That's where I'm sitting: new cover is dece', but that original art is incredible. Glad it's included.

Does anyone have the Project A-Ko art book?

They may not be art books, but I have two comic anthologies for the series. Hell, I still have the CPM comic book where C-Ko is using the "Can't we all just get along?" quote!

Dragon78 · 12-15-2021, 10:42 AM

Yeah, about a week to go before release.

blackadder213 · 12-16-2021, 02:03 AM

I haven't seen this in so long, I don't really even remember much. I used to have a fansub VHS.

Very excited for this release. I made a comparison video on my Youtube channel comparing footage from the Central Park Media DVD release with this new HD remaster if anyone is interested

blackadder213 · 12-20-2021, 12:51 AM

The CPM one looks better to me.

Why would CPM's version look better?

Why, because its brighter? The detail and the color balance in the Discotek one is much better.

It's comments like these that probably makes Justin Sevakis throw hammers at his computer screen.

I also prefer to watch anime with a layer of vaseline over my eyes and aliasing so sharp it could poke an eye out.

While this is all amusing, I have two thoughts.

1. The YouTube teaser clip is not final colors. It’s auto-converted from HDR, and also the lab delivered the reds a little too cranked. So that really is not a comparison with the final disc. If that could be clarified I would appreciate it.

2. That’s bait.

The Red gamut looks great to me. Especially once you see one of the robots (at the 0:18 mark) is orange in the CPM release, whereas it's clearly (and probably meant to be) red on the Discotek disc.

The reds in the clip might be deep, but not overly vibrant to where it bleeds. I think you did a good job. It needs to be said.

Lum · 12-20-2021, 08:23 AM

Saturated colors, yuck. Leave that to the early digipaint rubbish bin.

Dragon78 · 12-20-2021, 11:44 AM

Hopefully this ships this week and there are no delays.

Kyle15 · 12-20-2021, 02:02 PM

Yea, even when squashed on Youtube the restoration looks amazing. This can't come soon enough!!

jsevakis · 12-20-2021, 02:56 PM

I'd really hoped these would have shipped to end consumers by now. I haven't gotten my copies yet either (and I have a TON to ship out to people who helped and did us favors). I think our replicator is really backed up.

It would be nice to have a blu-ray factory in the US.
