes. But I look at my old VHS Robotech recordings and the modes are all over the place. Plus you can tell I didn't know how to use the pause function when recording as when shows stop and start it cuts off scenes and dialog. I used the longer mode for some Robotech segments to get I think 4+ hours on the tape. It looks so washed out. But that's how I remember watching it originally. I still watch the New Generation from episode 3 to the vacation episode, many in between epsodes are missing, on VHS. I still don't have it on DVD. Waiting for Blu-ray. Anime like Bubblegum Crisis, Gunbuster, and Dangaio weren't available to rent. Or at least I never checked. I had to get those at comic shops or mail order. I think Nikaku and Books Nippan were the places back then. in mono audio only, too... Stereo was a big deal with the first real or professional looking Sony VHS I purchased. When a tape is in Stereo it says it in red. Edited February 19, 2015 by JetJockey Quote
