First, we will try to post new information in a regular basis, which means, some information posted might not be anime related, but goes along the line of Blu-ray / HD technology. But don’t fret, our main focus is anime.

In addition, there will be screen shots included, and possibly a separate image comparison page. But don’t expect every reviews to have an image comparison because we don’t get standard and HD version at the same time, or we don’t get the standard version at all. Also, it depends on the company that we are dealing with if they will allow us to do it.
