    100% this

    I like it. Good move. They're releasing each story arc together.
  3. Duke Togo
    That's stupid.
  4. Duke Togo
    Well, that certainly was a choice.
  5. Duke Togo
    Actually, he says the 2007 DVD is the best release. Which has me wanting to check it out.
  6. Duke Togo
    Thanks for your input. So, the other PCM track is only 2.0? Not sure where I got the 3.1 from. I'll be checking out the mono track on my next watch, then.
  7. Duke Togo
    For sure, and there have certainly been changes to the color grading over the years. My main point has been that the 4K release is so wildly different than anything that came before. Back to the audio, I'm going to give the 3.1 PCM mix a listen soon. See if I can pick up on the reported distortions in the audio.
  8. Duke Togo
    Do your observations about the PCM apply to both the mono and 3.1 tracks?
  9. Duke Togo
    I think the change between the new release and past releases is pretty obvious in the pictures you posted. And it's not the HDR. That said, I really need to stop beating a dead horse here. There disc is out (and yes, I own it), and what we got is not going to magically change.

    This is my biggest complaint with the 4K release: the color change. This movie has looked one way since the day each cel was put on film 40 years ago. I do not like that they've changed that. At all.
  11. Duke Togo
    That's my understanding as well.
  12. Duke Togo
    And it says it right on the packaging, which I totally missed. Silly me.

    My 4K player displays the DTS stream as being HD-MA, which means it's lossless. No compression.
  14. Duke Togo
    Linear PCM is uncompressed audio, while the DTS is compressed.
  15. Duke Togo
    Multiple versions? There's only one cut I am aware of, unless you mean one without the Angel's Paints coda and one with.
  16. Duke Togo
    Ooof, no. This thing was finished in SD. The HD upscale is not great; I can't imagine how bad a 4K upscale would look.
  17. Duke Togo
    I've watched the entire series twice in the past 20-something years and I definitely do not like it at all, lol.
  18. Duke Togo
    I thought Prime only did HDR10+ and not Dolby Vision? I'd have to look into that.
  19. Duke Togo
    Yeah, that's not how things work. You're actually borking your colors by letting Roku display everything in Dolby Vision mode. Dolby Vision should only be used if the content you're watching is encoded with it. You can't force/convert it. It'll only screw up your colors.

    I'm actually ok with fixing animation/coloring errors. I'm also ok with cleaning up FX shots in live-action films. But I'm not ok with removing natural film grain inherent to the negative, and I generally have issues with entirely new color gradings, especially if they dramatically alter the look of the film.
  21. Duke Togo
    100% this.
  22. Duke Togo
    Most fan-AI upscale content I've seen out there has had its fair share of issues. Really not that great. I'd rather watch the original HD.

    It always annoys me when they do that sorta thing with anime subtitles. So common. Who decided we couldn't handle characters referring to their family members by what the actual relation is?
  24. Duke Togo
    Don't hold your breath. Edit: it should also be noted that an 8K scan of the camera negative wouldn't produce a better image than the 5K. A film shot on 35mm doesn't benefit from it. There's simply not that level of information in the image. 70mm is another story, but it's not widely used.
  25. Duke Togo
    Oh yes, I see it now
