This made me laugh and cry a little on the inside at the same time. Yes, I think it's good the hentai is coming to Blu-Ray, but I agree that Gurren Lagann deserves it more. I would also like Code Geass on Blu-Ray, but I don't mind that too much.
Being serious for a moment, I don't know if you guys understand just how important the porn industry is for new media formats. For the past several forms of media, porn did indeed play a large role in deciding which format would win a format war, mainly because of it's weird tendency to be on the cutting edge of that kind of stuff...
In any case, all I'm trying to say is that it's not that surprising that a hentai beat one of the greatest shounen series to being released on Bluray.

"Personally, I can't think of a single title that needs to be on Blu-ray."
I agree. I own Afro Samurai Season 1 on BluRay, and although there´s a difference, it´s not as great as live action movies, and almost all the HD anime i´ve seen, is the same story.
More than definition, i think Bluray´s advantage (with anime) is capacity; this format let companies to cram an entire season in 1 or 2 discs, with 480p def (a really good def for anime) which should be great. The sad part is they chose to ignore this and keep the same stupid practices of selling 4 episodes per disc.
Like Bandai is doing with Code Geass.

Personally I don't believe in Blu-Ray - yet! People don't get that the actual televisions DO NOT have the capacity to render the true resolution that Blu-Ray can render. You do get a deeper, sharper picture, but nothing that's significantly better enough to really be worth the price of the equipment IMO.
Not to mention Blu-Ray sales are not doing very good...

@ Chicken: I actually would like to see that. My mind is just going crazy thinking of how it could have been.
*coughs*
Is... uh... Discipline any good?
*glances left and right*
And I would love Gurren Lagann on Blu-ray. Not sure how likely it is though...

@Heero - You're right.
Besides, Discipline was awesome! Not exactly Sexfriend, but still awesome.
Gurren Lagann will get its day...After Maid in Heaven.

I agree with you, but more discs = more money/units/whatever it is that the companies need to ensure success. That is starting to change with more shows being released in season sets, though.
Also, Blu-ray releases are in the high 20-low 30's range for the mainstream releases, and we all know what some releases of Anime are like price-wise vs. A copy of Iron Man on regular dvd. All for the blu-ray releases, but I'm happy waiting until they're not so cruel to my wallet.

Yes you are forgetting a lot, like all 14 episodes of Bible Black, and also Black Gate, are most definitely necessary to put on bluray. I'd add other top-end OVAs to the list...if I knew of them. Taimanin Asagi as well, and anything else made by Black Lilith.

Only people who haven't actually experienced Blu-Ray ever say that it's not worth the money and that there isn't a difference. There is a massive difference between Blu-Ray and regular craptastic DVD. It's like going from Betamax to HD-DVD, but better. You literally cannot watch anything that isn't blu-ray after having seen the way things should look.
