I would be careful with MovieMars; they don't maintain their own stock, they just order through a supplier when they need to fill your order. That's why they're slow. It's fine if you order something in print, but if you order something out of print or otherwise not readily available, you'll end...

They couldn't have used anything else; that's the only HD master that exists. The only other option would be an upscale of the DVD (which just reused the laserdisc master); obviously way too poor a source to be usable. That's just not going to happen, so it's definitely the same master as...

Hey, at that pace we're right on track for a December 2026 release of season 3.

I'm wondering if the Manga UK BD of Gargantia is better than the Viz release. The listings on blu-ray.com suggest that they're different discs (supposedly the audio on the Viz discs is 16 bit DTS, while the Manga UK discs are supposedly 24 bit PCM). This review claims that the UK discs were...

Anyone know if Anime Limited's release of "The God of High School" is just a clone of the Viz release, or an improved encode like Tower of God and In/Spectre were?

Has Anime Limited given any indication as to whether they might release season 2 of Tonikawa?

Obviously I can't say this with 100% certainty when the disc isn't even out yet, but I think it's probably going to be the same disc. If you're releasing it in both territories, it's just cheaper and simpler to do it that way.

Anyone else following this stream consider it a massive disappointment? It's almost over, and most of the announcements are western cartoons or live action stuff. And of the few things they have announced (7 anime titles out of 22 announcements), almost half are previously released titles...

While that's true, conversely, it also makes it dramatically more likely you won't be able to watch the whole show. 12 discs (for a 50 episode show on DVD) means a 12 times greater chance one or more discs will fail, and then you still don't have the whole show. The way I see it, if the show...

Would be nice if they were releasing seasons 2 and 3, but I assume it's just season 1.

Question unrelated to the sale; did Anime Limited ever give any indication as to whether they had plans to release season 2 of Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045? I'm hoping they wouldn't release just the first half, but I'm not sure that can be taken as a given. I know a lot of people aren't fond of...

Lots of stuff going out of print isn't a surprise; Justin warned that Discotek's owner was wanting to clear a lot of their older titles out of the warehouse to make room for new stuff. So consider any of Discotek's titles that have been in print a few years to be possibly at risk of disappearing...

Question about Manga/Crunchyroll UK sublicensed releases of US Viz BDs; what are the subtitles like? Viz's releases have subtitles without much of a border; they blend into the background and can be difficult to read. My question is, are the Manga/Crunchyroll UK discs for those titles exactly...

Regarding Nadia's packaging, their description's pretty vague: "The full set of discs are stored within a rigid slipcase." Is that a digipak? Amaray cases? Maybe that hasn't been determined yet, since there aren't really packaging shots?

Wait, it does include English subtitles? Are you absolutely sure? Everything I've seen said it only had the English dub, which is why I never picked it up.

For non-Aniplex titles, I know the 90s Berserk TV on BD would be one; that's never gotten a BD release in the US. But I suppose I see your point; if MVM has poor sales expectations, even relatively limited costs might not seem worthwhile. It's interesting that DVDs are still considered viable...

A licensor restriction very well might be the reason, but that's a completely different reason than the one I was questioning. Just thought the idea that the U.S. release being DVD only as the limiting factor was odd, considering the number of UK only BD releases.

New transfer? One already exists, as I mentioned in the very post you quoted. That's my whole point; the materials already exist, and a new transfer isn't required. If it was DVD only in Japan, I wouldn't even wonder about it.

I don't see how that explains it; MVM's released things like Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs, which never got released in the U.S. at all, on blu-ray. Also, Air has a blu-ray release in Japan; it was one of the earliest anime releases on BD, way back in 2006. So the materials already exist for BD.

Any particular reason to think that? Because to me, it looks like AL licensed Kakegurui planning on using the Netflix dub, but the extreme delay for a release makes me think they had trouble getting it. Either it's taking this long to negotiate a workable price, or AL gave up on releasing the...
