ADN and CGR Events (Apollo Films) have signed a deal for the European distribution of ADN's 2026 cinema line-up. The Dangers in My Heart: The Movie and Assassination Classroom the Movie: Our Time are also part of the deal CGR Events et ADN signent un accord pour la distribution cinéma I bought...

The information on V-storage (Bandai's site) is 99% of the time correct; iirc the only error in recent times that I can think of was when they listed a wrong aspect ratio on the Macross DYRL UHD 1080p BD disc, which they fixed a few days later. You can add these to the list: Panty & Stocking...

Were it not for the fact that the missing frames are from repeated shots that they can copy from, I would agree with that. This is something that they can fix without needing new materials from Japan.

There are frames missing in the Perfect Blue UHD when the photographer is stabbed repeatedly. The screen goes black during those parts. This also happens on the Japanese UHD. Video comparison with Blu-ray (slowed down to 6fps for easier viewing) This happens again a few seconds later, but I'm...

The discs are different though; the authoring is shared with France/Germany/Italy.

I buy new Japanese BDs from CDJapan because of their superb packaging. They charge SRP (minus Japanese tax) on Blu-rays, but the reward points, point campaigns and coupons make the prices more tolerable. I usually pick the cheapest tracked option, registered airmail, but it unfortunately has...

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners got delayed to December in Germany (11th) and France (Steelbook 3rd, Deluxe 17th).

Digibeta is SD. The old HD master is from a noisy CRT telecine probably intended for HDTV broadcast. It didn't get a new remaster from the 35mm film until recently probably due to lack of interest from the parties involved. --------------------- I wonder if the frame glitch early on in the...

Deluxe Edition seems to carry over the physical extras from the Aniplex release. Packaging is different though; Aniplex release has a clear PET O-ring that holds the digipack, books and extras together. Deluxe Edition seems to have a chipboard box with the 2nd anniversary artwork.

The authoring house applied dynamic range compression to all the audio tracks to make quieter scenes louder and louder scenes less loud. While dynamic range compression can be desirable in some situations, such as watching with the TV's built-in speakers or late at night, it shouldn't be...

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Blu-ray should be revealed soon. The German Deluxe Edition and steelbook have been listed on Anime Planet with a release date of November 20, but cannot be ordered at the moment and the images have been blurred. Same discs as the UK and French release. I hope they don't...

I was reading their home page, but I see now that they ship to more places than just the Schengen area.

Aim for the Ace The Movie will be receiving an English subtitled region B release from Tanuko, but they only ship within the Schengen area. Hope they didn't receive a broadcast/streaming master with epilepsy edits like Golgo 13 this time.

It's kind of a pain to get replacement parts/runners if you're not in Japan or US and then you also need to pay for shipping. Since the parts are just joints, consider grabbing them from the bootleg on AliExpress.

The Japanese Blu-ray pre-order campaign had an English subs stretch goal (1.000 pre-orders), but it wasn't met (~600 pre-orders).
