It's flabbergasting how studios have not transitioned their standard definition shows into SD-BD formats. The obvious advantages from manufacturing less discs to making the shows nearly HD in appearance makes it a no-brainer. Imagine getting something like TMNT 1987 & 2003 on SD-BD's. It would make the lives of fans so much easier & preserve these shows better than DVDs ever could.

@zaranyzerak Год назад

It really is baffling, especially since I think it's safe to say by this point that DiscoTek has shown how much potential SD-BD truly has for content that doesn't have HD-ready masters available. We need to get out of the 90s with Physical media already, DVD is literally two generations old now!

The idea that no one has the desire to remaster classic 25-year old cartoons or releasing them on Blu-Ray are absurd. Warner Bros has done a great job with remastering the Batman and Superman animated shows from the 90s for Blu-Ray, even with some of the original masters from Batman Beyond no longer accessible.

@HalozillaEX Год назад

Thanks for filming this video and uploading it when you did! i just canceled my order for the NCircle set. I might have put up with the barebones nature of this release, but if the video quality is negatively affected because they crammed all of the episodes on 2 discs? Hell no. At that point, I'd rather download the episodes online and burn them to blank dvds. At least then I could put the pilot episode at the beginning (like its supposed to be) and I wouldnt be giving money to a company that clearly doesnt care about putting out a worthwhile product.

It really sucks that a 30th anniversary re-release of a beloved show gets disrespected like this. I tried my best to convince Ncircle to at least consider blu-ray but theyre so arrogant in their reserved ways my advice probably got ignored. Its a shame cause every Sonic cartoon has gotten a blu-ray except SatAM and Sonic Undeground. I guess Sega or these companies ar biased against anything associated with SatAM cause even Archie comics gets ignored despite its long ass history.

@zaranyzerak Год назад

Yeah, the responses you got from that guy really shed a lot of light on just how out of touch some of these companies are. I'm sure I speak for everyone in saying we appreciate your efforts in at least trying to get them to see sense! And you were a lot more civil about it than I probably would have been lol. The Archie comics situation is complicated and just plain depressing. Over 25 years of comics locked away forever because of Ken Penders' ego trip lawsuit (google it if you don't know the whole story). Sadly we'll likely never see new compilations of those because of that mess. At least IDW had been doing a great job picking up the ball after they dropped it. Thanks again for posting those responses for everyone to see, it wasn't what any of us wanted to hear but it shed a lot of light on why releases like these are so lackluster.

@jeremyriley1238 11 месяцев назад

@@jeremyriley1238As a former Sonic fan, I know that the Freedom Fighters weren’t owned by Archie. SEGA does own the rights to the Freedom Fighters, however they don’t want to use them due to their disdain towards the Archie redesigns.

@larrylaffer3246 Год назад

The only thing I can really say in the matter about why some media manufacturers still want to use DVD's heavily over Blu-Ray is that; They're cheap to make, and they're a format that has ridiculously wide adoption. I totally agree more people should do the Diskotech thing, but the nature of the beast is this: DVD's are just too dime-a-dozen to be gotten rid of anytime soon. It outlasted it's 2 replacements and it even somehow survived in the streaming age. Something that clearly should've killed it off, much like how VHS killed Betamax or Compact Cassette killed 8-Track.

Feels crappy. And it's right to be ticked off about it.

@SuperCosmicMutantSquid Год назад

I bought the original series set second hand. Someone had signed it (the cursive is so tight I don't know who's name it is) but I was 100% satisfied because I got a fun series back. Plus a friend I knew had her art put on one of the jacket covers so I was happy to get that. Sad to see this looking so bad but the rerelease of the Super Mario Super Show was also lacking. I have a lot of the early Shout series release so it's amazing how those did so little when 10-15 years ago we got so much with the Shout Factory releases. Edit:....uh...did this Chris guy not see that even Blu-Ray is going down in price? You can still press a nice br set with some decent features and have it be a reasonable price so wtf? Hell, FANS are doing upscaling themselves on their own time for free so to say it's impossible is complete bs. They're missing out on a big cash ticket for series like this and here's the best part. Older fans INTRODUCE the younger gens to these series so having them in the best quality would be nice.

After the program's initial run, it appeared on the USA Network's Action Extreme Team block from June 1997 to January 1998. ABC did not replicate this, replacing Sonic with reruns of Free Willy. In September 2003, DIC revealed a new international package consisting of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog and the Sonic Christmas Blast special, titled "Totally Sonic!". The package would also feature never-before seen episodes, digitally re-mastered, color-enhanced versions of the shows with new contemporary music, as well as bonus director's cut "Secret Sonic" episodes. The package will also include Secret, new director's cut Secret Sonic episodes. The release of the Totally Sonic! package coincides with the new Sonic the Hedgehog video game, Sonic Heroes from Sega. It was supposed to be airing in local syndication as part of their DiC Kids' Network and international buyers in all major languages.

