Optimum releasing has sent out a release list of upcoming Blu-ray releases due in October, and among them is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, scheduled for release on the 18th of October.
 
Just time to post a quick "Helll yes" before heading back to work. Helll yes because my iPod changes the correct spelling to he'll automatically and I don't know how to stop it.

Ghibli is the rare case in which UK anime fans actually get one over on the US. Not only have we had releases here that they haven't (Only Yesterday, Ocean Waves) but we got 'em in better video quality (from Madman's Australian PAL masters). No Disney deal to compromise anything this side of the pond, thankfully.

I imagine the BD releases will be the same the world over; though unlike Japan, Disney will undoubtedly region lock their US releases (avowed market protectionists that they are).
 
Unfortunately some of the Optimum Ghibli releases were NTSC > PAL conversions (not sure which ones offhand). Those are the ones I'm most interested in replacing, though I imagine I'll be buying any and all Ghibli on BD from Optimum.

Most of the US anime studios are region locking their BDs as well. I thought it would be less of an issue what with the US and Japan sharing the same region this time around, but that's not the case.

Movie Nausicaa is ok... I'll need to see a Blu-Ray / DVD combo though.

If it comes in a Ponyo deluxe style box, count me in. Though this trend towards combo packs is going to leave me with a lot of coasters which never see the inside of a DVD player.

Speaking of which, it's probably time to flog my Ghibli DVDs as a job lot while they're still worth something.

I'm not sure what's going on with Funimation. Some of their releases (including FMA: Brotherhood and Ouran) are A & B, but a lot of them aren't. I'm hearing that Casshern Sins is region A only, which has thwarted my plan to import it. Sigh.
