So, anyone plan on getting the Basilisk or Samurai Champloo series on BluRay coming out Dec. 15? They both were great series but I haven't decided if I'm still into anime enough to watch through either of them again. They sure will look nice though. |

I don't know about Basilisk, but Samurai Champloo is just an upscale that went through several DNR filters. Some screen shots: http://www.asianblurayguide.com/news/453/s...dvd_comparison/ |

i may end up getting Basilisk. i had bought that collectors wooden box with limited edition volumes as they were coming out but i only got up to volume three. debating if i should just buy the remaining three dvds or buy the cheap viridian box set or buy the bluray. havent decided yet. as far as samurai champloo goes....i dont think it's worth an upgrade. not just cause the quality of the video as sneakerpimp pointed out...but just because i dont think the show is worth it. |

Samurai Champloo is an awesome show. I've been wanting the blu set for a while...even if it's just upscaled. |

I never got the Samurai Champloo DVD box set due to the price, but I will grab the Blu-rays. What prices are you guys seeing? Anything beter than $45? |

Amazon.com has preorder of Basilisk for $38.99. with free shipping. Very tempting. I'm with Jinha on Basilisk over Samurai Champloo..I liked both, but Basilisk was darker and more mature, so for me it left a bigger impact. |

I'm getting the Champloo discs. Even though the ending theme was awesome, I hated to hear it because it meant the end of an episode. To me that's a pretty good indicator of my feelings while watching it. |

I loved Samurai Champloo. The baseball episode is one of my favorites. You gotta see it. I hope they give Cowboy Bebop the full HD treatment and not just an upscale. |

Yeah I go more towards Champloo as well. I got the 4 CD soundtrack. Love love love the music direction. Nujabes, Fat Jon, etc. Cowboy Bebop would be dope. But that was originaly made in 4:3 wasnt it? It would be hard for me to wrap my head around a BLu-ray in 4:3. I may stick with my DVD Remix box set. I'll take a Blu-Ray of Knockin' on Heaven's Door though. No anime has topped Cowboy Bebop & GITS for me yet. |

Nothing has topped Cowboy Bebop for me yet either. If it was in 4:3 then I guess that would be different. That means we'll get the boxed in look (black bars on the left and right). Unless they somehow manage to stretch it to fit the screen. Knockin on Heaven's Door would be sweet...it's out in Japan, but you know the deal with the prices and all. |

Finally.... anime isnt as pricy as it used to be (american and european packs) ! Champloo is awesome but i still havent got a blu ray player :ph43r: It's a shame its only a upscale version of the dvds...but i think we will see a lot of that in the future regarding anime. |
