Gundam 00 Second Season Blu-ray vs DTV

gundam-00-bluray-vs-dtv.jpg

The Blu-ray and terrestrial digital broadcast editions of the second season of sensitive martial robot anime Gundam 00 are compared in the above image. The differences are subtle, but certainly far from invisible…

The huge high resolution PNG image for those with eyes like microscopes.

Gundam being what it is, erotic enhancements are few and far between.

It seems when presented with such images, observers naturally separate into the “can’t tell and don’t care” and “can tell and almost care enough to actually but the BD” camps.

Opinion, eyesight, taste and viewing environment all seem to play a role in this…

Poll unavailable.

Horo makes a much more interesting subject for comparison than a giant robot…

    It's way too easy to tell even with the preview.
    But I don't care, since I don't even watch the damn thing XD.
    How such difference in video quality will affect my eventual impression of the show if I ever decide to watch it is probably beyond me. Normally after 20 minutes into a show I tend to forget about that difference.

    I would pick up the blu-ray if it came to the US but due to Bandai being retards we only get DVDs.

    The translucency of the particles in the Blu-ray version is much more clear and really adds a luminescent feel to it. It does look better then the large glowing blob on the DTV version.

    They are also more finely detailed and articulated.

    it's like adjusting the brightness control of your TV screen.

    Quite a difference, it's like the blu-ray is the original and the other one was resized smaller and then back to original size.. getting blurry in the process.
    Then again, that might be exactly what's going on if the broadcast wasn't 720p HD :P

    Its visible when you look at the GN particles, everything else is VERY subtle tho.

    I can tell, but the only difference I care for are the green.. whatever the green stuff on screen may be. But the image on the bottom don't hurt my eyes, while the image on top certainly does (when enlarged on full size).

    I can tell and I do care (sort of). I like my media in high definition, if I can get it that way of course. Anyone who can't tell the difference in the picture above may need LASIK.

    Or a better monitor...either/or it's debatable.

    While I agree BD is best, I must also say that it's not worth it till the price goes down on everything BD. Also, with my torrents, some people seem to gloss over the fact that a series that has encodings of 170~ MB fit 26 eps onto one DVD, which is enough of a plus to me to stay SD. Long story short, can tell, don't care.

    I can tell and I don't really care...

    The easier change for you to see are the green sparkles are sharper from one image to the next.

    Mmm... delicious color clarity and line sharpness. It's all about Gundam on Blu-Ray. To me, that comparison image looks like night and day.

    This is like watching an original picture next to a compressed version, of course you want the original.

    bah! the only way you could tell is to buy the blu-ray disc and player(if you don't have one)and compare it side by side to your two flat LCD screen TV. thus resulting into a nice marketing plan!

    i voted "I can tell and I don't care." but only because i don't care about gundam, and not about image quality...
