But othe r than actually cleaning the film, nothing I saw from the on-line informati on gave any hint of them actually doing any remastering (removing splice ar tifacts, nicks, noticeable film artifacts, remastering the audio, etc.).=0A If they had actually done anything with the audio, at least a few of the pe ople leaving comments, should have said something.=0A=0A> Since geneon is g one, maybe Funi will pick up the originals=0A> and re-do=0A> the subs to be correct.=A0 Would be nice, but I'm not=0A> holding my breath.=0A=0AFunimat ion has taken over a lot of Pioneer/Geneon product, and ALL of Tenchi, so I guess if they decide to go Blu-Ray, they'd probably take up the project. However, they would have to do it from the film, because the tape masters d on't have anywhere near enough definition. It would seriously look like cr ap if they just upconverted.=0AI'm guessing to take on the project, a major re-negotiation of contract would be necessary. They couldn't just run wit h a standard contract for an old anime.=0A=0A=0A
