Firstly - love the steelbook proof we had in here - it uses a lovely gloss and the white layers are just perfect on it so I think folks won't be upset when they see the final piece.
Secondly - there's not much official keyart to work from and having seen the other keyart used on the Amazon JP Steelbook I can safely say this was the better choice now.
Re AL LE - Yes, we're doing one, just hasn't been listed yet as it'll come a little after November 6th (still before Christmas in the UK). There'll be more details forthcoming when it exits approval as I don't want to waste people's times on hypotheticals until it's signed off. There's a lot more pages in the book than the US one (just over double) as we translated the interviews etc too.
Will be cheaper than the Funimation one on SRP, likely to be lower on actual sales price at retail too by the by.

The CE on Amazon is the same as the steelbook on Zavvi as far as I'm aware.I currently have the Anime Limited CE locked in on Amazon for £20, as well as the steelbook on Zavvi for £25 ... I really like the look of the steelbook too. Hmm ... decisions, decisions ...
Even the steelbook packaging, or is there another CE with different outer packaging @anime_andrew?The CE on Amazon is the same as the steelbook on Zavvi as far as I'm aware.

I'll hold off and see what you do for a CE before I decide then.

Well, wouldn't that be swell.....You can love the artwork, but the end result just did not come out well I am afraid. The image was not optimal - it's the ephemeral mist that loans itself better to rigid artwork. So if you like it, you may well like the AL LE version *cough cough*.
Correct!

Just in case you missed it, there will be a more typical Anime Limited CE, it's just not been listed yet.Cool! With the Amazon CE being a steelbook too, guess I'll save myself a fiver then.
Speaking of artwork, you know what could have been cool? Using the inside of the Japanese steelbook, as our outside (then just have the title treatment in the space opposite Mitsuha's head):

I love the key art used for the Japanese steelbook's exterior, but agree that it may not look the best as a steelbook.

I was already buying both the steelbook and LE, but I really hope this whole "standard before the LE" thing doesn't become the norm. We've not really had standard BDs the same time as LEs thus far, and now there's two standards before CEs announced in the space of a week.
This sounds good to me so here's hoping.So basically I'm compiling this info as:
Anime Limited:
- Blu-ray & DVD
- Original Soundtrack from RADWIMPS (Japanese Version)
- Artbook
- "There's a lot more pages in the book than the US one (just over double) as we translated the interviews etc too."
- Chipboard Box
- Digipack
- Cheaper than Funimation's SRP
I'm half tempted to gift everyone I know a copy of Your Name on blu-ray this christmas.gift a few copies to family members
Not a bad idea, add a sticker on the shrink-wrap under the title and write, is [insert name here], for a personal touchI'm half tempted to gift everyone I know a copy of Your Name on blu-ray this christmas.
