FULL ALBUM: http://minus.com/mez3Z9AEJn3W7
Positives:
+ Unobtrusive DNR that cleans the grain while retaining image detail.
+ As far as cropping goes, a majority of the scenes make good use of the extra frame width to create solid 16:9 compositions.
+ Crisp line art and smooth shading in all scenes bar those that have focus issues on the original negative.
+ No obvious artifacting or banding during heavy motion and dark scenes.
Negatives:
- Green tint remains an issue (particularly obvious during scenes with lots of yellow).
- Some scenes feature heavy ringing around the line art.
- Haloing can something be seen in clouds as a result of poor colour grading.
It's quite hard to be positive about this set out of the box as the green tint is particularly distracting. However, some simple colour correction does offer a passable remastering of the series.
...Shame about Kai as a whole though.
As far as comparisons to the Season Sets go; I suggest checking out my post from another thread - http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... 20#p843129 - detailing the things to watch out for when making judgements.
