The review is technically incorrect when stating the episodes are 480p when in fact they are 1080p. From my recollection, the original elements were 16mm prints. Unfortunately, while being 1080p they can easily be confused for 480p in that they don't have the detail one comes to expect with a 1080p release. The print is soft and can easily be confused with a quality 480p print. The advantage of the blu-ray is the much higher bitrate available when housing 13 episodes across a single blu-ray disk vs. doing the same with 480p video across a single DVD.
