Everything that follows thereafter is more akin to a parallel word rather than a replication, and there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why. Only after is the audience treated to a relatively faithful reproduction of the elevator scene familiar to fans of the anime. As if taking his advice, Ziman’s KITE leads off lightly by revealing one of its main characters and a little bit of the neglected downtown (Johannesburg, South Africa) setting. An English professor I once had stated, in so many words, that using a direct quote from someone else to initiate or conclude a personal statement is an admission of one’s own failure to make a good argument. I'm probably going to buy a decent Blu (If they ever release one) of it just for the sake of trolling friends with it and to let them know an animator (Or character designer IIRC) from Gundam worked on it. I bought two Media Blasters Blu-Ray's, Tokyo Gore Police and Ichi The Killer and the both of them looked atrocious, even compared to my DVD's so the idea of John Sirabella releasing Kite on Blu-Ray makes me want to hurl.īTW Is Urotsukidoji really that bad of a transfer? I remember watching a DVD copy of it a while ago and it looked OK, I guess? The animation (And the content) were a bit of a turn off for me but the print looked as crisp and sharp as it could. could someone like Sentai Filmworks buy the rights from him? Lets face it, they've released Queen's Blade and the HOTD OVA so I'm pretty sure they could at least release Kite without the explicit sexual content that also includes violence. Can't be any worse than the STORY OF RICKY or MACHINE GIRL BD they put out, can it? Y'all know I trust John Sirabella as far as I could hammer throw him, but if we actually get a Blu-ray. doesn't exactly bode well for KITE: UNCUT getting the HD treatment, does it. It was also in the wrong aspect ratio and was the least graphic cut of the material available. and now it's back on to cash in on that live action film nobody wanted? Fair enough, I guess.īefore anyone gets their hopes up, keep in mind their last "adult" anime Blu-ray release - LEGEND OF THE OVERFIEND - contains about 7 minutes of upscaled SD footage to fill in the gaps of their cut, beat-to-hell 35mm source. So first it's cancelled because the materials are crap. After doing the transfer, they were wrong. We were told from the producers that they had the film elements and were in good condition. What was the point of soliciting the release if you didn't even know the state of the masters? According to MB, the negatives were in terrible shape, so the release is cancelled.for now. Question:What is happening with Kite on Bluray I preordered it and rightstuf says no longer in purchase? Here's what was said in December of 2012 on the official Media Blasters Facebook page, for what it's worth: Sure, if you can call being Media Blasters living. Twelve Kingdoms had a very good release too. Giant Robo was for the most part excellent, other than some artifacts here and there if you looked closely. I bought a couple of stuff from them and they looked good. Some of their stuff in the early 2000s were fine. Those releases are long out of print, hopefully in the future the series gets rescue licensed and re-released with proper restoration on blu-ray! Along with the rest of their catalog titles left to die - Kite, Iria, etc. Not so professional and the prices they were asking for them back then were outright theft. I know media blasters was a poor company back then but still.the way they released that felt cheap, half assed, and and completely rushed. Must've been on a tight schedule with a small budget. Luckily after episode 8 the animation and transfer quality increase drastically and same goes for the 2nd season box-set, So at least they didn't completely screw us over. its almost as if Media Blasters took the transfer from a crappy vhs tape and dragged it through the mud. I swear the first 8 episodes on that Kenshin season 1 box-set have the worst bootleg quality I have ever seen. Look the Kenshin TV box-sets they released. Media Blasters has always been a broke company.
