Title: Blu-ray Upscale Disaster
Review: I'm not going to go into the plot of Samurai Champloo, 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, 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 this because I am not going to pay for this horrible mess of a release.I added a screenshot 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.
Is the review positive or negative?
