Freezing US Blu Ray is region A/B as well I believe.

I'll be able to confirm that once my copy arrives (UP are on a go slow on this release as they still have it as coming soon even though it has just been released).Just Passing Through said:It's been reported that Daily Lives of High School Boysfrom NISA is listed as Regions A,B & C
SnowWolf said:Does anyone know if the new "Grave of the Fireflies" release is region locked?
Or the standard edition of "Black Butler" season 2?

By new, you mean the Studio Canal version or the Australian version? Both are most likely locked to Region B only.
Black Butler Season 2 is Region A and B (BD) with Region 1 (DVD). Both Standard and Limited Edition since it's the same discs.
SnowWolf said:Neither, the new US release by Section 23.

Also, are Aniplex USA releases working in Region B? More precisely Bakemonogatari+Nisemonogatari.

The bypass trick is basically where you have a Sentai Blu-ray title playing on your region B player (or PlayStation 3) and be able to bypass the Region Lock screen to watch all the content the disc can provide.
Myself and others have been doing this for various Sentai titles including Angel Beats, Clannad, Infinite Stratos, The World God Only Knows (Season 1 and 2) and UN-GO.
There's also a thread that explains a bit more.
As for the Aniplex USA titles, so far most titles released on Blu-ray have been region free. All DVDs are locked to Region 1.
Examples of Blu-ray titles region free from Aniplex USA:
Baccano!
Bakemonogatari
Blue Exorcist
Durarara!!
Nisemonogatari
Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Volumes 1, 2 & 3)
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Film 1 and 2 [Import]
So far no one has mentioned or confirmed Gurren Lagann, Oreimo: Season 1, R.O.D. TV and Sword Art Online so they're probably also region free.
Viz Media releases also work by pressing the Main Menu button, but I've only tried it with both parts of Tiger & Bunny and the first part of Lagrange.Tind said:I tried that method on my Region B PS3 player and it really works on Sentai discs, nice way to cheat this stupid system It skips the Sentai logo, intro trailer and main menu and jumps to the first episode instead. Just for fun I checked Shakugan no Shana S01 and seems FUNimation disabled "Go to" on their discs...another fumy things is I tried Bunny Drop Premium Edition from NISA too and even though it only writes "Region A" on the box, it plays without any problem on a Region B PS3. Oh well, seems I just use my Toshiba BDX3200 for FUNimation Region A releases and play anything else on the PS3.
Thx for the tip
