There doesn't seem to be much in it. I presume the R3 is from HK? Could the countries be added to the title please.

I love that first pic. Girls with swords, lovely :wink:

That would be great Hung, only somehow I've lost the frame times for caps. :x

Brad, the Region 3 is from the Korean Boxset.

Don't worry, no problem finding the correct frames, I've only seen the film 7 times so far (I think)

Damn! I've never changed the settings on my player except for the cap size so I have no idea why it's on "Vivid"

nothing new when it comes to powerdvd. But it's okay, everybody makes mistakes. I've done the exact same screw up myself (not at bnb, though...)

Thanks Hung. I'll get round to sorting this out when I re-do all the caps I've already done with proper colour. :D

Huh ? I thought it was Studio Canal ?
Or maybe it was TF1 ?

Anyway, caps are coming...

Me too 8)

Sorry Tom, my mistake, I don't know why I thought it was Wild Side...

But your TF1 looks slightly better due to less edge enhancement. Just as I expected. But I think (I hope) I'm happy with my R2J

Didn't someone just order EE Azumi 2? Should be a safe bet for those who need english subs. It really can't be as bad as Optimum.

Another option would be to wait for the US release.

@Hungfist:

We could do a "proper" Azumi 2 comparison.
I think the only comparison we did was a couple of pics in the french DVD thread. :)

Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".
