On 27th October, MVM Entertainment were set to release a complete DVD collection of&nbsp;<strong>The Garden of Sinners</strong>, a series of eight movies based on a series of light novels by Kinoku Nasu (<em>Fate/stay night</em>). Today however, the distributor took to Twitter to announce that as a result of the release's rigid artbox taking longer to print than expected, the release date has been pushed back to&nbsp;<strong>24th November</strong>.

MVM's release of ufotable's acclaimed film series is set to include all eight films in the aforementioned rigid art box, as well as a 36 page colour booklet and 14 postcards.

MVM describes the series as the following:

After spending two years in a coma due to a traffic accident, Shiki Ryougi awakens with amnesia. In turn, however, she finds that she has also obtained the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception," with which she can see the invisible lines of mortality that hold every living and non-living thing together. Working for a small independent agency, Shiki attempts to unravel the baffling mystery behind a series of abnormal, horrifying incidents, but do they foreshadow something even more tragic and ominous?

Things are not what they appear to be on the surface, but what dark revelations lie underneath? Shiki must tackle supernatural incidents with her special abilities while searching for a reason to live.

Due to the people involved in the production of The Garden of Sinners, I am really tempted to watch it but...I'm not sure if I could justify £60 for a blind buy...
 
I spent quite a lot more than £60 on a blind buy and thought it was fabulous - some films are better than others but it's a musical and visual feast if you don't mind a bit of gruesome violence. If you're interested in the staff already then I can't imagine you would be disappointed.

Don't mind waiting tbh on this one, as it was a blind buy - but November is certainly starting to look like a very busy month for new releases.

I gather this series is somehow linked to Tsukihime and Fate Stay Night?

No link, Kara no Kyoukai is a standalone series from any other works, it just so happens to be animated by Ufotable who worked on Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero.

There is of course, Kara no Kyoukai: Mirai Fukin which is the next instalment after the main 8 films which probably won't get a localisation for a long time.
 
Another disappointed voice for blu-ray absence here. I didn't even realize until I went to actually order it. Cheapest I could find the japanese box was £270 + shipping from Japan, so that's a no go too. :(

Huh.. the one on Amazon JP is £185. Add the £8 postage plus the optional Import payment = £230. Yeah it's pricey but nowhere near £270.
It's not optional when you order from Amazon JP, you have to pay the import deposit. If it's not claimed then they refund you, but that's only happened to me once.

The only reason I said optional is because sometimes the import payment doesn't show up on the order, but in the end you pay it no matter what.
 
All the Amazon JP sellers only list domestic shipping, but apparantly you could order internationally too. I still ended up at £225.

I imported the first limited edition Japanese DVD volume not long after it was released as soon as I saw pictures of the packaging and screenshots, and pre-ordered all the rest as they became available.
