Yeah, I definitely forgot a few things.
It's tough to keep track of all the various ways that Viz has screwed up their releases.
Yeah, there's always the possibility of a 1080i release or something.

Hmm? What happened? The original remastered was a disaster?
The best way I can describe hunter X hunter is that it's basically the incarnation of what we remember dragonball z to be.
We remember it to have great fights and interesting characters with nice plot points, but if you watch it now it's mostly stretched out fluff most of the time. Hunter x hunger has amazing fights, extremely well thought out, great arcs, and good drama and character progression (if you ignore gon's stupid reversion in the last arc)
So how many of these screw-ups happened in the past 2-3 years, and how many are from last decade?

STOP BULLYING TRIGGER
One of the few recent shounens that actually has character development, The MCs aren't all powerful(in fact they get kicked around all the time) and a sense that the author actually had a plan for progression. Just great story all-around with fun MCs and a great cast of side-characters.
Add in Madhouse's great animation and a killer soundtrack.

That is Shiro Miwa design alright.
Maybe in season 2...sometime in the future
Subete ga F ni nare 1
Introduction episode, and introducing one ugly cg car.
I have no idea what's going to happen, since this episode focus on the protagonist quirk and stuff. One character is rich moe girl, while the other is genius eccentric professor, sociopath genius who was a suspect on a murder case, the narrator, the doormat guy, teasing girl, and no bullshit girl.
OP and ED is excellent, song and animation wise.

Most of these things are from last decade (or at least I observed them last decade, I haven't followed a lot of Viz's recent releases, so they may have all been done again on recent releases).
It's worth noting that Viz's recent release of Sailor Moon is an all-time terrible release.
These can't be recent. They just can't be. I know the bolded one is their Zatch Bell release which was about a decade ago.
Okay, so it's a legit throwback to those things with decent pacing?
Also, I liked your Rachnera better lol.
Trigger is Hoyerrible. DOH-HOHOHOHOHO!
Okay, solid gameplan. Very promising.
Damn... oh well, I'll have to wait.

Symphogear G 5-9
A wild ride so far. Hibiki gets her arm bitten off, turns into black Hibiki, regrow that arm and destroys that monster, and is discovered that gungnir is fusing.and almost killing Hibiki but no one tells her outright so she goes and tries to stop Dr. Ver who is crazy now. Maria's Symphogear buddies then try to climax sing but then Hibiki's climax song takes it and furthers the fusion. Maria turns out not to be Fine but by so chance scythe girl does.With Hibiki's recovery, Miku and Hibiki go a date which of course is where FIS and America are having their negotiations which turn south and then has Miku apparently die and Maria be bothered by killing more. Then they wind up in the middle of the ocean with Maria trying to stop the Noise and Scythe girl stopping Shirabe and finally with a cliffhanger with Miku in a Symphogear. This is insane but awesome

Didn't see any of that, but I could handle the animation issues with Samurai Flamenco and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Noragami S2 Episode 2
Wow, fuck this doctor. Dude is one of those villains that doesn't seem very powerful himself, but is great at manipulating people.
For those of you who felt like Yukine was too hard on Yato in the first season, this episode will probably make the series easier to swallow.

I'm no fan of Viz's anime releases, but let's remember to use RECENT examples as our baseline for worrying.
So, yeah, Sailor Moon doesn't bode well, but at least Hunter Hunter's not going to require upscaling, right?

Line used outdated football joke.
Outdated football joke is ineffective.
Your joke would have worked if Hoyer was still on the Browns. I don't claim him or the Texans.
BOOM
Hey man, I was just trying to stay positive from last night. Take comfort in the fact that we're officially worse than you, you damn Browns cat.

Just think, maybe if you put both TX teams together they could be almost good enough to play the Pat's. Well, they still wouldn't have a QB..

Garo: Guren no Tsuki - 01
I wasn't terribly impressed by this first episode. The dark elements of the first show is still present which I like, and the cheesy stuff that goes with it.
Soundtrack did its job well but I think it had its up and downs to the setting. The trap session had as sort of pink panther vibe, and the candy scene on the bridge felt like something lighthearted you'd hear from the silent era.
I'm not entirely sold on the characters yet, but I'm sure that'll change in the near future. I did like when Seimei had her little enthusiastic moment with the relic, so I hope there'll be more of that in the spirit of Herman from the earlier show. I do not like that one of the main characters is basically a kid this time though.
The new look of the armor bothers me, I'm not sure what they changed exactly and why, but it looks more cheap to me now. The climax of the end fight also felt anticlimactic to me.
A central presence of a Makai Alchemist this early is cool and promising, as I feel it wasn't showed enough about their ability and skills earlier.
Setting wise I think it'll be interesting enough, I can see Mappa doing some sick monster designs with it. Although I think an Aztec setting or something like it would be cooler, this'll do fine I feel.

