TRIPLE POSTING BANZAI!!

About the black stuff; I'm thinking of cropping 6 pixels off each dimension and then stretching. It's still being squeezed from 800x450 to 640x352.

I don't remember the series requiring that much cropping.

Get rid of the borders only and resize what's left. Same for the movie.

Is there some place I can buy the Renewal thing? I don't need the series, obviously, just the movie.

There's the DTS Collector's Edition, but that's way too steep. What's this?

You're not going to find it for any cheaper unless you're lucky. DVDs are pretty expensive in Japan. It's one of the most expensive DVD purchase I have made.. but actually for the time length I guess I could say that's not true because I've gotten nutech dvds for 20 dollars each and each dvd had 1 episode.. 30 freekin' minutes.. lol

It's a remaster more than it is a remake.. having the need to remaster a video especially if you loved the video and the visual/audio quality wasn't that good.. I don't see a problem in wanting/doing a remaster of it. personally if it was mainly a remake I wouldn't care.. I'm a big remix fan..

That would be the non-DTS edition that was released first (although I think around here people would know what DTS is, but for the uninitiated, it's an audio format). That's also the version I bought last year from CDJapan. The one thing I could not figure out though was why Death had those borders around it when the viewable picture is the same ratio, but it still looks damn good, and EoE, as x_rex30's example shows, is immaculate.
