Re: Upcoming U.S. Anime Releases - 2012 Edition
I was wondering if there are any any chance this goes down below $50..
Are there any Jewelries or Gold hidden inside the set to have a price of $369

Re: Upcoming U.S. Anime Releases - 2012 Edition
Right now there is no chance of this getting below $50 for Blu-ray. If Aniplex of America decides to release the DVD format, it will be possible to get close to that price.
Kazé France is planning to release the series late this year (in 2 sets for DVD, Blu-ray). The problem is the Region (pretty much guaranteed to be B) and the lack of English option.

Re: Discotek Media / Eastern Star September 2012 Solicitation
In the 21st century, mankind lives on two worlds. Following the collision of an ice asteroid, massive terraforming has made Venus a planet now capable of supporting life. Colonists from Earth tamed the hostile world and have thrived for four generations. But they also brought the darker side of humanity. Venus is about to become hostile again. Vicious gangs roam the streets and rivaling nations battle for supremacy. Hiro, a hotshot motorcycle jockey, and Susan Somers, a feisty Earth journalist, are caught in the crossfire as war explodes on Venus!

Re: Upcoming U.S. Anime Releases - 2012 Edition
Does anybody know if generally, in cases like the Armitage DVD set listed, the studio will just slap the previous discs into a new case or if there's a chance of remastered/new prints, new extras, etc.?
Also, where are good places to go online for Anime reviews? Especially ones that make critical reference to picture and extras as compared to previous editions.

Re: Upcoming U.S. Anime Releases - 2012 Edition
I luckily already have the OAV DVD. I am just secretly hoping that they have a new transfer as doing a side-by-side comparison of my old Pioneer laserdiscs shows that they have a sharper picture with much better detail than the DVD. If only they didn't have color bleed issues with large amounts of red.... But they did come with wonderful fold-out posters in each LD with character design sketches on the backs.

It's crazy to think that this was how anime was sold back then at $30 an episode.

Re: Warner Home Video October 2012 Solicitation
I don't get why they aren't releasing Blu-ray for the new ThunderCats. I stopped buying DVD's about a year ago, so it's just lost sales. The iTunes release is HD though but as normal with iTunes, that release has terrible banding issues and poor encoding.

Re: Aniplex of America July 2012 Solicitation
I love this show. But that price is still too high for me. Maybe if it was a Blu-ray with an English Dub. I guess I'll wait until it goes on sale.
