Outlaw Star – Coming to Blu-ray from 5th December
Now to give you a preview of the Blu-ray quality, you can watch a clip of the Opening title sequence below. We’ve left the subtitles on so you can see how they look with the video. It’s worth noting that a streamed clip such as this can’t replicate the experience of watching the actual Blu-ray disc itself, but certainly give you a good indication of what to expect. Also worth noting that the video assets used on our release are identical to the Japanese Blu-ray release.
We are so excited to be able to bring you this release and we’re hope you’re excited for this too!”
