FUNimation to release Samurai Champloo, Basilisk, Gunslinger Girl & Witchblade

Posted on August 10, 2009 at 08:27 by Ulrik.Tweet this

The end of the year could become pretty expensive for anime lovers equipped with a Region A capable Blu-ray Disc player. During the weekend several Blu-ray Disc collections of anime series from FUNimation have appeared on Amazon.com, starting with Witchblade on November 3rd.
With several bust sizes smaller but not less effective, the first season of Gunslinger Girl will be released on December 1st, only a few weeks after the Japanese collection
On December 15th, Shinichiro Watanabe's Samurai Champloo and the ninjatized Romeo & Juliet adaptation Basilisk will hit the US shelves without having been announced in Japan.
Thanks to Asian Blu-ray Guide contributor r3d-3agl3 for the heads up!

Is there any concrete info on what the original resolution for Samurai Champloo is? I would assume it was made in a higher resolution than SD, but you never know. I'm hoping the source is HD, and that FUNimation won't goof up the Blu-ray by offering up SD upconverts.

Unless Champloo is shot on film? I doubt it, judging by the look of things.
