Talk about adding insult to injury. I assume Ikuhara's translated commentaries aren't present on there either?

The second season being dated, yes, but the second PSP game is new. The first game's sales, as a benchmark to keep in mind:
07./00. [PSP] Ro-Kyu-Bu! # <ADV> (Kadokawa Games) {2011.10.27} (¥6.090) - 17.593 / NEW

Poor Minorin. ;_; I actually feel kinda bad for her. I wonder when we'll find out why she's been so weird for the past several episodes...Also

go away Ami, you're in the way

Can either spend 600 bucks and get a whole japanese series with all the on disc trimmings or pocket change for a complete series with minor shortcomings.
Yeah, the only extras are the Clean OP&ED and the Japanese Promos.
edit: Huh, does anyone know what the deal is with this "Ikunichawder" thing?
It's mostly up to Taichi. Greedy Chihaya releases fusion power, Kana has the game locked.

Lisa Lisa has a nice hometown. Cars proves why he is the ultimate Pillar Man. Goddamn
!
I am never buying separate volumes of anime again! I just got the complete collection of Baccano! and now I'm going to have to deal with having an extra first volume!

OH MY GOD THE FEELS I CAN'T HANDLE IT

Probably just a special project name for the main people behind the concept, the same way that Madoka has the concept credited to the "Magica Quartet" team (which is Shinbo+Urobuchi+Ume+Iwakami).
It's a romanisation of イクニチャウダー (i-ku-ni-cha-u-daa), which is the name credited to "Original Work" for the show. I thought it was normally romanised as Ikuni Chowder.
I'm speculating, but I think it's basically like BE-PAPAS, but I don't know if it's supposed to include Lily Hoshino, Kei Takahashi (the novel author) etc. or it's just another cute name for Ikuni himself.
Its worth it for the durability and more episodes per disc.
Most people not buying blu-ray for those reason though.. and fuck anyone that putting too much episode in disc and sacrificing quality.
Not everyone is as gleefully spendthrift as some.
Besides, this is yet another Ikuhara work that has been abused on localization. It's tiresome at this point.
Yeah, I kinda figured that was the case. Thanks for the info!

Another good episode, though hopefully they won't drag the whole thing too much (i'm talking about the guy origin and appearance, i think everyone already figured who s/he is.)
A shame about the bad episodes on the first half, really. The animu is turning out to be great.

Yeah, 1080i is only 540 lines per field. In theory, though, you should still get every detail present in the original 1080p source, since every frame of the original 24fps footage should have at least two fields dedicated to it. But that's only in theory, and in execution the screens posted show it's a botch job with atrocious encoding(which should also in theory be the other huge advantage of bluray).
Poor Komano-kun is useless.
I don't see any such review.

It's forthcoming. He's watching it now.
Well, I said bobbed 1080i not native 1080i. Very few people if anyone will be watching it on a 1080i CRT so a deinterlacing algorithm is likely getting involved somewhere even if it shouldn't.
I'm curious how you reached that conclusion, but I'll keep an eye out for the review either way.
That's true, but unless you have a really bad deinterlacer it should still display all the original pixels, just with deinterlacing artifacts added.
Well, at least it's still probably better than the Haibane Renmei bluray.
Aw damn. then I cant listen to it. I have to work.
If it's line doubling then the field lines are made to occupy the same screen positions, preventing them from being perceived as different.

I don't really care either way, but the way the pilot introduced fairy land and books and all that crap made it seem like that was the "gimmick" of the show. I just wondering if they meant that more as a character premise than a series premise... since in the end, they just made Miyuki obsessed with books and didn't bother after that.
Are you just watching Gintama at this point?
Anyway, I'm sure the series makes enough money that they could One Piece this sucker if they had to... lol
Twitter, I assume. I bet they're #bestfriends!
Would be funny when the C-players got the game.

Well I'm just following the chain here. On the ANN SuperNerd episode Zac said that he was going to review Blood C because of the Colony Drop blog post about the subject which came about because duckroll bothered Dave into reviewing it.
I see, thanks.
Well, that's why line doubling wouldn't be a very good deinterlacing method in this case.
I would hope most displays are capable of inverse-telecine these days.
No, substandard quality is never acceptable at any price.

duckroll has certainly helped to spread the good word far and wide.
Won't argue that. I like Kawagoe a lot but he's forever a poor man's Imagawa.

For the info what happenned in that case ?
Japanese Ghibli releases
Most Bandai Visual stuff
Apparently its a terrible upscale or something.
The best Mazinkaiser property was the remake of the old Mazinger Z vs the General of Darkness movie as it treats the Mazinkaiser appropriately and holds its appearance off until the end as it really is the most powerful robot around. Just a bit of globetrotting to get Kouji home alive to it otherwise the world is going to end. This is in contrast to the old movie where
he gets absolutely wrecked and Great Mazinger has to step in.

rofl .. what's the point of upscales in blu-rays ??
( not trying anything here ) but upscales are nice on their own but not when you do commercial releases.
is it just lazyness ? incompetence ? or did they lose the source material and couldn't reencode or rework the scenes ?
The people who don't know video like it better, and the people who do know video sigh and put up with it 'cause at least it's not bitrate-starved and possibly interlaced anymore.
Edit: Or do you just mean the whole 720p/1080i/1080p mess? Because that will take a whole long post and some double-checking of what I can say.
As far as anime goes, a lot of the time the assets - at least in a fully composited form - are not in a higher resolution than what was standard broadcast resolution at the time they were made. The amount of work it'd take to recomposite the entire series, presuming it is even possible, would likely cost far more than they'd likely be able to recoup through sales.
