Last year, the plan was to release the final batch of episodes along with Kienai and AZFS in a Big Release Day for the ages. Unfortunately, life felt like intervening and the original plan never came to fruition. With that said, it is now my pleasure to announce that DCTP has now released all of their remaining old episodes–of the ten remaining, these were all in which we had a stake. That means we are now down to just 4 episodes left. Out of 602 episodes, we only have 4 left to go before they are all subbed. The remaining 4 episodes are all Kienai and AZFS episodes, but we will be offering assistance at every turn to ensure that they are released as soon as possible.
We have come an incredibly long way at this point, but “teamwork” was always the name of the game. That is why I am proud to announce that, once the final 4 episodes are released, the folks at AZFS (our partners on this case’s release) will be joining us at DCTP as we continue doing our best to bring everyone Conan at the highest quality possible. Now, you may be wondering why this would be necessary after all of the episodes are subbed. Well, the answer is clear: Even though the canon may be done once, that doesn’t mean it’s done for good. There are episodes that members of the team have worked on in the past with our older teams that we think can be updated to our current standard, given that we have infinitely greater resources than we once did. In short, we’ll keep doing the new manga files and the new anime episodes weekly as we have for years now, but don’t expect us to suddenly neglect the older episodes. The releases of lower quality will be re-released in the future, until we have a full canon that will withstand the test of time.
Now, as for the image you may have seen in the last update, many of you no doubt recognized it right away. You may have also taken note of it being in much higher quality than how you remember it, which is understandable considering that it is from the recently-released Blu-ray edition of Movie 8. Some are already out, but Movies 7-14 will all gradually be made available on Blu-ray over the coming months, and as they do, we will begin working on them to deliver the best releases we can in full 1080p. The first release will be Movie 8, as we figured that was the one virtually everyone holds some sort of affection for. Hopefully you will look forward to it and the others!
This is all we have for today, folks, but there’s much, much more to come in the future! Feel free to join us here on the forums to discuss the day’s releases in the meantime!
