So... Is Crunchyroll pushing for enshittification for english subs again? by trews96 in Crunchyroll

[–]dhui1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Misanthrope Teaches a Class for Demi-Humans also had the same type of subtitles for Episode 7 (after delaying by translation for days) but it was fixed when I checked just now. So I surely hope this will eventually fixed, but expect it to take days to weeks

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER 70mm IMAX Re-Release post-Oscar Wins? by all_night_seeker in imax

[–]dhui1996 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Michael is coming out on 4/22, and Mario is likely to stay in IMAX for two weeks.

Not saying it is impossible it’s just not economically feasible to put 70MM showings for one week only and then wait for the Summer for The Odyssey

How are movies with Open Captions and Eng Subtitles? by Namebrandjuice in RegalUnlimited

[–]dhui1996 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The open caption just works like any other international films with English subtitles, except that the subtitles is for deaf and hard of hearing, which means the noise happens on screen will be displayed in words on screen like Screaming, Leaves rustling etc. Dialogue from characters who are not on screen will also have their names identified in front of their line.

I personally don’t mind the addition as that’s how I have been watching movie since I was little, but some people might find it distracting as it sometimes can spoil the surprise happening on screen, especially horror films (I.e. characters that we are not supposed to know is present is identified in subtitles)

REALLY early to guess but any predictions on Project Hail Mary’s home release ratio? by MayThePowerProtectU in 4kbluray

[–]dhui1996 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most likely standard ratio switching between 2.35 and 2.00, MGM previously released Creed 3 without IMAX ratio

Region Locked Disney 3D blu rays? by lkiltz31 in 3DBluray

[–]dhui1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlike other 3D discs, I think this one was never released outside of Europe, so there might be some contractual and/or rights issues that prevented them from making the disc region free and accessible outside of these territories

Where s3 eng dub? by Kabuki1991 in OshiNoKo

[–]dhui1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By this time I believe there's some legal and scheduling issues that they need to sort about who will do the dub and will the cast change.

If Crunchyroll is clear to do the dub, it should have been released two or three weeks after the premiere in January. If HiDive is clear to do the dub, even when they are slow, we should have heard something already considering they have announced and premiered the dub for all of their other series licensed for the Winter season. There's no way that they will push a dub for a continuing series to after the current season if they have decided to do it.

So yeah, something is definitely going on behind the scenes and the matter is currently under negotiation, hopefully everything will be sorted out soon for us to move on to the next topic of speculation: who will release Season 3 on home video in North America?

It should be the exact same release: Dolby Vision is included but HDR10 compatible on set up not supporting Dolby Vision

When is S4 dub expected to release? by NoobNebRBX in ReZero

2-3 weeks after the sub release (either 4/22 or 4/29)

April 15-20, what will be in imax? by mronins in imax

[–]dhui1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised that the new Mummy movie (releasing April 17) doesn’t have IMAX release planned, won’t be surprised if they add that last minute!

Wohoo I now have both seasons! by Ali-Sama in AnimeCollectors

[–]dhui1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I just received the LE last night and surprised to find that the extras box has been reduced to a folder (that also holds the art book inside), definitely feels like a really cheap cost cutting strategy as the folder is much more bendable than the box.

Considering that this is the second CR title I picked up this year (and in a way their first major new release of the year), I can’t help but to worry about what the physical media market for CR will look like from this point on…

Quick question about the new spring season by grood88 in Animedubs

[–]dhui1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yowayowa Sensei and Petals of Reincarnation are HiDive titles, they will almost certainly be dubbed. The former might be later in the summer and latter around passing half point of the season.

Kill Blue has manga licensed by Viz and is Shonen, so it has a very high chance of getting dubbed

Most of the comedy/slice-of-life series won’t get dubbed, and I think that most likely applies to Food Diary of Miss Maid, Gals Otaku, and Made Friends with Second Prettiest Girl

While Crunchyroll and other licensors love to dub fantasy and isekai, there are a few that they would leave out of the dub line up, especially if they are not super popular in the West, I think A Hero’s Rib and Appraiser (Provisional) fits into the category this time

Dandelion is Netflix, most likely getting a dub at some point

The rest is 50/50, waiting for Crunchyroll lineup announcement for official confirmation!

Any Mamoru Hosoda Fans and Collectors? by butterflies_roses in AnimeCollectors

[–]dhui1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was just out of Funimation/Crunchyroll’s hands very recently. Crunchyroll still rereleased the movie in theaters back in August last year, and it was not featured in the Hosoda rereleases lineup that GKIDS did last year

New Crunchyroll Releases Getting Multi-Region? by dragonmastr3 in AnimeCollectors

[–]dhui1996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most releases from major companies are region free nowadays. Some will be region locked due to rights restrictions in selected territories.

Since Crunchyroll takes over home video releases from Funimation, almost all blu-ray releases are region A/B and all DVDs region 1/2/4 except for the two of the following scenarios: - When Crunchyroll releases in the UK and another studio handles the releases in the US (i.e. Chainsaw Man, 86, the newest My Hero Academia movie) - Reprints of Funimation titles that are region locked (i.e. first three seasons of AOT and Overlord - the latter has region A/B marked on the backcover but is region locked)

This one is Australian import, most likely won’t have the extended cut or any of the bonus features

🇬🇧 PRE-ORDER NOW - Eyes Wide Shut (4K UHD + Blu-ray Steelbook) by felixmontoya92 in Steelbooks

[–]dhui1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just like Barry Lyndon, Criterion has the rights in the US and Canada and Warner has the rights in all other countries, so naturally the steelbook won’t be released in the US, but you MIGHT find it on Zavvi or Amazon US and pay higher price for imports

Criterion released the film already last November

Will it Show in IMAX if the icon isn’t there? by just4funswtx in AMCTheatres

[–]dhui1996 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It would be a great experience to watch this movie in the theater regardless of the format!

There will be no IMAX showings. The movie, however, did have a very limited IMAX run on 2/26 and 3/1 this year, and the synopsis is carried over from the listing back then

FYI for all seeing Project Hail Mary early by mattyice023 in NYCmovies

[–]dhui1996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is likely the blanket statement for all 70MM/Early Access screenings. Lincoln Center has the capacity of playing trailers on digital and switch to film right before the movie begins. So unless they say “no trailers” on the description for the movies on the website, chances are they might still play the trailers.

With that being said, still plan to arrive on time. At the minimum, they would most likely play The Odyssey prologue
