Speed Racer - Complete Series - Blu-ray

Ok I retract my last statement. Apparently there was a misunderstanding on the app and it said that I had to go and pick it up myself which I couldn’t. But today it came in and in pretty good shape.

I'm very happy with this purchase. I've been a fan of Speed Racer since i was a kid. The quality from the blu-ray is great. Now i get to watch one of my favs at any time without the commercials or waiting for the next episodes.

EDIT Statement from Funi about the issue can be found on line. It basically says that it was a printing error on their part. The DVD release does not have this error, and that there will be a Colectors Edition of Speed Racer as well as Mach GoGoGo later this year. So if you have not ordered you may want to hold off for a CE I just received my copy in the mail so lets take a look, and before I start I want to get it out of the way that this is the English Dub. The original is said to be coming out at a later date. That said lets continue. The set comes with a slip cover where everything on the front besides speed racer has a shimmer to it. The backs seem to be identical. On the outside of the package details state that the discs are Region A. There are two audio tracks both are Dolby True HD. One is English two channel mono, and the other is Japanese 2.0. However after looking at the Set Up Menu in Disc One there are no Audio choices it is just listed as English The video is listed as 1080P HD Native in 4.3 ratio. It also has English SDH. Inside the package there are pictures printed on the inside of the jacket, but it is not a reverse-able cover. All five discs contain the same art work. The discs have 12 episodes each except for the last one. There is no insert or booklet inside the case. Playing the first episode the the Trans Lux and copyright information seem to be gone. However the white Speed Racer logo is used. I am not sure if and how the ending was different between versions to compare those. There is a Play All, Episodes, and Set Up I looked at Disc One and Disc Five and could not find any special features. a little insert and/or some special features would have put it over the top for me. Skimming through the first episode visuals seem rather clean and sharp. There is of course a little mark here and there, but that is to be expected with how old everything is. It still looks really great. Overall pretty happy at first go over.

All the episodes are there. It looks and sounds great.

It's not beautiful animation, but the story line is more like a traditional action series than a Warner Brothers cartoon, so I liked it as a kid. The voice actors have distinct character creation, but there's no synch at all.

A lot of people are complaining that there is no Japanese audio track as it says on the box. This is true. But the overreaction is ridiculous. I was looking forward to hear the Japanese audio myself...but just as a novelty. I wasn't going to listen to every episode in Japanese...just enough to satisfy my curiosity. It is a legitimate gripe that the audio is missing...but come on...it's Speed Racer on Blu-ray! This set deserves 4 stars or better reviews.

I’ve only watched the first episode but wow, it looks great. Old animation can sometimes fall victim to over-heavy digital noise reduction used to get rid of scratches and dust. That produces sharp images but can also wipe out parts of the original drawing, resulting in something that has no trace of age, but looks unnatural and more like computer art than a thing hand drawn. That’s not the case here. They’ve left in some minor age related noise in order to get a truer image. Definitely the way to go. It’s a joy to watch, just visually. The colors are saturated and vivid, as well. I had seen a standard definition streaming version of several episodes some time ago, and seeing it this way on this blu-ray is a like a completely different experience.

Arrived extra early and in great condition! Seller also responded fast to an inquiry. Looking forward to reliving my childhood. 🔥

カバーやトールケース内のジャケットのAUDIOの表記には DOLBY TRUNEND: ENGLISH 2-CHANNEL MONO DOLBY TRUNEND: JAPANESE 2.0 となっているにもかかわらず，開封して再生してみると，AUDIOメニューは英語音声のみで日本語音声はありませんでした． 再生直後（5月27日時点）にアマゾンの同製品のページを確認すると，音声：日本語となっていました(6月4日時点では英語)． カバーやトールケース内のジャケットどおり英語音声，日本語音声両方入っている商品に交換してほしいとメッセージしたのですが，1週間経過した今も返事がありません．

Excelente en tiempo y calidad, gracias Amazon!!

Everything looks beautiful & what a fun show I will be rewatching this over & over for years to come

Ottime immagini, master fatto da pellicola originale. Peccato per l'assenza di libretti , o di art gallery come extra . Da segnalare alcune rotture nel box, sugli incastri per i supporti

fast delivery, no hassle, highly recommended!
