Animé HD remasters - Blu-ray Forum

androvsky · 10-25-2007, 05:11 AM

I just noticed Cowboy Bebop (among others) was announced to be released on Blu-ray in Japan in January (TRUE HD soundtrack w00t!). Anyway, seeing as how the American release was handled so nicely by Sony, I was wondering if the rather incredible English dub could be included on that disc. Subtitles is fine for the other movies, but the Bebop dub is something special, something Sony recognized when they went out of their way to get the actors from the TV series to dub the movie.

I think Chris Beveridge will confirm that a few people will happily import Bebop, especially with both language tracks.

I hate to disappoint you, but I haven't heard about a BD release for Cowboy Bebop in Japan, just a new DVD set using HD remasters (remastered in high def, then scaled down to DVD rez). Got a link?

It won't have english to protect Sony's release. What Bandai does over there has nothing to do with what Sony does over here.

The "HD" Bebop set in Japan was cleaned up and upscaled. It was not a reshoot/rescan, and neither was Macross 7 or Escaflowne, or any of the other onese from "HD masters" While the film for Evangelion was rescanned a few years ago, it was only done in standard def and therefore any HD reissue would require doing the whole process over again.

Ah, the movie, I thought you meant the TV series. Cool, didn't know about the movie coming out, but I wish the TV series was being released in Blu as well.
