I would love it if MVM were able to acquire Kaiji by any chance.

I'm still confused why they never released this again. As you said, it's OOP and never had a UK release despite the others getting re-released as blu-ray. Why skip this?

I mean I love Haibane Renmei but that show is a classic example of a digipaint title, being produced right at the worst possible point of the transfer from cell to digital. I'm not sure there is a way to make that show look impressive on a blu ray, which was definitely the case when it was released on bd in Japan 6-7 years back. Has a new transfer somehow been attempted or is just the same master?

I still have the DVDs for Haibane Renmei so even if the Blu-rays don't look so good I can still use those.
Ideal scenario would be a SD on Blu-ray release

That Haibane artwork on the twitter page - looks familiar...
I wonder if that will be the same image AL uses on their CE box...
yeah, I know the Blu-ray for this series will be a mess, and I assume it will be the same JP master, but I'll still import a copy of the AL CE, rather than get the barebones US amaray that is shown without even a slipcover. I just now pre-ordered it from AOL.

I love that artwork, if the new boxset was confirmed to look like that then I would definitely get it, blu ray issues be damned! Thanks for sharing from your collection. Surely you & @Denny Fisher have the most comprehensive collections heh.That Haibane artwork on the twitter page - looks familiar...

This Haibane Renmei CE is actually from MVM, just to clear up any confusion.I wonder if that will be the same image AL uses on their CE box...
Pretty much, I'm expecting MVM will use the same assets they had for their very old DVD rigid box set and use it as the basis for their collector's Blu-ray.

Yes, I had a brain fart regarding MVM / AL, I saw "hardcover box" and immediately thought AL - and I even copy pasted the same post on blu-ray.com and got corrected over there as well... sigh.

I dont think they skipped it. They got the license for the 8 movies, which is what aniplex released. And the last film is a seperate license. MVM have confirmed that theyve been asking about it, so i dont think they are deliberately skipping it.

Ah, gotcha. I do remember seeing it had a separate release in the US, so it is surprising it never got one later here. But then we've seen how difficult some licences can be to get a hold of so I imagine Aniplex is gripping it extremely tightly here.

Aniplex seem a very unreasonable bunch to negotiate with. I recall they also forced MVM to increase the price of the 8 movie set mid-preorder, though I was lucky and got an order in before the price hike.
