Five Centimetres Per Second Out 16 Aug 2011

Just a reminder that Manga UK DVD release of Makoto Shinka film: Five Centimetres Per Second will be out on 16 August 2011 and have an RRP of £17.99

 

[Just Passing Through]

I don't think so...

AoL have it at that date, but Play.com and HMV have it listed for 16.8.2011. While Manga's PR company haven't got it listed for August.

Might be worth tweeting Manga to check

EDIT: Also notable is that it hasn't been rated by the BBFC yet.

 

[Zin5ki]

Rating it will be interesting. The most objectionable content the film features is a man smoking.

(I myself am one of the few lucky people to have obtained the R1 release whilst it was still in print.)

 

[ilmaestro]

Joke thread?

I honestly don't know if this is serious or not.

(I myself am one of the few lucky people to have obtained the R1 release whilst it was still in print.)

I, too, obtained the R1 while it was still available (all of four months). That it remains out of print in the US, and is still awaiting a UK release, is one of the biggest mysteries the world has ever known.

AND WHERE'S MAH BLU RAY!?

 

[ilmaestro]

/strokes Blu-ray version

 

[Project-2501]

How long?? Dear oh dear, this title really did get stuck in licensing hell.

Zin5ki, surely the worst bit is the dub?

 

[Zin5ki]

There's a dub?
Egad, it appears there is.

 

[Project-2501]

There are two! The ADV dub and a later one.

Amazon: 'This title will be released on August 16, 2010.'

Hmm. I was really looking forward to this aswell :|

Amazon: 'This title will be released on August 16, 2010.'

Hmm. I was really looking forward to this aswell :|

Obviously a typo by Amazon. Not the first time really. :wink:

 

[The Mad Professor]

Note that 16 Aug 2011 is a Tuesday, not a Monday :|

 

[Mohawk52]

But it is a Monday this year. :wink: Anybody know if Shinkai is still living in London?

 

[The Mad Professor]

Indeed - I wonder where the real typo is? I know he stayed in London for a while after 5cm, but not sure on what terms.

 

[Mohawk52]

Well he was here allegedly learning English. I can't find his blog anymore.

 

[kippy666]

What? We have to wait that long? Wonder if there's any chance of them moving it forward.

 

[Reaper gI]

was also listed on here as originaly coming out on 17/05/2010.
Also why would there by an RRP on a title coming out in over a year.
Unless they realy did shift the release date by a whole year and not chnge the 16 to a 15.
Either way this does not look good, it likely means licensing issues.

 

[Shiroi Hane]

Well, the date for the Karas blu-ray on Amazon has changed more than once as I recall.

 

[HdE]

I've seen some WELL weird release dates for things on Amazon.

5th October 2054 was the crowning glory!

 

[JohnC]

Well, the date for the Karas blu-ray on Amazon has changed more than once as I recall.

I had it pre-ordered last year and, I can't quite remember if it was the day of supposed release or the day before, it suddenly shifted forward a year!
