The Anime Blu-ray Video Quality Thread

[Mangaranga]

Gargantia came from that weird period in MangaUK's history where they were technically authoring titles locally, but they would reuse the existing video encodes, transcode the audio to 24bit LPCM for Stereo (or 24bit DTS-HD MA for 5.1), re-render the subtitles locally to a bigger grey font (some quick digging confirms they suffered from timing and display issues) and the chapter markers would be set at 5 minute intervals. Looking back some of the titles which fell under this were Gargantia, Psycho Pass, The Devil is a Part Timer and their original release of Attack on Titan Season 1.

Ah, that's very helpful, thank you; exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Would you happen to know whether the Australian Hanabee release would be the same (a clone of the Manga UK release), or whether it might have its own encode? Trying to work out what options are available for a better version of Gargantia than the Viz release.

[Mangaranga]

I wouldn't really know to be honest with you. The only thing I can really say about them is that they did their own encode for Toradora, and whilst it's an x264 encode in the correct colour space unlike the NISA release, the encode suffers from frame pulsing, so it's inherently worse. Their release of Accel World was also either a re-encode of the MediaOCD US BD to fit on 1 BD50 and 1 BD25 per half, or they (either themselves or commissioned MediaOCD again) did their own encode of the English credit master. It's so long ago that I genuinely couldn't possibly comment on the quality of that release in particular.

Pretty sure the Japanese release has English subtitles and is pretty reasonably priced used.

The Japanese release is an option, but I can get either of the region B releases for significantly less, so I wanted to see if that was a viable alternative.

That is the releases I have of it. Mandarake usually has sets of the three in one of the various store exclusive storage boxes for around 10000 or under for the TV series. OVA’s are pretty cheap to. Not sure how often Suruga-ya gets them in. Only downside is it takes up a bit of space but as a whole it’s a beautiful release worth the extra in my opinion.

So Paranoia Agent has a 'new' steelbook.. Is there any word if this is the same 'eh' quality release or did they touch it up?

Keep meaning to pick it up there or Sugura-ya, never did watch it all becasue the video is so bad on the Viz discs.

Only difference is they'll replace the FUNimation branding with Crunchyroll branding, there won't be a digital copy (for FUNimation's now 1 year old defunct website the redirects to Crunchyroll), and remove any trailers from the original release as all those were FUNimation-branded releases that are all now OOP. Everything else will be largely exactly the same.

inherently, the show is upscaled & has a soft diffusion filter + fake (but convincing) film effect applied over it to begin with, so it'll always look meh

Some stuff about Angel Heart found on the Discotek Media subreddit.

I was a little concerned by the product listing mentioning the series was crammed onto only 4 discs and was worried about the video quality. That concerned turned out to be very well founded. On my player I‘m seeing bitrates jumping around 10-20mbps which is better than most streaming but a little shy of other Blu-ray releases. It could turn out OK if well encoded however but IT’S NOT.

The video is 1080i and was likely digitally produced in SD. That can still be OK if upscale well, but it absolutely isn’t and the picture shows a high level of pixelation. Furthermore the encoding is awful, far worse than the bit rate would suggest with a lot of mosquito artifacts in particular. I don’t know how they messed it up this badly, yikes.

https://preview.redd.it/qc6z60by6hye...=webp&b60d9b8e

The interlaced encode introduces a number of comb artifacts as well. At least the 30fps CG elements are presented correctly.

The subtitles quality seems good so far, but it’s odd that Ryu’s ”Mokkiri” gets translated into a wide variety of expressions rather than left untranslated as it is with the City Hunter subs. I would have preferred that, but my brain still recognizes it fine and I’m not too thrown off by the choice. I also like how sing lyrics are handled displaying both English and Japanese even for the soundtrack songs.

This is my first Discotek purchase and I already have Cat’s Eye season 1 & 2 ordered too.

I really like artwork and general production quality of the discs in this set. But I sincerely hope the subpar video quality isn’t characteristic of this publisher. Here’s an offscreen capture which isn’t ideal but shows some of what I’m talking about.

https://preview.redd.it/5g07ooxp8hye...=webp&04da9695

That said, it’s wonderful to see this show again. I also ordered Cat’s Eye season 1 & 2 which I’m really looking forward to rewatching

This is indeed not a very good looking boxed set. The masters look pretty much just like this, due to it being VERY early in the digital/HD changeover. There's a reason why this show was not released on Blu-ray in Japan. In fact, the mosquito noise artifacts you notice are not something that really occurs with AVC (h.264) video compression that Blu-ray uses. It can be an artifact of MPEG-2, which was used in production environments at the time, or also can come from analog crosstalk. Can't really say. It's a 20 year old show. Still deserves a Blu-ray.

