The transfer is great.
Nice clear picture and good sound.
What I'm less thrilled about is the fact that the case came all cracked up and one of the DVD holders is also broken so the disk slides around inside.
I may still consider returning it to see if I can get one that isn't damaged.
Update: 2-16-2023:
I decided to return the first one.
Amazon was quick about shipping out a replacement. It arrived today.
And was just as broken as the first one. This one arrived in a too-large box without even a bag of air like the first one.
I managed to scavenge parts from both cases to put together one set that is at least serviceable, though still slightly cracked.
I'm sending back the more broken one.
If you don't want to read a rant you can stop now.
To be honest I think the blame should be distributed equally between Amazon (for barely even trying to protect these kinds of things) and the company who produced the cases. They're so thin and weak that just looking at them wrong causes them to break. I have DVD cases from 2003 that are far stronger and more resilient than these. They sell this to us on the premise that its "eco" friendly and I'm all about saving the planet... but when it takes 2 tries to get one product that is acceptable, including all the diesel and gas used to ship it around and the wasted time and money, then maybe just using an appropriate amount of plastic in the first place would be better?
This review will be less about the series itself, and more about the product. I bought this version of the box set more for the artbook than anything else.
So first off, is picture quality. If you owned the old Bandai Visual dvd's (as I do) the blu-ray release is a monumental improvement. Colors are much more vibrant, edges around characters are crisp, and all the details that may have been lost on the DVD release are quite prominent. Yes, it is formatted to its original 4:3 aspect ratio, but this isn't a bad thing. If you want an argument why, go watch some of the dragonball Z blu-rays from Funimation where they did jack it up to widescreen, and see how much has been cut off to reach this aspect ratio. It sucks; keeping a 4:3 ratio show in its original format is the way it should go. Short version: the picture is so vibrant it really makes it stand out, Funimation did a great job and if they read these, keep doing it; the quality is amazing.
Sound is essentially the same. It's got some mild improvement for 5.1 systems, but it's still technically 2.0 so you won't hear a massive improvement from the DVD release. Funimation didn't re-dub it, and I take it when it was recorded it wasn't recorded with 5.1 in mind, so they could only do so much on that front. Not a bad thing, as few shows of this era did much with 5.1.
The collector's edition box is pretty nice. It's about the same size as 3 DVD cases (width wise), so it won't take up much space. The box is pretty thick too, so it's not some flimsy case that'll rip. You might see a few scratches that look like the box is in poor shape, but it's actually the packaging cover - it fooled me too. The artbook, I think, is worth the investment. There's a broad range of turn arounds, facial expressions, and environment stills from production, not some b.s. 13 page booklet that's just taking marketing artwork you've seen a thousand times before.
The blu-ray menu is pretty bare bones, pick a language and episodes. It works for me, I don't need a fancy menu screen. Not many extras, just the standard affair of openings/endings without the credits, some of the original commercials; no interviews or anything like that. I did have some issue with the blu-rays (namely the first disc) where sometimes either the main menu would lock up and not let me choose any options, or an episode might skip the intro. The episodes still played 100%, but I don't know if those hiccups were the blu-rays or my blu-ray player itself; episodes still played fine after that so it wasn't a lemon.
Whether or not you buy the collector's edition or the regular edition is either how much money you have to spend or if you want the artbook/fancy box. I wanted the artbook more than the packaging, but the packaging is neat, so whichever version you choose it'll still be money well spent.
I remember people always called Outlaw Star a poor mans Cowboy Bebop, but I honestly am really enjoying this re-watch. The show is well paced, characters are fun, and the main story line is interesting. It might not have the same animation polish that Cowboy Bebop has, but this series is definitely charming in its own way.
There is the main story with Gene trying to figure out what to do with his life and the Galactic Layline, but every third episode or so, there is a random side mission that is just a one off trip the crew goes on. It helps keep the show fun and exciting.
I do have two issues with this release that keep me from giving this a perfect score:
1. There doesn't seem to be any closed caption option for the Dub. You have two "English" subtitle options, but one is merely used for signs and other written language so you can see what you are reading (since it is in Japanese). The other is the translation subtitle to be used with the Japanese language track, so it stays closer to the original Japanese script. It doesn't use the same dialog cues and exact wording as the English language track. It is surprisingly close most of the time, but still not a true closed captions for the hard of hearing.
2. I had a hard time playing a copy episodes on Blu Ray disc 3.. Luckily the DVDs that came with the package have been playing back fine so far, but it is a bit of a bummer to go from HD to SD for a few episodes.
Overall, I would recommend this to fans that grew up on Toonami re runs. Very cool to be able to re visit an old classic. Although, if you have the extra $20, I would grab the collectors edition. Kind of wish I did.
