Cowboy Bebop Dual Audio Remastered Torrent 9
Betty Neyhart
On August 24, 2007, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Macross, Japan released on DVD an HD remastered box set containing both the entire OVA series and Movie. Unlike the episodic releases however, which include the English dub alongside the Japanese track, said dub was omitted, and a PCM mix replaces both (Dolby Digital) stereo options heard before. On June 21, 2013, a Blu-ray box, again featuring episodes 1-4 & Movie saw release. This time however, the English dub was reinstated, and episodes 1-4 include both Japanese and English audio, with episode 4 using the newer Bandai dub, while retaining Manga's original for episodes 1-3. Movie Edition on the other hand is Japanese only, but offers English subtitles, plus a new DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track to go alongside its PCM option. A stand alone Blu-ray of the theatrical cut was reissued on January 29, 2016. (Source: CDjapan.jp)
The first two seasons were released on DVD as individual volumes of the DiC censored dub and a mediocre quality subtitled box set which ended up missing an episode in the R series. The third and fourth series, S and SuperS, were released by Pioneer and later Genvid in higher quality dual-audio DVDs first as individual volumes and then as bargain boxsets. The final season never got released here.
The quality of the North American DVD releases is trumped by remastered releases of the show in Japan. Their DVDs have much, much higher quality audio. All the US versions were likely using the old VHS masters, so the sound is very scratchy, especially in the first two volumes. The Japanese releases have solid, crystal clear sound. The video quality is also much, much better, especially for a series that began over twelve years before the DVD re-releases.
