>Azumanga BD release comes out in about a month
Finally, fucking 10+ years after it became a common demand, it's happening.
This show is required viewing for anyone who considers themselves proper /a/nons by the way.
Nothing is a required viewing to be a proper /a/non.
>>143103803
This.
>>143103748
Are they confirmed to not be ugly upscales?
>>143103748

>This show is required viewing for anyone who considers themselves proper /a/nons by the way.
I like it but that's just retarded
>>143103748
I'll rewatch it if they fixed the pacing of all the jokes so they're actually funny now.
>>143103995
Well meme'd
>>143103803
There are some series where you ought to fucking know they were huge on /a/ and/or generally considered cornerstones of the board's roots. Azumanga is still ridiculously, embarrassingly better than easily 90% of all now comedy/SoL of the past 15 years and it makes me shudder to think some newfags think of shows like Kinmoza as adequate if not good without knowing how fucking outclassed most of these shows are by the true progenitor of the trend.
>>143104256
>you ought to fucking know they were huge on /a/
Not the same thing.
Knowing board culture is generally accepted to be a requirement, as demonstrated in our board motto "lurk more".

Yeah. Nah. Gonna wait for a torrent.
>>143103748
>Show came out in 2002
So it's either an upscale or an upscale, no thanks.
any screenshots of quality yet? is it going to be more smudged upscale shit?
I'll buy it if it contains an animated version of Supplementary Lessons.
>>143104938
July for Japan so I'm going to assume September for America?
I run an anime club in my community and I am showing everybody Azumanga Daioh and it's going very well. With people aged 15 to mid 20s coming in to chill and shoot shit with everyone, this show has really managed to be entertaining for everybody which is surprising.
>>143105930
Considering it clearly wasn't recorded on film, and 99% of digital anime before 2007 was recorded at 480, what do you think?
>>143105930
>>143107100
Unsurprising. It's genuinely funny and its humor is broadly appealing.
>>143107156
Damn. That looks nice.
>>143107156
it looks fine >>143107151
>>143107809
>>143108248
That's actually a waifu2x upscale someone here did. I wouldn't expect the actual BD to look that nice.
>This show is required viewing for anyone who considers themselves proper /a/nons
But it wasn't even funny, why would it be required?
>>143103748
The manga is superior and Azuma already released a "redrawn" 3 volume complete set (新装版) to replace the original 4 tanks, around 2009. If anything is required anything, it's the source material. If you don't have the redone release or the original tanks, import them asap.
>>143108893
Because to be a proper /a/non you have to have decent taste.
>>143109417
Are the redrawn volumes translated? Or are we fucked outside of the Omnibus?
>>143109537
>Or are we fucked
You're fucked is you are that much of a fucking pleb that in all these years you never bothered to learn the language. Jesus fucking christ, is this /a/ or MAL? How many years now have you been consuming large amount of Japanese media?
I don't know if the redrawn versions have been butchered by translators or not, but it shouldn't even be fucking relevant.
>>143109704
>being this mad that people don't want to learn your dead language
Who is best Azumanga and why is it Kagura?
>>143110095
Except that's not Sakaki.
>>143107100
Do you host this at your house or a rec center or something? I've always wanted to do something like this, but I'm not comfortable about having a bunch of strangers in my house.
>>143105108

Yeah nah, fuck off. Read the manga
>buying Animu
I just wait for a torrent release also waiting for a fandub in my country to release it
>>143103748
After more than a decade later, no slice of life comedy could still come even close to Azumanga.
>>143103748
>Buy overpriced CDs for a 10+ year old series
No thank you.
>>143110324
There's plenty better.
>>143110388
>he does not even know the difference between CD, DVD, Bluray
>thinks his opinion is relevant
>>143110388
>There's plenty better.
Let me guess, the top ones on your list are A-channel and Acchi Kocchi.
Well, that's nice, but it'll probably look like shit. Anime from the early-mid 2000's does not look good.
Nice excuse for a rewatch though.
>>143109417
Where can I buy these. can only find the originals
>>143110665
You can probably grab them cheap on Mandarake. That's where I got mine.
>>143109417
"Remake" is my favorite chapter.

Azumanga cofirmed for doing 9/11
>>143110936
Is this the one where Chiyo gets a knife to the throat?
>>143111078
Yes.
I think it's odd that we don't have any sort of packaging mock up for this with it coming out so soon.
>>143111078
Now Im curious
>>143110518
K-on has better animation, cuter girls, and I don't need to worry about a sexual predator trying to molest my waifu when I'm not around. You're entitled to your opinion, but if it's different from mine then it's wrong.

The opposite is true, everything I said was right. Deep down, you know it so I don't know why you're trying to be obstinate about it.
>>143104938
>only $200 for the full series
Wow, that's a lot cheaper than I thought it would be. I think Kara no Kyoukai was like $700 and TTGL $500?
>>143111732
i saw the yawara bds were like over 2k usd for 3 boxes

Did they upscale each frame separately or something?

Ha, I remember that.Mainly the massive perpetually-running /azu/ RP threads, though they were actually pretty entertaining in a stupid way. Don't remember much about them, though.
Do you think they fucked off-screen?

>>143115966
Nichijou is funny, but it's more surreal than AzuDa.
>>143116041
It's also the most well-animated series of all-time.

Don't you know the difference between animation and art style?
>>143116347
>>143116380
Is it such a foreign concept to you that something might work differently in different mediums?
>>143119571
No, it isn't.
It's "Watch what you want. There is no required watch list".
>>143105809
Why can't more companies just do the SDonBD thing so that things don't have to permanently look like shit because of lazy upscaling?
>>143120751
There's a list of shows that will immediately out you as an ignorant newfag if you're unfamiliar with however, Azumanga is one of them.
>>143120965
Being unfamiliar with something is not the same as not having watched it.
>There's a list of shows
No, there's a board culture that you should be aware of. And I count AzuManga Daioh to that. You don't need to have a perfect understanding of everything, just like you don't need to participate in every thread. But you should be able to recognize it and what it means.
>>143109417
The redrawn version is so fucking bland.
Azuma could have at least drawn some backgrounds to make up for all the style he stripped from the characters.
Daily reminder that Yomi is tied with Sakaki for best girl
>>143121275
>yomi
Also damn, I think all my gifs for this show are ant-size by modern standards. Sasuga 56k
>>143121792
Don't forget the 1MB maximum file size of the early days.
>>143122089
What's so important about that?
Or did you mean to quote the girl complaining about the size of the old gifs?
>>143122134
The ending is the one thing that the anime has over the manga in my opinion.
>>143103803
azumanga is required viewing much like yotsuba is required reading. if you haven't experienced both of these you are subhuman trash and dont belong here.

>BD release of a SD digital anime
Why are you excited again?
>>143130033
Depending on a few factors, a BD release could mean a slightly higher quality picture due to better encoding and a better source master.
Basically, the master version of the show might have been slightly compressed in one way or another to fit on DVD, and BD could allow it in the best quality it can be. Yes, it will never be 1080p level of detail, but it could look better/cleaner/etc than previous DVDs.
>>143130153
Pretty much this, unless they go full retared with crappy upscaling algorithm, which unfortunately is often the case.
>>143130153
That would be the ideal scenario but 99% of these BD releases are QTEC'd like pic related.
>>143130217
I don't know too much about encoding and all that, but what sort of issues would bad upscaling do? Does it make things pixelated?
>>143103748
I'll rewatch it I suppose - I never much liked it.