Very nice.

Actually to play devil's advocate to Viz Media, not all of their recent releases have been botched. Tiger & Bunny's BD's were of good quality and for all the issues I had with Project K, Viz's release of the show was not one of them. Hopefully HxH BD's and DVD's will be of similar quality to Tiger and Bunny and K.

It's like episode one, but with a yeti this time.
Did anything from the first episode get resolved?
That heat vision part didn't look that believable by the way.
Will continue watching this because it's short but I'm not blown away by it.

Yeah, not everything they do is terrible. But Viz is just a big grab bag. With FUNimation or Sentai you can usually be pretty sure what you're going to get (for better and for worse), with Viz, you never really know what it's going to be.

Both examples above had good dubs though I'd put Tiger and Bunny's dub above K's dub for a variety of reasons. Gargantia also had a decent dub.
Those are the only Viz shows I've seen from them as of late, can't comment on how say, Accel World's dub was like.
Yeah, Viz is a complete crapshoot in terms of quality. They're either better than Funimation, or worse than Sentai depending on the release.

Wouldn't "powered exoskeleton" be something more like Rescue Police Winspector rather than Mobile Police Patlabor? I'm assuming that robotic-looking thing is human-sized and that magical girl thingie is some kind of a mini anthropomorphic AI or something.
Christ that looks so much better than my Kickstarter copy, and for less money. ):
I've put in order in, I shouldn't give them my money but I'm a glutton for punishment and having sick shit on my shelves.

This is the first episode where it felt like stuff was crammed. "Hey, we don't know where my bro went" 10 seconds later "ONII-CHAN IS HERE!"

key visual for Taniguchi Goro's new anime 'Active Raid'
That sure looks a mech series. It doesn't seem specially "serious", the robot is showing a photo of the pilot?
I have historically avoided collecting physical media for anything I could avoid doing so, but I was thinking about starting, at least for blu-rays, because that shit looks better when it's not being streamed.
This has just kinda guaranteed I won't bother, though.
I will probably end up ordering a copy and hating myself for it for similar reasons. Damn it.

Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst - 01
Maria shenanigans and smug are the best. No Zest is a disappointment, but more Kurumi is welcomed.
Censoring is once again at least a bit creative in certain spots which I prefer to the steam or light beams!

Whereas if I order it everyone will hate me because I'm benefiting from not originally kickstarting it.
Yeah I have an addiction to buying Blu-rays that come in cool packaging especially those with nice artwork. I'm not a digital person at all, even if something is free to stream I'd still pay £200+ for a nice set from Japan, English subtitles be damned. Too bad 90% of anime sets look like tacky garbage, well maybe it isn't too bad if it saves me some money. I'll double dip for this, but truth be told this set isn't all that awesome either, I just have a bad habit. I'm more than happy with my KS set.
Why would anyone hate you for it? Just buy what you want and fuck everyone else.

Noragami Aragoto Episode 02
Wow that was brutal. Poor Suzuha.
It appears that the Rabo stuff never happened lol.

Seems like everyone already hates you for the OP, so you don't have much to worry about there!
U;
I prefer everything in the best quality possible, which for video, means physical media (by and large, anyway). No compression artifacts from streaming, highest bitrate, etc.
Alas, that shit's expensive and I am not a rich person.
i wouldnt mind knowing what the bitrate of this version is compared to the KS one
Nah. I can't even say I particularly hate Trigger for putting a nice edition of it out so quickly, though the comparative quality of the art books kind of stings a little.

I am not really feeling this as much as S1. Probably because they are continuing to focus on Yukine and Bishamonten and not Yato so zzzzzzzzz
This looks like peak lewd (aside from TLR Darkness manga) Will watch BD screencaps

Yokai Watch dub 3-4
Even my buddy who said "this looks like a stupid pokemon rip off" is on board with Yokai Watch. This show is just hysterical and the dub is ace. Its refreshing to see a anime for kids dubbed that doesn't feel like it was dubbed for 5 year olds.
