In particular the halo lines around the outlines and stuff suggest to me that the DVD release is the HDTV footage shrunk down. This comparison I don't think is a good example, because it's digitally animated (or at least inked and coloured digitally).

The identical frame counts can easily be explained in Toei possibly having a higher-resolution master that was shrunk for actual DVD publication, a practice that isn't uncommon (again, the Orange Bricks were "remastered" using that process). Here's a comparison between the Box and its original cel (which has been shrunk down to the size of the Dragon Box footage):Īnd to prove my point, here's a practical demonstration I whipped up:įor my money, the fact that the torrent has thinner lines and lacks the halos is good reason to at least suspect that it isn't an upscale. Filmmakers behind the movies Mechanic: Resurrection and Once Upon a Time in Venice have signed a settlement with Dragon Box and two of its resellers in Hawaii. When you blur things, the pixels get smudges to ones nearby, making them look thicker. KBABZ wrote:The lines getting thinner is to be expected IMO.
