1 & Only Studio Ghibli Thread
How is U.S. fairing on the Studio Ghibli Blu-ray releases versus select countries around the world? As many should know already, we are still quite a bit behind.
Iblard Jikan (music only OVA) and Lupin the III: The Castle of Cagliostro to the overall list. Panda! Go Panda! is also included with a Italian Blu-ray release (no Japan Blu-ray release). The overall list utilizes 8 other countries outside of the U.S. as comparison (AU = Australia, DE = Deutschland / Germany, FR = France, HK = Hong Kong, IT = Italy, JP = Japan, TW = Taiwan, and UK = United Kingdom).
Iblard Jikan (music only OVA) (2007)
No Blu-ray releases in Japan at the moment...

I would love to have Castle of Cagliostro on Blu. It needs a bit of restoration.
Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke are Ghibli's masterpieces, what could possibly be holding them up?

Ghibli played this same crap when releasing their DVDs initially, it took years for them to trickle out. Highly irritating.
