RightStuf to distribute all of Gundam in North America

[Thomas Guycott]

Yeah, that sounds pretty much identical to the info/deal Right Stuf has put out, aside from the Reconguista acquirement.

[CouncilSpectre]

Will be interesting to see what AL do with Turn A. DVD-only like RS or going their own way with a BD release.

Maybe I should hold off watching my DVDs until we know...

A BD might be entirely possible since Anime Ltd. would just lock it for region B.

The DVDs look pretty good, I'm pleased with the quality of them so far.

[Naiera]

They're fine, but they'll look like trash compared to a Blu-ray release.

Of course, but I think a blu release is unlikely unless the original MSG sells well enough.

[CouncilSpectre]

I'd hope that we hear a little more about their Gundam plans at either MCM Scotland Comic Con in September, or Scotland Loves Anime or MCM London Comic Con in October.

Call me names as a non-fan or whatever, but I haven't seen the original MSG in its TV iteration. However, I am quite fond of the MSG movie trilogy. And I have to be honest, I'm not interested in buying TV MSG on Blu-ray.

I, too, hope that TV MSG sells well. I hope it causes them to release the MSG movie trilogy. But most of all I would love to get BDs of MS IGLOO/2, 08th MS Team, War in the Pocket, Stardust Memory, Zeta, Double Zeta, Char's Counterattack, F91, and Victory (and G-Saviour ).

Am I dreaming? Definitely.

You're changing the subject now

I'm not saying I'll wait around for years, but I think it prudent to wait and see what happens.

Based on recent AL comments I'd put money on them doing a DVD-only release of Turn A.

Their release date of MSG is dependent on the US date and the on-disc content will be exactly the same as the US release.

From the sounds of it I can't see AL doing anything differently to what RS do now. They appear to be less independent than we perhaps originally thought.

Special Features: Clean Opening and Closing, Blu-ray and DVD Commercials.

The Italian version is in a similar price range and comes with more special features and fancy packaging. The first part comes with a 100 page booklet and the second part comes with a 150 page booklet and a replica of the storyboard for episode 1.

[CouncilSpectre]

They're getting episode 15 as well....

I have Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Seed, and MS Unit, DVD boxsets that look as good as Bluray. It would have to be shot in digital to be bluray beneficial.

[NLScavenger]

The US Gundam part 1 set will have two discs:

The UK Gundam part 1 will have three discs according to Amazon UK and Zavvi.

Anime on film benefit a lot from a Blu-ray release. The US Bandai Entertainment release and the first EU Beez Gundam Wing DVD release don't look anywhere near as good as Blu-ray. Almost look like VHS. And while Beez released a DVD set in 2008 of Gundam Wing sourced from the HD restoration later used for the Japanese Blu-ray set in 2013, the DVD's still suffer from noticeable compression issues. A Blu-ray release would fix many of those issues.

You don't have any DVDs that look as good as Blu-ray. As far as what you write in your last sentence, you could not be more wrong.

Upscaling SD on-the-fly looks horrible compared to a proper, pre-authoring upscale, like all Blu-rays based on SD content get.

And this isn't SD content.
