Alright, let's take a look at how the new Future Boy Conan Blu-Ray Memorial Box compares to the standard DVD release. The new high-definition transfer is taken from the original 35mm camera negative, and Bandai have spared no expense in restoring Conan to its original glory. Hayao Miyazaki's 1978 masterpiece has never looked so good.
As always, colors are richer and more luminous in Blu-Ray. Details are sharp and clear, and you can appreciate the artists' brushstrokes (now there's something I sorely miss in animation). What's most striking is how much brighter everything now appears. I hadn't realized how needlessly dark Conan appeared on DVD. I don't think most anime fans realize just how good these classic series truly look. It's going to be a revelation for everyone, and if you're in charge of your local anime club, I highly recommending pooling your money together for the Conan set.
More screenshots will appear after the jump. Update: All six photos are now available. Connection speeds are a little better today, nice! Enjoy the Conan shots!

Which DVD are you referring too? I've been looking all over for a legal release. If it has subtitles I would most certainly import it, next to Anne of Green Gables, Future Boy Conan is my all time favorite anime series.
No subs :(
If there was a way to play subtitle files at the same time on PS3 I'd buy this in a heartbeat, but a google search shows that to be a lost cause.
Quite nice indeed!
Psst...
