I will have to say that seeing an anime on Blue Ray is a WAYYYY different experience than DVD. The quality difference is astounding. It's like night and day. It's like watching the cells being drawn in real time before you. AND! With the advent of new computer graphics, they can make different visual expressions that don't happen in the natural world.
I've been wanting to see the series D.Grey-Man. The first season was released on DVD and Blu Ray. I have been on the fence about which one I wanted. I don't have a Netflix account, so I can't just see it without buying it. Plus, our area basically just has DVD vending machines and mainstream video stores. In short, i have to buy it. The DVDs come in a complete first season and the Blu Ray is split between season one part A and B. The cost is about $10 or $20 difference. Most people would think, "Get the DVDs, they're just as good for cheaper," right?
Oh, ho ho noooooooo!
I am most definitely convinced that I want the Blu Ray version of this. I saw the teaser trailer on the Eva movie and it was AWESOME! I've read the manga and I think I want to go for this series.
The only problem with Blu Rey is the limited anime selection. It's pretty cool that all the new series are coming out in Blu Ray. When I look at the milestone anime series, they're all on DVD. And I think to myself, "Dang! I won't get any better resolution out of those." But then again, they'd have to recapture the original cells with higher resolution for Blu Ray. The Eva movie was the only anime based on an older series that I know that recaptured original animation and re-did key scenes building on the original cells with new animation.
But then again... The Wife and I made a pact to not re-buy any DVDs that we already have. She did make an exception for Cowboy Bebop.
If any on you loyal fans have any opinions about the DVD Blu Ray Battle, please leave them in the comments!
