Cool... I never cared much for the Zeta movies, thinking that I've never seen a Gundam recompilation that improve upon the original. But the few frames that was released online all look pretty impressive. And there's at least the hope that the 5.1 audio could be a real improvement over the original (whether that was 1.0 or 2.0). So I think I will have to give it a look. > suffer. Same goes for the recent SEED Special Editions. The TV footage was > 4:3, but the SE version is widescreen. With Seed I could believe that they PLANNED from the outset for a probable 16:9 release in some forms. So perhaps the original production was in a format that allows both 4:3 broadcast and 16:9 SE. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
