Anime on 4K UHD BD? - Blu-ray Forum

4kUltraBD · 07-16-2018, 07:36 AM

Hello anime fans.

I have a question that may seem a bit silly on here, but I am not very familiar with anime in general, having seen very little. In fact, the entirety of my anime is only a hanful of stuff (if you count dvd and bd).

Anyway, I'm not current on anime news or release information (recommended websites would be great), but I have recently started collecting 4k UHD discs, and I am wondering if there has been any anime released on the format, or any news of forthcoming releases?

Perhaps you can (possibly) count Ghost in the Shell (Scarlett Johansson) although it is technically a live action film based on anime. I don't know if it's a popular opinion on this forum, but personally, I loved the movie and have watched it a few times now.

I also have the original anime version on BD and think it's great as well. The first time I watched it, I was shocked to see how much The Matrix owes to this now classic anime. As in, I felt it borrowed so many ideas from GitS, that I was a bit shocked, to be honest.

Admittedly, I like The Matrix, but in full disclosure, I prefer either the original anime or live action film of GitS to it.

As for other stuff, I absolutely love Akira and have watched it many, many times. In fact, I like it so much that it makes me want to buy the manga box set when I can afford to do so.

I also watched nearly all of the Death Note anime series on Netflix. I no longer have my subscription, but that series is seriously SO mind blowing that I can imagine it being an excellent introduction to anime, for the uninitiated. Kind of what it was for me, to be honest. Heck, I even liked the (seemingly) much derided live action film that Netflix produced.

I like Cowboy Bebop as well, and I bought the BD of the movie, but I have not watched through the whole series. Only seeing a handful of episodes on cartoon network years ago, but remember liking it.

Anyway, enough babbling about my miniscule anime experience. I'm looking to expand my anime collection on the latest format, and simply wondered what was available at this time, if anything.

Thanks.