Physical media is not dead yet and likely will not die soon. I can still purchase a myriad of options of DVD and Blu-ray players, and stores still carry hundreds of DVD and Blu-ray options, especially Best Buys. As an addendum-all mediums technically require some degree of physicality. With this in mind, anyone with enough intelligence and the means and resources to do so could preserve digital media in their own physical forms. And it is not as difficult as it sounds. You could theoretically stream to a device and record the data direct from stream and then decompress and decrypt it as a means of making your own media. And for reference, this is permitted under the principles of timeshifting. (Recording media for later watching with any method of recording, traditionally VHS), so long as you do not attempt to profit off of it illicitly.

Oh, did you never find Yoshi in Super Mario Bros 3? I loved playing with Yoshi in Super Mario Bros 3! Yoshi was my favorite part of Super Mario Bros 3! :P (I'm joking if anyone out there doesn't get it) Ugh. Some of their package art decisions are both baffling and lazy. It's like not only do they not care, they don't even know anything about the franchises they're tying up the rights to. So they split a single 13 episode season across two discs, but can't split a 26 episode season the same way? Wow. I mean, even if they had added ONE more disc to this set it would have made a huge difference. 8-9 episodes per disc would have been fine.

What’s sad is many popular HD-produced shows still get DVD-only releases. Bluey is a show with a massive following among both kids and adults. But it still gets only DVD releases, with no Blu-ray in sight. Despite being produced in 1080p. But even more adult shows get DVD-only releases. Fox’s New Girl, a TV-14 live action sitcom, only has a DVD release, despite being made in 1080p HD, but at least the entire series made it to DVD. And even more baffling is 13 Reasons Why, where only the first two seasons out of four got a physical release, and only on DVD despite being shot and made in 4K UHD, with Netflix streaming the series in 4K. I don’t even like 13 Reasons Why but it’s baffling they didn’t commit (no pun intended) to releasing the entire series on DVD, or maybe even Blu-ray. And the show is TV-MA, even when it’s also marketed to teenagers.

Not quite sure why they didn’t think of putting it in Blu-ray however ? But of course we would f****** want that!

The most baffling thing about all this is that NCircle released a Sonic Boom complete series steelbook last year, clearly meant for collectors. Granted, I don't recommend this set because it's a stacked disc nightmare, but still.

@zaranyzerak Год назад

They did indeed! I have the Sonic Boom set, and you're quite right - other than the stacked discs, it definitely had collectors in mind. I have most of the Sonic Boom releases leading up to that as well, planning to do a Closer Look at the whole works soon.

I know I’m late on the party, but why is it that companies like Discotek media can release Lupin the third part one on Blu-ray and that series came out in 1971-1972 but not only did they give it an HD remaster, but it also has special features like art galleries, extensive linear notes, essays, and episode commentaries plus an all new English dub from the 2000s cast. And the reason why they did that is because they want to cater to the fans. And they too respect the series/franchise.

@Morgil27 Месяц назад

Another really good SD bluray that came out recently that I really enjoyed was Sonic X. Granted, it was odd that they put out two seperate sets, one for the dub and one for the original Japanese version, but the dub sucks anyway, so I just bought the Japanese version. But any, the point still stands that it was a pretty solid set, tons of episodes per disc in decent quality, good quality subtitle translations, and plenty of bonus features. EDIT: I just pulled the box for that Sonic X set off my shelf, and apparently that was also Discotek. I guess they really are the ones to go to for quality SD bluray content.

This was suggested to me, I expected nitpicking but fitting a whole show in 2 DVDs is guaranteed to result in a pixelated mess indeed.

I have not, mainly because there's apparently a ton of issues with the picture quality on the 2003 set, and I refuse to buy 2012, a full HD show, on DVD. If they put it out on Blu-ray, I'll snap it up for sure though. I need to look into the 2003 set more, I just know I've heard bad things about it. Might grab it on the cheap just to have the episodes I don't already have on the old sets.

Yep, I have some of the Delta Leisure Group releases, and they are fairly good.

@2001JamesTV 11 месяцев назад

We do actually have quite a lot of SD content released on Blu-Ray here in the UK... though for whatever reason it's always upscaled to HD rather than encoded as SD, which just feels like a complete waste of time and disc space, as while you do get higher quality than the DVDs, you obviously can't add definition that wasn't there to begin with and it means they don't take up any fewer discs than a regular DVD release would anyway. So even though we have cottoned on to there being advantages of SD content on Blu-Ray, unlike the US, we still can't do it entirely properly. I did buy an SD on Blu-Ray release of Rocko's Modern Life when I was in Germany several years back (as it had an English soundtrack), and there were quite a few SD on Blu titles over there so they've got the idea too, even though the US and UK clearly haven't. And I personally can't treat streaming at a replacement for physical media for two reasons- one being how often content vanishes from streaming, whereas I know my physical media is still going to be there when I want to watch something again, the other being that very few streaming services handle interlaced/videotaped content properly, encoding 50/60i material as 25/30p rather than 50/60p (the BBC iPlayer here in the UK is one of the very few streaming services that does actually encode at 50fps, so everything actually looks the same as it would on TV and physical media), so providing a visually inferior product to what it's replacing, and not letting us see the content the way it was intended.
