  1. Anyone here interested in dead physical media formats?

    Many probably won't remember but in the mid 2000s, there was the last "Format War" we saw in the Home Video Entertainment business - namely HD DVD from Toshiba vs. Blu-ray from Sony. While the latter succeeded, I began to collect several stuff from the first format and last weekend I was unboxing a BRAND NEW and still SEALED HD DVD Player from 2007. 😍

  5. I just finished watching the "Urusei Yatsura" (2022) series (4 seasons).

    Pretty sure this will be the end of it, since it ended with the "Kanketsuhen"/"Final Story" plot, which I believe was the end of the manga, and was the plot of the 5th movie.

    The series appears to follow the manga more closely than the old series, although I haven't actually read the manga, though I've flipped through it (I have a Japanese copy).

    I did like it, although looking over it, I am left with a little bit of "Why would you make this, when there's a perfectly good 196-episode original series, 6 movies, and several OVAs that cover the same material, and include extra stuff as well..?"

    The new music is good though. It is HD and widescreen of course, and the animation style is pretty nice. It's quality work. I am even impressed with how well the new voice actors captured the characters.

    But it does feel like it's all in the service of recreating a thing that already existed.

    Surely, with all the manga out there, there is new stuff -- even new SF/fantasy/horror -- to adapt..? :anime_huh:

    But to be fair, I am a sucker for anything UY, so of course I bought all four seasons on Blu-Ray. And maybe that is why. 🤷‍♂️

  10. Related: what's your favorite film or TV version of Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST?

    Right now I'm looking for good, fairly faithful productions of the play, not loose adaptations or re-imaginings.

RCA expected the VideoDisc to capture half of the home video market, but instead it lost out in a big way to #VHS. But the exquisitely sensitive capacitance sensors used in the VideoDisc players were capable of measuring capacitance differences on the scale of attofarads (1 × 10-18 farad), perfect for the scanning capacitance microscope (#SCM)!
