Comment on Ultra HD Anime on Japanese TV “By 2014″ by Anonymous:

2K is only very slightly higher resolution than standard 1920×1080 HD. And 4K doesn’t have to be on a large screen – stick to the same size screen and have smaller pixels. I hate to sound like a Mac fanboi (which I’m not), but the ultimate aim is to get the screen resolution comparable to that of the human eye, i.e. the “retina display”. A typical desktop monitor at 1080 isn’t a “retina display” by any means.

But the second point is that even if we get 4K anime, will we actually just be getting upscales? Right now, a lot of mainstream anime is made in 720 and then upscaled to 1080 for Blu-ray release. Moving to native 4K will multiply the storage and processor requirements of the studios by a factor of around 9. Yes, I know about Moore’s Law, but somebody still has to pay the upgrade bills.

  “You’d think they’d be more concerned about increasing the awful quality of their programming than the resolution.” Exactly this. Cartoons in that resolution is so unnecessary.

  Omg. Imagine compression not being invented yet. Only a couple of episodes would fit on a HDD. Anyway, we don’t really need higher resolution for anime and JAV. I’d rather see how well 3D anime would do instead. (Is there one yet?)

  This is the threat of those who consume child pornography, real or virtual. It is only a matter of time before a piece of human filth who enjoys watching underage sex acts decides to bring his fantasies to real-world fruition. While it’s true that many child pornography users never screw up the courage to attack a child, some of them do. This is why any rational person condemns the use, the downloading, the viewing, the possession of kiddie porn. Having child pornography under your roof, be it …