We have produced many, many discs with this bitrate and episode count, it's not unusual for us, and our discs usually get high praise for quality. I would invite you to try some of our other, less problematic discs. Cat's Eye is a good place to start, as are our City Hunter discs.

Mokkori usually is left untranslated but it didn't quite work for all of the situations in this case. Since Angel Heart is a bit alternate-universe we opted for more contextual translation.

Amusingly, the masters had a sweepstakes promo added to them. As a text crawl along the bottom of the screen! We had to upscale an SD master for that shot ourselves.

Cyber City OEDO 808 - 2022 Discotek Remastered BD vs 2025 Dybex BD

I suspect that the Dybex BD is a re-encode of the MediaOCD encodes with the compression artifacts inherited.

If they pulled the same crap with their €80 Wicked City/Demon City Shinjuku editions, then lol.

Heh, that's unfortunate. I bet the licensor only sent them the SD master of Oedo. As to Wicked City/Demon City, AFAIK they aren't.

Man, I was not expecting to ever be writing this post; so happy to see this BD out

USBD is authored region free

Video:

The Remi HD master situation is strange; Japan has yet to receive any sort of BD release
The existing HD master appears to be a new scan (i.e: not a reused DVD-era scan) but "unfinished". The scan lacks any cleanup of dirt/dust or restoration of the sort, unusually for TMS.
I will note that the scan has some scanner noise which reminds me heavily of Treasure Island's scan; both were probably done with similar workflows
Most of whatever film elements that were used here are mostly clean/non-distracting; however the OP/ED reels are the most dirty.
EP01's OP reel in particular has a nasty mold problem

The French BD (previously the only BD in the world) uses the same master, but attempts to hide some damage through digital fades in beginning/end of episodes; the USBD presents the master untouched

Encoding/authoring wise, the US disc destroys the French disc without question. The French BD was authored by good ol' Com'On Screen with their always-loved YouTube-level blocking hell all over the place. Despite the US disc using 4 BD50s as opposed to the French disc's 5, the detail retention is significantly improved. Additionally, the French disc overuses seamless branching to allow for both the French replacement OP/ED and the original Japanese OP/ED to be used on command; unfortunately they decided to only use one JP OP/ED reel for all episodes, so all episodes display the incorrect credits. The USBD restores the original credits.

Audio:

Both BDs use the same audio for the Japanese mono which is a very nice mag transfer. Not much to report on it, it's very clear and crisp. (French BD appears to be fake 24bit)

However, the sources used for the French dub differ greatly. The French BD uses a muffled source which has suspicious spectrogram results consistent with a lossy transcode

The USBD, on the other hand, uses a different, clearer source which is a significant improvement with a much better looking spectrogram (no weird cutoff or leftover data)

Subtitles:

I compared the BD subs with what's currently streaming on RetroCrush (which I assume are the licensor-provided subs) and the BD subs are much improved over that script. I don't know Japanese, so I can't give a true translation review, but the BD subs are much easier to read, far less stilted in many areas

Note: Only English subs, no French

Extras:

The only extras are the first trailer for the BD and the French dub OP/ED (in SD). The French OP/ED includes an English translation, which was nice of them to include

The available video source of the French OP/ED is a rough PAL master which then had to be converted to NTSC, so don't expect it to look super nice

Overall this is a great BD set which anyone who likes the works of Dezaki or this series in particular should get ASAP; the physical set is adorned with beautiful art by Akio Sugino, so I also recommend getting the slipcover version from the MediaOCD site if possible

I've noticed two consecutive scenes of about 5 seconds with frame blending in Labyrinth Labyrinthos. I haven't seen any other, I guess it is baked in the master. Scan is dated, but encode is solid IMO.

Looks like they applied similar filtering to the one found in the Memories FRBD

[SpaceDandy]

Care to be specific? I couldn't see any filtering in either Memories or Manie Manie.

Some individuals also incorrectly claimed Magnetic Rose on the FRA BD was underscanned too. Yet both the US and JP BD had zoomed into the picture and there were resize artifacts and leakage at the top of the frame.

[Kyle15]

Lineart looks like slurpy watercolor goo in some of those frames but not all. Bit of erased lines too. Most prominent in this shot: https://postimg.cc/qN0Bs5Ft

Definitely gonna wait on someone else to pick this up.

[peppapigstan]

Yeah, what Kyle15 pointed out, also: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...postcount=6850
the grain here looks super uniform, i spotted similar grain structure in some caps of the Neo-Tokyo FRBD but could just be me

[Citizen Bane]

How does the US release of 86 printed by Viz compare to the UK version printed by Crunchyroll (and maybe Aniplex since they're on the box)?
