Megazone 23 finally on blu-ray

[JetJockey]

I've never seen this anime before. I remember hearing about it when I was young but just never got around to getting a bootleg. Or actual copy if it was released over here back then. Happy Console Gamer just had a show about it and I can't wait to get around to watching it one day. It sounds cool. And of course the artwork looks beautiful.

It is a great show (at least the first two, I've never seen the third one). I even like the change in animation style in the second one.

I had a chance to look over the mastering of these Discs.

Kinda different for Japanese Blu-Ray's these discs actually have the latest copy protection.

They were mastered by a company called Luxent.

I'lll look more. but I'm kinda bummed about the low bitrate. But this is state of the art for an anime that was mastered to video.

In the end it is a godsend comparing it to the Macross D,Y,R,L, Blu-ray.

I don't think it was mastered to video. I think they are 35mm.

After looking at it this weekend on the 4K you are right,Checked it out with and without up-scaling and any picture enhancements.

The bitrate on these discs is killing me though.

For some reason the "special" disc is the only one that looks like it was mastered properly.

One thing missing:

But as crazy as Japan Victor Corp. is about copyrights i can understand why this was not included.
