5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, all in one box, June 8, 2010

This review is from: Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE: Collected Memories Box Set [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

Tsubasa Chronicles is a sweet love story staring Syaoran and Princess Sakura, and their journey to recover her memories, which has been transformed into feathers and spread around on many worlds. Through the help of the dimensional witch, Syaoran and Sakura join with two other travelers, going to other worlds, all looking for something, yet all looking for Sakura's memories.

So, what is in this boxed set? There's a total of 7 disks, 6 disks containing all of the 52 episodes, and the 7th disk is "Tsubasa the Movie - The Princess in the Birdcage kingdom". There's also over 70 minutes of extra features and bonus materials. According to the packaging, it's all HiDef (1080P) and widescreen (16x9). There's English and Japanese audio, as well as English subtitles. Unfortunately, the English subtitles doesn't match the English audio... The image quality looks fine to me. I can't see any obvious signs of cheap upscaling; there's no pixelation or jagged edges anywhere that I can see on my TV.

So, if you, like me, have been looking for a means of getting all of this story in one collection, then is may very well be the solution for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Missing a Few Feathers..., August 26, 2010

This review is from: Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE: Collected Memories Box Set [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

The world of Clamp is a large one, and this anime series is a recap of part of the manga series. Please note that I said "part of" and not that it was a total cover.

I really enjoyed the series overall. The art style, animation, and quality was quite gorgeous, although I admit I watched it on a SD-TV and therefore didn't really get to see it in its high-def glory. The reason I bought the series was because I had already seen the movie "The Princess in the Birdcage Kingdom"(included in this box set) before, and I fell in love Syaoran's love for Sakura. I bought this box set on sale, for an amazing price, and I definitely feel it was worth the money, with one problem: The story is incomplete!

I felt that the pacing was good; the characters were well-developed, and the story was written in a cute, lovely style that still had enough heaviness to keep it from being generic fluff. The music was also good, although a bit repetitive at times. The smaller story arcs covered anywhere from 2-4 episodes, with an overall plot involving a menacing figure, and an evil-looking clone of the hero, Syaoran.

This is where the anime left me. After two seasons, the smaller arc in the last few episodes wrapped, the credits rolled, and I realized they had done nothing to explain who the menacing figure was. Who was pirate-Syaoran, and why was he in a tube? This, and a few other things (I won't mention spoilers) left me feeling like the series was incomplete once it had ended, and I was actually a bit upset about it, especially once I researched online and found out that it really is just a small chunk of a rather large manga series, which I do not intend to invest in.

In the end, I still really liked the series overall. The smaller plot points and the development of the relationship between Syaoran and Sakura is quite charming. If they had removed the larger arc, which was not explained or completed, the series would definitely be 5 stars in my book. The packaging is nice for a full series box set; the discs aren't all stacked like they are in some other box sets. The movie is a very nice addition as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Blu-ray Version A Let Down, February 17, 2011

This review is from: Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE: Collected Memories Box Set [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

I'm not going to go into the plot of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, other sites and reviewers have that covered, but here is the deal, Funimation has yet again releases another upscaled piece of garbage.

This Blu-ray set has a number of issues with the video. The images are blurry, the lines are fuzzy, colors washed out, everything as a glow around it, there is noticeable gradient banding, and artifacting during many scenes. If you own the DVDs, stick with them as they are the best quality available.

If you want a HD version of this anime wait for the official release from the studio, not some cheap Funimation weekend project. I ended up returning the two part sets, because I am not going to pay for this horrible mess of a release.

I added a few screenshots to the images section to show how bad this release is. Make sure to look at it full size, as it naturally looks better at a smaller size. Also the screenshot was not altered in any way from the Blu-ray source.
