Unfortunately, the broadcast of Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody looked worse at least in the Raws. I think they will release Haruhi on Blu-ray later in the order of the broadcasting, as a mix of new and old episodes. The rebroadcast of the old episodes looks like real 720p material was used.

I agree that it being anything audio-related is highly-unlikely. What we can say for sure, though, is that the new Haruhi season is being produced in HD. (Unfortunately, though, Kadokawa announced DVDs already but not Blu-Rays...) Yeah, who knows. I agree that it being anything audio-related is highly-unlikely.

It is possible though, that the HD Editing role is only shown when the actual footage was HD to begin with, and any SD broadcasts that were intended to be SD have it omitted. It doesn't explain Haruhi's predicament though, and my guess is that they got lazy and left that role in. We will have to see what K-ON's Blu-ray release looks like to make a final judgment though. Should also note that <a href="http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=PCXE-50010" rel="nofollow">K-ON's Blu-ray release</a> doesn't have 5.1 audio either.

(They commented on how the biggest difference about HD is that they drew on larger paper.) That being said, obviously, their shows haven't been released in HD format to either broadcasters or on home media (K-On is the first of their shows to be released in native HD on Blu-Ray). So, anyway, I'm not sure what all that means for this particular credit. It could simply be that they're now calling this out separately. Also, it's been mentioned that Studio Gong is a traditionally an audio studio, so perhaps this is referring to 5.1 audio mixing (and they just call it "HD"?). Not sure... In either case, there's more to the story. Well actually, Kyoto Animation revealed in a Kanon DVD bonus feature that all their shows from Kanon on are drawn/produced in HD.
