The upscale isn't done well either - it's got smearing, edge enhancement, contrast/black level modification (which results in black crush), etc. Basically it's garbage, unfortunately.

It's proper bluray for S1... But S1 was had an option of dvd or bluray. Not combined. The real answer lies in S2 if its a DVD case.

Limited edition is DVD/Bluray + Holo Coin.

Holy shit this was so good. Good deduction skills by Kaiji turning the tides to his side once again. Also awesome plan by drawing out Funai.

I still can't believe how they made a game of rock paper scissors last this long and still stay interesting.

I still have to finish the anime, but I always found those sexual undertones reaaaally weird. Like, when she´s fighting that boy with his pet that is a giant flying sword, and it nails her on a tree, inbetween her legs and...wat. Loved the contrasting gruesomeness, though.

So can someone just state flat out, is the rage over the Spice and Wolf BD just elitism, or does it really look god-awful terrible in motion?

Guys, can we declare a moratorium on Usagi Drop spoilers? We get it, something fucked up happens and everyone hates the manga now. I've gone out of my way to avoid spoilers but yet I still have a vague idea of what fucking happens. I'd like to keep it up to that point, please. (At least until I watch the movie then all bets are off)

The anime supposedly isn't running anywhere near long enough to reach the manga ending, so it isn't something you should really worry about being spoiled on.

It probably isn't what you would guess anyways, if that helps ease your mind.

I hope so, although with everyone's emphasis on the manga, I'm probably not too far off on guessing whatever it is.

Well if the anime is never going to get there it doesn't really matter how the manga ends.

The manga could end with Daikichi getting cryogenically frozen to run an orphanage on Mars in the year 2153, but that kind of thing wouldn't spoil the anime if the plot remains in the early stages of the manga.

I plan on reading the manga when the anime ends, so I'd also prefer no spoiler talk.

To be fair, people who talk on their cell phones while driving are pretty evil.

Yeah, it's pretty good. If you liked episode 1, you'll probably love the rest of the show.

There's a pretty eh non-ending, but if you're open to reading the manga afterward, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Ye, I'll probably end up reading the Manga one time.

The 'Non-Ending' might not bother me that much if the next 11 Episodes are good.
