I wonder if S5 will be released standalone. There was a nice DVD collection with S1-4

Considering how the first four seasons were 4x3, and the aspect ratio switched within that ratio on top of that - they're not gonna try actually cropping the shit to fit 16x9, are they?

It's silly I have to ask this, but this kinda horseshit keeps happening

Holy crap, i just saw this on Blu-ray.com, amazing news. So many of my favorite animations finally coming to Blu-ray in the last few years, C. Bebop, JL/JLU, Iron Giant, GITS SAC, NGE (still waiting on a western release though), Mask of the Phantasm, Tokyo Godfathers (Region B release) and now Samurai Jack! I knew S5 was a done deal, but i didn't dare to hope S1-4 would also get the BD treatment. I wonder about the "remastered in HD" though.

Considering the time of release, i presume S1-4 were digitally animated in SD, like many shows of that time, would that mean they'll get remasted like the original Fullmetal Alchemist on BD, i.e. upscaled from SD, or could the original materials be used for a native HD remaster? Either way, it's going to look leagues better than the DVDs, if only because of the new encode. I wonder what the chances of it being Region B friendly are. I might have to finally take the plunge on an all regions player. I see WB is the publisher and pretty much all of their BD releases are region free, so hopefully it will be fine.

Anyway, that's one more off the list, now i'm waiting on Avatar: TLA and the rest of the DCAU.




Oh man, why you gotta jump to the worst case scenario? I didn't even cosider they would do that. I see The Wire still has people shook. :/
