3D, why??? Did AnimEigo missed the announcement that 3D TVs has been dead since 2017, and no HDTV makers are no longer making 3D TVs anymore. Even 3D blu-rays aren't even getting made except for some certain market. So it doesn't make why would you have episodes in 3D if 3D TVs are not being made or content wise, not being made? 
I would like an explanation for that one since 3DTVs aren't being made anymore. EDIT Disclosure: I used to had a 3D HDTV I bought back in 2012, and it died on early 2023, and I now have a 4K UHDTV since that same time period. There are no 3DTV being made as of this post. As a matter of fact, I don't see any 3D UHDTV being made or produced at all as far as I know.
That make sense, it was never broadcasted on US TV or any English-speaking countries, hence no English dub. But the inclusion of the French dub will kind of make the anime more immersive for some of our anime fans here. I welcome this inclusion. |

It has nothing to do with 3D TVs, it's that the anime itself was made in 3D using a special system that's different from other 3D stuff we're used to. They already mentioned it in their initial announcement and in their February livestream. |

The show was made in the late 70s, so it obviously wasn't made with modern 3D TVs in mind. The article should have clarified, as it's been explained before by AnimEigo, but Remi was actually produced with the ability for viewers to use 3D glasses (which will be included in AnimEigo's release) to watch it via the Pulfrich effect. It takes advantage of darkening one of the lenses so as to produce a three-dimensional depth perception trick via lateral movement (i.e. left & right only). It doesn't require anything more than the glasses, and watching the show without the glasses will look perfectly normal as a 2D experience. |

You are REALLY overthinking the 3D thing. It's like the old red and blue 3D glasses. The show (for whatever reason) was made in such a way that it can use the Pulfrich effect to give the illusion of 3D. The material exists already and was provided, so they're just sharing the fun novelty with us as a historical curiosity. It's just an alternate way to watch.
Anyway. I'm super excited for this release! Remi is honestly one of my favorite anime, and I'm ecstatic to finally be able to own a copy of my very own. I've been looking forward to it ever since it was announced.

Me too! I first watched Remi back in 2010 when ANN was streaming five episodes of it every week. Now I have a reason to go back to it, and I get paid this Friday, so I'll definitely be dropping money on that set, especially since apparently copies are going to ship out early! |

Awesome! Yeah, I know my Bubblegum Crisis preorder shipped ahead of time and I saw people posting about AnimEigo's Bubblegum Crash and Nasu discs arriving a bit early too, so I think it's a very good chance we'll get Remi early too. My birthday is late April, so it's almost like AnimEigo got me the perfect present. I hope your set arrives safely! |

I get that the 3D thing is mostly just a silly bonus, but I do have to ask:
Does it negatively impact the video bitrate? |
