Thank you kindly. This is some pretty nice news.

>QUALITY in HD
Awesome. Really.
Blade is a series that needs more love.
While I do love Tekkaman Blade... the series animation does not hold up well enough for an "HD" release, unless they go an reanimate the entire thing.
...I mean, if we get an english release, I will of course buy it... But still...
>>13522895
To be fair, the animation picks a LOT after the early episodes, even if it's not amazing by any means
>animation errors in 1080p
That's gonna be distracting.
>>13522899
Yeah, I think people overstate the QUALITY a bit. It's there to be sure, but between the amount of ordinary tier TV animation, and the times when the visuals do get great, and the in moments in between those levels, QUALITY isn't a dominant constant.
I eagerly await my HD Sol Tekkaman Overlords.
>>13522899
Oh believe me, I have the DVDs and watch the series probably once a year.
Doesn't mean it's still very dated, besides the obvious fact of them constantly using different animation studios between episodes.
...I just kind of wish they would reanimate the whole thing. keep all the music and voice acting... Just reanimate it and call it a reboot.
>>13522802
I thought they lost the original masters? Hence the DVDs looking like shit.

>Yeah, I think people overstate the QUALITY a bit
Because it's just a stupid meme spouted by idiots on /m/. Same thing with Wing and X. Blade had above average animation if anything.
>>13522808
I knew that if I was merely patient, this day would come.
>a newly-recorded interview footage with Toshiyuki Morikawa (D-Boy/Takaya Aiba/Tekkaman Blade) is also included in the Disc 8.
I swear to god, I don't even care if it's subbed, but someone better rip that
>>13522895
I bet it's not worse than 1969 Cyborg 009.
>>13522802
>Tekkaman Blade BDs
You cannot FATHOM how much I want this.
>>13522802
Can we get a BD for this as well?
>>13524837
>Blade had above average animation if anything.
Reminder that /m/ doesn't know shit about animation
>>13524837
I think you need to go back and rewatch Blade. The show in the first 20 episodes suffers from constant stock footage, QUALITY shots, and sometimes outright entire scenes being reused.
>>13522802
The time has come and so I have
>Blade BDs
Aw yiss, I can finally retire my DVD boxset with the weirdly curved spine.
>>13522802
OHH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
OHH NOOOOOOOOOWOAAAAAAAH

This
I care about this
For christ's sake, give me this, because the rips we have are fucking awful, we're probably never going to get rips of the R2 set, and which wouldn't matter anyway because it is very likely just as low-quality as the R1 releaseFuck
