If this does indeed have the digital, I'm in. Just preordered on Amazon. Crazy deal regardless for the amount of content in the collection.
Remember the concerns about color timing? Batmobile too blue, etc.
I think that was probably the projector at Comicon.

at $90 this is a steal. Guys lock in that price, it's worth it.
Incredible. I knew WBA wasn't going to let me down.

You'd be surprised how many people on YouTube are saying the old transfers look better.
I've got all of the old DVD sets and have always hated their picture quality. They weren't made from a fresh telecine or scan, they were made from Betacam SP 480i analog broadcast masters. Ugh.
Vudu/UV.
MA is just for movies. My Samurai Jack episodes don't show up on my linked services.
What? BOOO!
But wasn't the Samurai Jack collection before MA officially kicked off? Actually looks like a week after.
I haven't gotten a TV series on disc that was WB since the launch, so really don't know. That sucks if true, because I am all on iTunes and WB going to Movies Anywhere has been great.
EDIT: Looked at the back of recent WB/CW shows on disc. Explicitly says "Does not include iTunes files." DAMMIT, WB!
:D awesome!
If I didn't already promise the digital copies to my brother if WB ended up including them in the release, I definitely would have done a giveaway.
Bahhhhhhhh. That makes it so much more difficult to watch on my TV haha
I'm in Canada, so Vudu isn't a thing unfortunately. Ultraviolet is, but I don't know if there's an Apple TV app for that.
MoviesAnywhere is just for movies. TV shows are usually Ultraviolet, which means it's limited to Vudu and maybe Fandango.
Well that sucks.
It also sucks the series has been really cheap on iTunes many times recently and tempted me, but I wasn't sure if they would do the HD upgrade to it when it launches
I think it's because it was interlaced instead of progressive.
Because they were too lazy to ivtc/deinterlace the interlaced SD source.
Does anyone else prefer the darker look of the original? It gave it a noir feeling.
OP

I feel exactly the same.
It all looks too bright, the buildings which were black now look blue. The orange sky in the opening is now red.
I CANNOT WAIT.
One of my favorite series, second only to Cowboy Bebop. So much money I'm spending in October and I don't care. LOL

Thank god I'm not the only one. Is there a reason they brighten these things up? I noticed the same thing in the blu-ray remaster of I Married A Witch.
It's not that they brightened it up. The source was complete shit.
holy smokes that is an amazing restoration.
might have to pick this up to add to the collection, plus my son is turning 4 and he's starting to get into all the marvel and dc characters.
Look at that shot of the two silhouettes fighting on the roof, yes, the building isn't black anymore, but where did those windows come from? They were there all the time, but were obscured by the old master. And red skies instead of orange lines up with the production art:
I should mention though that this image isn't a 100% accurate representation. I have the book this is taken from and the whole image is a good deal darker and more saturated in it, so whoever scanned it messed up a bit. But the sky is clearly red in it.

No they weren't. If you look at some of the original production cells, you can see just how detailed and colorful the show was supposed to look but never could until now.
It was a no brainer for me at $120. Now that it's sub $100 and comes with a digital copy, you'd be a fool not to iosefe and we both know...you're no fool.
Original production cels. The DVDs and broadcast masters are utter trash, the original art is much more vibrant and colorful.

Damn, I had no clue.
Just for the heck of it some crops from Mask of the Phantasm. IMO the DVD of this was a better transfer than the TV episodes were. The MPEG artifacts were gnarly though.

OK a couple of original Batmobile cels for color reference and I'm done I promise.
Blu-ray on right yes.
Blu-ray on right yes.
All of the HD remastered animated shows I've seen have the HD versions brighter than the originals.
This is beautiful. Also I thought 100 dollars was a fair price, 87 is insane for what's being offered. That's about 80 cents an episode, without mentioned the movies, and the physical swag. I am so pumped for this!
