Cowboy Bebop Blu-ray Questions!
-
I have a question about the aspect ratios of the two Premium editions of "Cowboy Bebop", and another question about the extras on the two sets.
On the FUNimation exclusive it says the aspect ratio is 4x3 (SD Remaster). Link: http://shop.funimation.com/Shop/ShopProductDetail.ss?itemid=96276
But on the Amazon exclusive it says the ratio is 1.33:1. Link: http://www.amazon.com/Cowboy-Bebop-Complete-Exclusive-Blu-ray/dp/B00MMOZ1SS/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1412022788&sr=1-1&keywords=cowboy+bebop
So, what it the 4x3 ratio all about? Does that mean there are black bars on the sides?
Oh, and I'm guessing the Amazon edition will have the same on-disc extras as the announced FUNimation extras?
Thanks.

1.33:1 = 4x3.
So, what it the 4x3 ratio all about? Does that mean there are black bars on the sides?
Yes, as it should be on a widescreen TV/display.

That is correct. The only thing different about the individual releases is the physical packaging and contents, which still have yet to be revealed.
Also, the standard DVD release is missing one special feature that's only on the bluray.

I have another question. The Japanese Blu-ray boxset came with a novel by Keiko Nobumoto which translates to "Big Crunch" and tells the story of how Spike and Jet met. Is this novel going to be translated to English and released in North America through either the Funimation or Amazon boxset?

So then the answer to my question is no?

There's a chance it might be included in the 144 page artbook that comes with the Amazon exclusive release, but nothing official has been said, so it's pretty unlikely.
