My original reason for supporting Blu-ray was because of animation. Accurately displaying lines in as crisp a fashion as possible requires low compression rates. If all of the bit-rate and space can be used to the fullest on Blu-ray, I'm sure there would be a noticeable difference between an anime transferred to Blu-ray in comparison to HD-DVD. Unfortunately I don't know if that kind of utilization of BDs will ever come along. At the very least, Blu-ray can offer better performance in terms of multiple language tracks for a piece of animation. I'm glad it now looks as if it's going to be the winner.

Either way, the movie I most look forward to getting on Blu-ray (when I get a player and an HDTV) will be Wings of Honneamise. I own the English dub on VHS already would love to watch the film at a quality that is closer to what I would see in a full-fledged theater.
