 REMIX-VIDEO QUALITY December 6, 2005

This is (also) a review of the REMIX VERSIONS. I won't go into the awesomeness of Cowboy Bebop other than to say that it is the best anime series ever, I'd even call it one of the best television shows ever!
While it has been universally noted on various postings about the remix versions that the sound is significantly better than the original sessions, there are multiple varying reviews on the PICTURE QUALITY. Some say there is no difference at all, some say it's a bit better, some say it's a lot better, all say they have "checked" both versions. Well, I took it a step further. I watched both versions side by side on an Avid Nitris Professional video editing system with high definition high resolution (HDHR) monitors and here is the DEFINITIVE ANSWER. There is a difference, they lightened it and did a very slight color correction. Basically, the old versions were a bit dark and some of the detail went unnoticed while the remix versions are lighter and there is more visible detail and color. In terms of viewing expeirience this means that a majority of the scenes look noticibly (if marginally) better. There are certain scenes, however, where the lightness works against it. Some of the more noirish scenes look a bit bleedy. Overall I would say that there is a difference in video quality and that the difference is mostly an improvement. But, even to the die hard fan the difference is negligible.
If you don't own the originals, if they're scratched, if you're a huge fan, if you have an awesome theatre system with good surround, or if you have a crappy small tv and can't see the detail in the image, GET THE REMIX. If not, while they are cool, they're not worth the $30 a pop.
 This disc actually has a decent special feature December 26, 2007

This disc features the ninteenth through twenty-second episodes of the series. The special feature on this disc is a Cowboy Bebop Session #0. Session #0 is a roughly half-hour Cowboy Bebop documentary. The documentary includes stats and information on the main characters, interviews with the animation front liners, the director, the series composer, and the voice actors for Ed, Jet, Spike, and Faye. Also included in the documentary is an "unaired TV episode digest" (which includes "Asteroid Blues," "Gateway Shuffle," "Ballad of Fallen Angels," and "Sympathy for the Devil"). A "music" video for the Cowboy Bebop theme song and a textless version of the ending credits are also included. Tacked on to the end of the documentary is a video for a remix of the Cowboy Bebop theme song (the remix was done by DJ FOOD). At the very end of the documentary, an "information" section is included (it lists the various DVDs, CDs, and video games available for Cowboy Bebop).
I have to say that this disc has one of the best special features included on the remix DVDs. The only real criticism I have to make on it is the fact that I really didn't care for DJ FOOD's remix of the Cowboy Bebop theme song. Outside of that, I have little to complain about.
