Is it that you were hoping for more on-disc extras?The same or slightly more expensive, I would think. That's the usual pattern. |

I actually expect more on the disc as well, not only a pure VHS-style version. Most of the extras in the DVDs were for me of questionable quality (I really dislike the original illustrator artwork). The booklet is short and can't even be considered an "extra"... Granted I wasn't expecting a Nanoha STRIKERS limited edition version, but I expected more considering it isn't cheap at all for what it offers. And as for prices, I was referring to a (possible) Blu-ray single disc release.

Blu-ray BOX CM (Released on January 30) Horo I... I completed the jigsaw puzzle at last! But... Why on earth is Blu-ray BOX released ? And what's more, why on earth is it the limited production version? Phooey! Lawrence If you pre-order it, you will not be worried about it. Horo Sure. But with your money. Horo Please pre-order Blu-ray BOX. Lawrence What are you talking about? You are the one who forced the puzzle on me. Horo This time, the hard puzzle is not included. So, please buy it. --------------------------------------------- Lawrence If you desire it earnestly, I will risk on my merchant's pride and will get it! Horo Well... Since it was a little expensive, I thought whether you could buy it. I'm glad that my appeal succeeded. "What are you talking about? You are the one who forced the puzzle on me." This dialog represents DVD buyer's feelings. |

In CM of DVD, Lawrence was assembling the jigsaw puzzle desperately. I also have six incomplete jigsaw puzzles. |

If you scroll down just a bit beyond halfway there's what looks to be a prototype? unfinished? Horo figure. I'd post directly but they're NWS because she's nude.

More pictures there, I believe it's the sculpters website? Lets you rotate around her a bit. They're small images though. |

At my local Costco, they have two identical hi-def tvs and are playing the same movie (one normal DVD, the other Blu-ray). Yeah, there's a considerable difference - though that was a live-action example. I just don't know that Spice&Wolf had the "eyeglitter" that would make Blu-ray very noticeable.
Now, semething like 5cm/sec or collage of Kyo-ani "moments" might just burn eyeballs out.

In any case, though, I feel like this one of those "can you really tell the difference with HD" / "are DVDs good enough" questions. This is like my sister who always watches TV shows in SD even though we have an HD tuner box and HD channels because she just doesn't care. It may just be one of those "if I have to explain to you why native HD shows look better in HD, then you probably won't get it" sorts of things. Maybe you either see it or you don't. To me, it was really obvious. Edit: Quote:
Of course, all this is really talking about the first season, so I should probably move it to the other thread... I guess we'll leave it at this for now, but we can carry on the conversation over in the Merchandise thread. |

DVD upscaled to 720P using Photoshop: http://i40.tinypic.com/30ts100.jpg 720P HDTV sourced fansub: http://i41.tinypic.com/rauwkx.jpg 720P Bluray rip: http://i42.tinypic.com/30clmxt.jpg There's a noticeable jump from SD to HD, but the difference between the fansub and Bluray is much smaller - bit more texture on some of the trees, maybe. Although I imagine the higher bitrate means the Bluray version would have less video artifacts: |

@ relentlessflame - Oh, good point. I have the HDTV broadcast files, and that's what I'm comparing them to. So you're saying that if I were to get the DVDs, then those would be worse than the HDTV files that I have? And the Blu-Ray won’t be much different than the HDTV files I have? Guess that makes sense.

I have to say that the quality of "Spice and Wolf Blu-ray Disc" is not necessarily high as a Blu-ray video disc.
Like the following images, I thought that I was uncomfortable about the horizontal stripes included in an outline. Spoiler for large image:
But compared with DVD, it is clear much. In a second season, since an animation company changes to Brain's Base, it will surely become good. There was no new video in this disc in addition to TV-CM of Blu-ray Box. Returns are that the character design picture of the front appearance of the stark nakedness of the whole body of Horo was in the booklet. |

It's Horo, not Han Solo.

Btw, do you know when the "visual novel" goes on sale for preorder? Like when it gets listed on websites, before April 30th.
