Toon Zone Talkback - FUNimation Announces New November Titles Including "Dragonaut"

Hopefully by next spring, I will have a Blu-ray player. If not, I may or may not buy 1.11, and if so, it probably won't be immediately, unless I can find someone who will buy my 1.01 right then. Incidentally, does anyone here want to buy 1.01 next spring?
 
Uh GWOtaku, sorry to burst everyone's parade but if the difference between 1.01 and 1.11 is the same in English as the japanese versions, it's a SERIOUS business.

You literally cannot see even the lips in the last 30 min of the movie in 1.01. And I should know.
 
Uuuuh, I could. I saw 1.0 on a theater screen in one of DC's museums during the Cherry Blossom Festival. A screener copy, I'll grant, but still. So either the DVD transfer was horrible for some reason, or 1.01 created problems that 1.0 didn't have.

I'm sure people on the internet have posted side by side shots and spotted all sorts of differences. At the risk of it looking like I'm saying that ignorance is bliss, though, when it comes to just sitting down and watching the movie like a normal person, I just seriously doubt that one would enjoy one version of the movie any less than another.

The movie may see 2-3 different releases in an attempt to make as much money as possible, but that doesn't mean that people should be out 20 bucks for no good reason if it can be helped. It's silly to own two nearly identical versions of the same thing. Lord knows, there's plenty out there that such an amount of cash could go to instead.
 
If you want an example, here's a live comparison:

1.01 (start at 5:40): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLGF4V-CKPA&feature=related

1.11: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwUY716AX7w&feature=channel_page

The transfer was very bad. That's part of the reason why they made 1.11 so soon.
 
Here's what's got me confused.

Clearly the FUNI trailer is using 1.11, but if they're selling the same 1.01 I think they're using, that's just going to be a bit bad in terms of product misleading.


Who knows? FUNI could magically get Studio Khara to print special "American" 1.01's that fixed the darkness problems.

Thats all for me, Darn you funi for making me wait till Years end for CC movie 3 & Soul eater! Darnz UZ! LULZ!
 
It should be. I did that before when I found out Negima Neo was based off the anime, so I cancelled my order of the manga. Went through without a hitch even though I had other items on my order that had already shipped.
 
Good to know. I figured it would be, since Rightstuf has never disappointed me with their customer service in the past.

EDIT: Nevermind, they already replied with an email saying that item was canceled. Rightstuf is awesome.
 
I haven't done this in a while, but here are some links to cover arts, with some comments where I see fit:
-Baraboo Blade
-Dragon Ball Season 2
-Dragon Ball Z Dragon Box
-Dragonaut: Not as boobified as it could've been!
-Eva 1.01: Giant robot, no surprise here.
-FMA movie Blu-ray: If you've seen the DVD cover, you've seen this one.
-Spice and Wolf: Lovely.
-Tower of Druaga: Why is everyone shouting?
-Tsubasa Blu-ray
-Witcrabroadlade Blu-ray: A bit plain, but at least it uses the Japanese artwork instead of the American comic version from the complete collection.
 
I give them credit for making the Dragonaut one not look like it was fanservice filled crud-fest. If I didn't know better, I'd say it looked pretty cool.

The Druaga one kicks ass. Very RPG-ish.
 
I'll buy One Piece Season 2 Voyage 4 someday.

But right now all I have is Season 1 Voyage 4. (Yeah, I don't even have anything before that. XD)
 
No One Piece yet? We usually see that before anything else that is released at the same time. Oh well, I'm sure it won't be long. It's been a while since I've seen Dragon Ball, so I guess I forgot about the times when people cared about Krillin. Dragon Box we've seen, but is still nice. Eva 1.01 is as excepted, but still pretty. I wonder what 1.11 will look like. Tower of Druaga is epic.
