The not sure that they will ever release Naruto to Blu-Ray but will see what Viz does. But as far as they are concern no HD master = No Blu-Ray release.

Thank the lord they are not releasing that shudder inducing abominal disgrace of a movie that came with Street Fighter 4. In fact I think all existing copies of that OVA need to burned, and we should all try our best to erase it from our memory.

Everyday I ask myself, why did I waste an hour of my life watching that thing?
 
Yeah, I would probably look into a complete series set too.

As for:

"Survey: Would you buy UK edition #LaughingMan #Individual11 and #SolidState Blu-rays? What's a reasonable price per disc?"

No, but only because I already own the Japanese BDs, and about £16RRP for the compilations, £20RRP for SSS, but would be a way better idea to just release SSS.
 
The reason there won't be a Soul Eater boxset until 2011, is that Part Four is not out on DVD until 27th December - thats kind of "no news"!
 
I don't particularly like compilation movies, so I'll skip the GitS compilations on BD. I would buy both series if they released those though. But that's probably unlikely any time soon especially if they are doing the compilation movies.

Awesome. More stuff we won't get.

Compilation movies just seem like a runners up prize for the UK because we aren't a big enough market to justify a full release.

This country is so much fail. When do we get to be AUSCANZUKUS?

Think you have missed the point there. Its not that they aren't releasing one this year that's important, but it's actually that it likely that a box set is to be released at all. Again it's to easy to assume that every Manga release will have Box Set at some point.
 
Bit more disappointment regarding Blu-rays but then again im not surprised. I suppose people will always go for the cheaper version when it comes to dvd/bluray, but i do remember awhile ago that when Evangelion was released both versions sold comparable sets (50/50 i think)
 
It's probably easier to ask them what BD's they are releasing.

Also, I'm fairly curious on what the BD situation is regarding Death Note. Anyone know?

I may not even be a fan of this series but even I have to ask, if there aren't any HD masters, then what on earth are the French releasing? It may just be the first six movies but they still have a BLU-RAY release there.
