Hi,
so are there any news about this release of Ninja Scroll?

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Ninja...Blu-ray/47757/

about aspect ratio will be in 4:3 or 16:9?

Xenonas · 10-03-2012, 06:05 AM

If it's 16:9 I ain't buying it.

Vintrus · 10-03-2012, 06:27 AM

More than likely it will be 4x3 since its only been released as that in the past.

xXFlipXx · 10-03-2012, 08:12 AM

well, dragon ball episodes and movies were in 4:3 originally in the past and they changed to 16:9 in blu ray versions... which i can say i don't like it but also i can't dislike... since we have 1080p tvs nowadays it's kinda odd see anything in 4:3 format...
theres already a ninja scroll in bluray that came out earlier, i don't know what the diference in this future release, only i can see it will come whit a steelbox...

The DVD has a 4x3 and a cropped 16x9 version.

There was some confusion about this after Manga originally stated it would be 16:9 but fortunately it was a misunderstanding and it will be in the original 4:3 https://www.facebook.com/mangauk/posts/143537969121476

I thought as much

The Japanese Blu-ray is in 1.33:1 as well. But I might be skipping the UK disc and going with the US Sentai disc, as they announced it will have an exclusive director's commentary track.

Don't confuse the movies with the series.

DBZ movies were made for widescreen theatrical distribution, so having them in widescreen is actually the 'way' to see them.

The series, on the other hand, was cropped to widescreen and resulted in an uproar from DBZ fans. Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT remained in 4:3 on DVD.

The UK version will also have a commentary track:

Is this any good? I'm not generally an anime fan, with Akira being one of the few exceptions, and I didn't really like the Ruroni Kenshin OVA I picked up. Does Ninja Scroll have a wider appeal than most anime?

It's ok, it's really violent and has a bit of sleaze thrown in it, from what I remember (i might be confused with Resurrection though).. kind of like your average 90s anime. The animation is really, really good though.

xXFlipXx · 10-07-2012, 05:04 PM

is it me or the image seems better in dvd version and worst on bluray version?
you can see the comparison... damn, i still prefer DVD version, i have less detail and quality but the colours are original, seems also that DVD cut a little the extremes...

Hope the next come out bluray version could fix the colours, which i doubt it...

LordCrumb · 10-07-2012, 07:42 PM

^ The Blu-Ray could be the original colours, and the DVD could be boosted.. you never know. Where did you get the comparison from?

xXFlipXx · 10-08-2012, 12:45 AM

i have my own DVD that i bought years ago, the bluray pics its from a site that i saw from mkv 1080p, then i compared both. maybe iisn't from a bluray... could be a conversion, hope so...

deepbreathsanddeath · 10-08-2012, 04:55 AM

I think the blu-ray looks way better. Colours are more lush and the lines look much more solid and stable. I already have the UK steelbook on pre-order but I hope to see more screenshots soon because now I'm excited

I'm also interested in where you got those blu-ray screenshots from.

Monroville · 10-08-2012, 05:15 AM

Do you have any time stamps on the blu-ray screen caps (or at least the time stamp from your dvd)? I have the japanese blu-ray and I would be interested to do a comparison as well...

If you take any, note down the time codes (some times it easier to do the first frame of a new scene) and I could take some of the Australian Anniversary DVD.

lateralspin · 10-08-2012, 08:53 AM

It's strange how the picture on blu-rays almost all the time is set to more blue (or less chromatic red). Perhaps this is meant to be how pictures are supposed to look. I will convince myself.
