Death Note is coming to Blu-ray... just not the anime version.
Warner Home Video and Viz Video are teaming up once again to deliver the latest anime craze in Death Note to Blu-ray, in live-action format on August 24, 2010. The Death Note Collection will be a double feature of the live-action version of the popular series, whose anime was a smash hit for adult swim's import line-up. Here's the official synopsis:
That's pretty disappointing. I am willing to bet that the Death Note anime would gain alot more on Blu-ray then those movies will. HD masters or not.
I would really like to see Viz start thinking about Blu-ray. I would LOVE to see the first Bleach movie on Blu-ray. It was a movie so it has a HD master and it would look very pretty on Blu-ray.
Never figure why people like these movies...they are just plain bad imo.
