 Come on! It's Anime on Blu-ray... October 16, 2009

And not just any old anime, but one of the recent classics of anime to boot! You need to watch the first season for the character building, and if you love the characters after that. There's a series set in on the silly side of the arch called 'Fumufu'(sp) that's hilarious.
The stories not done, but sadly. Japanese public interest isn't here to continue the show and so this final season is a great way to bid farewell to those great characters.
Outstanding Blu-ray Anime Series! October 1, 2009

Kaname Chidori, Captain Testarossa(Tessa) and Sousuke Sagara are in their 3rd adventure in this fantastic Full Metal Panic TSR Blu-ray set. It's amazing, has a lot of war, great action, and suspence. This is a great sequel to the Full Metal Panic Franchise. It looks so real with crystal clear picture and sound. A lot better than the DVDs. I know that some people aren't satisfied about this set because the lack of animation from the opening. But I guarantee for those who have a 42" LCD HDTV or bigger(no plasma) center ALL your color settings(leave it on 1080p). Then you'll get better HD quality while you're watching the series. Overall this is one of the best anime blu-ray sets ever sold. This is definately worth buying.
 Unbelievable August 27, 2009

I was thinking blu-ray could have been an international product.
But no.
Instead of that, we see a lot of multiple blu-ray all over the planet.
And finally, the best animes on Earth will be only region A.
I'm in rage.
They always plain of piracy but it's normal they take customers for sheeps and give us products with plenty of defaults.
Laughable products and laughable industry.
In addition to being upscaled from SD, the opening animation is not encoded properly and frames are dropped. August 25, 2009

While it still looks good (much better than the highly compressed DVDs that have tons of blocking artifacts), this show was originally animated in SD resolution and was upscaled for Blu-ray (it's still worth buying if you don't already have the DVDs or are bothered by their compression artifacts).
What's more, it was encoded at 1080p24 despite the opening animation being animated at 30 frames per second. This means that while the main show animation is fine, the opening appears choppy on Blu-ray compared to the DVDs. The movement is not as smooth since frames are missing.
Since 1080p30 is not supported by Blu-ray, the opening would need to be encoded at 1080i in order to show all 30 of the frames per second. Since it's not possible to have the opening at 1080i and the rest of the show at 1080p, they could either encode all of the show at 1080i (like the Japanese Blu-ray release), or encode the show at 1080p while encoding the creditless opening in the extras at 1080i. I would personally prefer the latter, but I would be satisfied with either solution.
