Godzilla/Kaiju General Releases Thread (Ask questions here!)
Alright, so i've been sitting around here, and I know there's quite a few releases that people may have questions upon from outside the US or ones people do not know even exist. I've decided to create a thread for those miscellaneous releases that are coming out or are out that wouldn't garner much discussion as a general thread. Feel free to ask questions about what releases are the best to get, which you shouldn't get, and other general things.
So, i'll start off with an upcoming German Blu-ray set that's coming out:

Re: Godzilla/Kaiju General Releases Thread (BD, DVD, Etc.)
The Kraken releases look pretty damned good. The Sony ones are uneven and the MB ones/Biollante are just the underwhelming Toho transfers, but they're probably worth picking up anyway. Criterion's release of the original is an absolute must. Universal's KKvsG looks decent but it's only the US version.Lain Of The Wired wrote:Idk if this is the thread for it but out of the blurays that have been released, which ones have the best HD picture?
That's a pretty odd selection of movies, isn't it? It's got the original, Raids Again, and then the rest is late Heisei and Millennium.gigan72 wrote:So, i'll start off with an upcoming German Blu-ray set that's coming out:

Fortunately, Godzilla Raids Again is available separately on German Blu-ray, as is Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster.

Anyone know which site has the best digital version of Gojira, or all they all about the same? I know iTunes and Vudu have one, but the Vudu one is SD and Idk on the iTunes.

Yup, each film is in Japanese with English subs. There's a total of four discs, with each disc containing three films (except for one which has 2).Mechagigan wrote:What's on the Gamera Legacy set? As in, are there subs?

Re: Godzilla/Kaiju General Releases Thread (Ask questions here!)
I've heard the quality is garbage on account of compression, though; if you can afford to spend more, there's a bundle available with all the same films on Blu-ray.

Re: Godzilla/Kaiju General Releases Thread (Ask questions here!)
it is fairly poor, all it has going for it is the fact it's cheap and has a bunch of films. The Blu-ray collection goes for about $25, and while they're not the best they could look either, they are a noticeable bump up in quality. Obviously you need a Blu-ray player to watch them.omgitsgodzilla wrote:I've heard the quality is garbage on account of compression, though; if you can afford to spend more, there's a bundle available with all the same films on Blu-ray.

Re: Godzilla/Kaiju General Releases Thread (Ask questions here!)
It's worth mentioning again that all of Kadokawa's HD transfers for the Gamera films are only in 1080i, so when you add additional compression on top of that, they're not going to look much better than watching the Shout DVD's upscaled.

I'll gladly eat crow if it doesn't turn out that way....but at this point it feels painfully obvious, as it has for months.

Re: Godzilla/Kaiju General Releases Thread (Ask questions here!)
There's definitely some additional detail to be found on the Blu-rays, but between the interlacing and the lackluster colors, contrast, etc. they certainly leave something to be desired.

Re: Godzilla/Kaiju General Releases Thread (Ask questions here!)
I am considering purchasing the Blu-Ray of Destroy All Monsters! But I have concern of that particular release. Is it true that said release was stripped of all special features, including trailers and commentary?

That's a bummer...

It doesn't, and it is a bummer, but don't worry. The AIP version is out there. Just take a look in my signature
