Apparently there will be something "unexpected" about Dynit's release of Future Boy Conan. Dare I hope for...English subtitles?!
I hope so, but mp3dom posted a similar message on Italian forum PluschanApparently there will be something "unexpected" about Dynit's release of Future Boy Conan. Dare I hope for...English subtitles?!
Thanks for that detailed summary. I was considering tracking down the OOP DVDs of Kashimashi, so that licence rescue is great news. Dear Brother looks great too.
- Dear Brother - Blu-ray
All 39 episodes remastered in High Definition, Osamu Dezaki's 1991 Tezuka Production series, Japanese with English subtitles. The license window is much shorter than the other Discotek licenses, about 1-2 years this time.- Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ - Blu-ray
All 12 episodes & OVA upscaled to High Definition, Nobuaki Nakanishi's 2006 Studio Hibari series, English & Japanese with English subtitles. Rescued from Media Blasters with all bonus features included. Newly-revised subtitles and "much more careful about gender and pronouns". Coming 25th May 2021- Project A-Ko
AstroRes restoration has been cancelled, because they were able to find the original 35mm film elements thanks to AnimEigo's Robert Woodhead (a clerical error previously prevented them from getting it in the first place). The film will still come to Blu-ray and previous extras will carry over. New cover art on the slipcover will be designed by Mariel "Kinuko" Cartwright who worked on Skullgirls and Indivisible games.
Is the Dear Brother/Oniisama e blu-BD region free? Dear Brother/Oniisama is my favourite anime of all time and I would love to own it? Do these releases play on region 2 players?
I purchased mine from Amazon if that helps at all?Thank you for your quick and kind answer! I guess I have to buy a multi-region player from somewhere.
//EDIT: Does anyone know where I can buy a multi-region player? Also, do you think there's any chance or hope for Anime Limited to license Rose of Versailles or Dear Brother for UK release?

Due to licensing, 98% of Discotek Media Blu-ray releases are Region A only sadly.Thank you for your quick and kind answer! I guess I have to buy a multi-region player from somewhere.

Oh, damn, I had hope that since AllTheAnime licensed Utena and have released so many Gundam anime with 50 episodes they would nowadays be more willing to license older anime with 30 - 50 episodes. Oh well, I guess I just have to accept that I will never be able to own Oniisama e and Rose of VersaillesDue to licensing, 98% of Discotek Media Blu-ray releases are Region A only sadly.
Regarding the Osamu Dezaki directed shows, I know Anime Limited's French branch released Lady Oscar a few years back and while both would fit well into their UK catalogue, the issue would come down to the episode length as 40 episodes for a subtitled only niche (but well regarded) series can be a cost issue thanks to the BBFC once again.
I would say never say never though, but if nothing happens for the next while then go for the Discotek release, but only if you can secure a region free Blu-ray player.
Yeah, but again never say never, because we have witnessed some unexpected outcomes in recent years, for instance all 70 episodes of Cardcaptor Sakura and the first season of InuYasha (which the show overall is 167 episodes long, though most of Season 1 was already BBFC'd beforehand) are coming soon so they do take risks for some long shows.Oh, damn, I had hope that since AllTheAnime licensed Utena and have released so many Gundam anime with 50 episodes they would nowadays be more willing to license older anime with 30 - 50 episodes.
