>Monster is getting a BD release
Finally

overrated shit

No jpn CC? Kinda cringe

>>281372967
That's because it's being released in English you fucking retard.
If you want Japanese CC, buy it in Japan.

Too much filler, I gave up when they introduced the possibility of a split personality

Terrible reason. Everything here but Japanese shit is released with original acting/dub and the CC/subtitles to with it. For some reason Anime almost always lack this.

kool, time for rewatch

>>281373069
That's because Japan doesn't want reverse importing being done, so western releases are often gimped in some way for native viewers.
Less special features, worse packaging, region coded, shit like that.
Some releases are also forced to have the Japanese audio tied to the English subtitles as well. The only releases that achieve parity with the Japanese side are ones typically sold for equivalent prices (i.e., $120 for one cour) directly by the publisher.

um akschually it has 70 episodes therefore good

>>281372939 (OP)
I've been waiting so long. Day 1 preorder.

>>281372939 (OP)
Will it actually be 1080p or will it just be upscaled?

>>281375722
Someone in the ANN comments said they didn't think it had ever got remastered or an hd release so they were thinking upscale, but no one replied to confirm

>>281372964
fpbp

>>281372939 (OP)
It already has a blu-ray release though. germany got it. looks better than the dvds to my eye

Great. Can they get Tokyo Mew Mew next?

Master Keaton is next.

They still release physical media
why not just, you know, put it online so you can download it on your ssd

>>281375722
It's digitally animated so that's gonna be a shitty upscale.

>>281372964

If it doesn't have a native HD release (and I don't see one on Blu-Ray.com, unless it's streaming only) then I'd suspect an upscale - especially if Germany has it on BD and they've a history of shitty upscales. Though Discotek are usually upfront about this in their announcements, and they did say barely any work has begun - so perhaps it's only just getting restored in Japanese labs now and they nabbed the rights ahead of time

>>281379362
It wouldn't be the first time that they managed to do an HD release before Japan got one. That happened with Lupin III: The Legend of the Gold of Babylon and (IIRC) Kimagure Orange Road.

>>281379631
Yeah I guess it must happen on occasion, I've just heard that Japanese studios are usually super closed off to restorations being done abroad. Maybe the manga/show has a higher pull in international territories, given how Eurocentric it (and a share of Urasawa's work) is

>>281380048
Madhouse has always been a bit friendlier to western companies, and iirc allowed Discotek to do the restoration on A Wind Named Amnesia.

yes.... ima kono sekai de...

Monster? Yes so good.

They used to license the absolute nastiest CAT III schlock before pivoting to licensing mostly anime.
