Lain - The banding & brightness issues on this was pretty bad and IIRC, there were some LEs that had issues with the art box where the paint was peeling off early.Ĭowboy Bebop - The previous release had some issues, specifically with degraining & regraining but it's the lesser of the 3 evils compared to the UK & Japanese releases plus if you're into English extras, FUNi had 2 new extras made with the voice cast that's only on their release with a third one apparently happening for the new set. Be aware though that if you're into keeping old extras, the FUNi release is missing the Red Fraction music video that's on the Geneon extra DVD for season 1. Second Raid however, has some issues due to being one of their older upscales (2009) with it's main problem being dropped frames in the opening & ending videos due to the way they were animated (30fps I believe) and this wasn't an issue on the DVDs.īlack Lagoon - They used the Japanese upscale for seasons 1 & 2 and aside from some banding, that release was decent. It should also be noted that both were released back when FUNi was improving with their in-house upscales (post-Ouran in 2010) and with less of the issues that their earlier releases had. So would the upgrades to the Blu-Rays be worth upgrades?įull Metal Panic - Season 1 & Fumoffu are definite upgrades over the ADV DVDs, especially Fumoffu because ADV was given a bad composite master for that season which had dotcrawl and FUNi's release has none of that.

For Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid I have the first Funimation complete collection (digipack release) with all the extras from the singles.From what I can tell its not worth upgrading to the newer Blu-Ray sets if you have an older DVD release.
I currently have ADV Films 2nd Box Set (Red Thinpak) release of Full Metal Panic! and the singles & artbox release of Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu.The main shows I've thought about upgrading are: From what I can tell in most cases the answer is no but I thought I ask you guys.

However since I've been out of the loop for so long I'm unsure if some are worth buying the upgrade or not. I typically don't upgrade any form of media (games/movies/anime, etc.) unless there is good reason. I know some shows were "remastered" for a Blu-Ray release but I don't want to go pouring good hard cash on an upgrade when it could have been used elsewhere.
Is it worth upgrading some older shows I have on DVD to the newer Blu-Ray releases? Howdy everyone! I've been out of the collecting scene for a while due to some factors beyond my control but I'm ready to jump back in! I know a lot has changed since the early 2010's so I thought I post this question here.
