@Chibi:
no this isn't original aspect ratio, the original AR is 4:3, the Toei master SD ar for the episode 'til ep 206 or 207 is 4:3
there are actually 2 types of japanese DVD release you can find for this episode:
- one from dvd rental (you can rent in shop) that are in crop 16:9 (most of the iso from internet come from this dvd)
- the real dvd retail from Toei/fuji you can buy that are in 4:3
by the way, most of the foreigner company who buy licence and dub the anime in other country, modify AR in their own DVD for a better TV AR match
already showed in page 4
Yes exactly and I said "I cropped the DVD image to actually match 16:9," I did it myself to display the difference if the same would have been done to the original retail dvd (which I own).
So the shot I made is from original retail. I actually have a japanese dvd rental shop here and you are right about this.
But the shot I made is from the original dvd.
