Temporary thread being split and merged I really hate those darned book publishers - they always release the big new titles by people I like in that ruddy expensive hardback format, when all I want is a cheap paperback. I know it's a more durable item, and the author gets more royalties, and...

I know, I know. I just hoped it was secretly region free. I can't justify a risky purchase like that when I own the uber-dvd boxes (now worthless)....

If anyone gets the new US release of Gatchaman I'd appreciate a region report....

I think the digital copies and dvd versions are nice freebie extra - certainly shouldn't bump up the price though - many of us can't rip a bluray to make a mobile version for ipads, laptops, or we have friends and family without bluray. I dont understand this anger against them though...

I want the crappy dvds with my bluray! It's me they're targeting!

Really couldn't get on with Crest of the Stars - couldn't identify with a main character collaborating with the alien oppressors.... Did wonder if there was a weird subtext and Japan and the USA post-WWII...

Re: MVM licenses Patlabor OVA BD/DVD and Linebarrels of Iron I got the Madman release of the Patlabor OAV (didn't know!) and I assume that MVM are sharing the production costs with them. I asked Madman if they were planning to do the TV series on blu, but they said no - only the 2nd OAV series...

Ooh so Patlabor tv works with the bypass method? Interesting....

I actually picked up Neo and MyM (or whatever) recently and both had fairly negative reviews of Bakemonogatari in them. I was shocked as I don't really know what the show is about, but had noticed that they have a significant buzz online and in anime fandom, and was looking forward to the bluray.

I very rarely double-dip, but Anime Limited, so far, are likely to get me to go Blu with every single title.

I have the Madman R4 dvd release of Wings from a few years ago. Great film, though the scene that was cut from the old Manga UK VHS release is troubling.

Recently picked up a bunch of Aussie blurays, including the Haruhi movie... works in my PS3, so I never really understood what went wrong with the UK release - they shared the authoring with Madman...

Might hang on for the Australian Patlabor releases - naturally UK compatible. I know it's apparently the way the Sentai discs are coded, but the paranoid part of me suspects that future player purchases and their software updates could block the workaround.

I think they missed a trick in not releasing the original OAV with the movies but I agree that the 47 episode TV series might be a tough sell. I still love it though. The third movie isn't as good as the earlier movies or the OAV, but it's nice to check in with old friends every once in a...

And a thread-bump because Patlabor is coming out on bluray in the USA and Australia... and I WANTS IT! (my precious)...

I think they're trying to evoke a classic Jazz vinyl sleeve - at least on the front panel, and I applaud the attempt. The US cover is a nice image from a nice anime, but downgrades the importance of the jazz. The Aus/UK cover echoes some of the classic graphic design of jazz 33's. But you're...
