Anyone want another LOL?

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

In other Studio Ghibli Blu-Ray news, it's now been confirmed that early December will see both Princess Mononoke and The Cat Returns released on Blu-Ray in Japan - both films will also be provided with English subtitles, although if you're willing to wait until 2014 we'll doubtless see both movies hit the UK in their remastered form as well.

WOO!!!

But I'm still waiting for Only Yesterday for the UK BD release. They'll probably leave that with Ocean Waves and release them together.

Speaking of Ghibli:

The European film distribution and sales company Wild Bunch and Studio Ghibli are teaming up again to offer Hayao Miyazaki's new film, The Wind Rises, in Europe. Disney will distribute the film in France. The film will make its North American premiere in Toronto next moth. The film is also expected to play in San Sebastian, Telluride and New York.

The film, which is Miyazaki's first feature film since Ponyo, is loosely based on the life of Jiro Horikoshi, the man who engineered the Zero fighter plane used by the Japanese during World War II.

Wild Bunch and Studio Ghibli have teamed up in the past; Wild Bunch also holds the European licenses for Spirited Away, Ponyo, and Howl's Moving Castle.

Also in regards to Blood+ that will highly never get a UK release - Sony who have the license in the US have too high an asking price - too high even Manga passed on it once.

Not sure if anyone else knows this, if so I apologise.

Here's one of Manga's comments on the matter:

We gave up on this license some time ago. Issue with access to English dub. Sorry!

it's strange to have [Fairy Tail] Part 5 on Blu-ray which is Season 2 and not Part 1-4. Doing a Hellsing Ultimate perhaps.

I seem to recall them saying on Twitter that they'd be doing BD for the later volumes and debating going back and re-releasing the rest.

Here we go:

So! I was wondering. Should Manga release #FairyTail Part 5 and 6 on Blu-ray next year or just DVD? >JM

Guys! I will cost up re-releasing Parts 1-4 on Blu-ray and see if we can make it work. >JM
