Amazon Japan have just posted pictures of the Freedom Blu-ray boxset. If things go to plan we should be getting the exact same thing as this:
It has to be said, this looks absolutely stunning in every aspect. I want to preorder it ASAP, it's just not listed on any sites yet.
And I seriously hope there will be more than 1 new simultaneous release announced sometime in the rest of 2008.

That's a nice looking SSS edition Andrew - might seriously think about that. the lack of a Japanese audio track wouldn't bother me as I already have a copy, and the GITS dub cast are excellent anyway. However, how much of the stuff included is in French? :lol:beez_andrew said:if you do crave a more LE version and are not a dub-hater then this release comes with the UK dub on it but no sub track for English and is a beautiful die-cut box that comes with storyboards, GitS SSS OST and more I think as I recall (I have a copy on my shelf actually xD).
With Zeta we've not yet released it because at present the rights are not available - but we're looking into it as the reworked movies are a good way to educate people about UC Gundam without having them buy X number of DVDs in a series for it. Not the first Gundam on my list of want to acquire atm though I do confess if given a choice between it and certain others...
With regards to the Zeta films, I was thinking that you'd be more likely to release the films than the series. As for Gundam priorities, of course - I realize Double Zeta should come first - even if I am the only one who buys it. :wink: Seriously though, I'd be happy with any unreleased UC stuff, but if it's any of the OVAs (War In The Pocket, Stardust Memory, 08th MS Team) I wouldn't mind a little hint as I'm thinking of importing these. I suspect however that it's something a little newer that's on your mind...

could you tell me Andrew, when you said that the wolfs rain deffinitive edition was limited to 500 and individually numbered for the uk market, did you mean that there are a only going to be 500 hundred released altogether in the uk, or only 500 at the london expo? sorry if this sounds stupid
cause if theres only 500 coming out I better pre order asap!
thanks

Just a quick question,when you say you will have the Wolf's rain box set at the expo,do you mean the midlands or the london one or both?

You wouldn't be talking about Gundam 00 there would you
though if you want to do a surpising move and announce Turn A Gundam for release then i wouldn't mind :wink: (i would buy that subbed in the same condition as the 0083 movie Beez released)--Sigil--Otaku--

Yep that sums the answer up - it's basically as definitive a release as you're going to get in the world of Wolf's Rain in one deliberate package anyway as you get:
- The complete series
- The OVAs
- The OST that is licensed for release in UK and US now.
- Artwork and storyboards in one complete book
In one package - which is more inclusive than any other set you'll find in the world
.Sorry the second soundtrack couldn't be included - but you can find it for sale on the usual sites that stock J-CDs though and it's well worth a purchase
.Also apologies for late delays to everyone, been very very busy as late so you can see I'm writing these in my own time at present!

I can confirm they'll look like the images in original post except the cases will be the correct colour for the UK release (i.e. Blu) we have some samples in our office that attest to this - can see if I have time to take some shots of them sometime!
They'll be retailing at £69.99, which means odds are you can get them on the likes of Play.com and bandai.co.uk for circa £55 so a bargain for a 4 Blu-Ray set + extra manga story for Freedom!
We should have a few on sale at London Expo in October (a press release to follow soon as we have some pretty interesting things lined up to coincide with that along with our friends at Koei relating to Gundam)!

We have some volumes left so they should still be available - how many volumes of it are you lacking
