Does anyone know what the best price for Jin-Roh on Blu-ray is? And would Right Stuf still be able to sell it even though it says 'On Order From Manufacturer' on it's page? I mean, I would wait for a Bandai sale and see if it was included in whatever percentage off they have... but I'm worried it's not even available there anymore.

If anyone has it and is willing to part with it I'd be willing to spend $60 shipped for it.

Not very many retailers stock this release. TRSI list this under as a Honneamise label product. Therefore it won't qualify during a regular BEI studio sale.

The best price that I can see is from dot-anime.us. They have it for $63.99 and it's currently in-stock. However they do charge S/H (it's based on weight and your location).

Thanks WTK.

I looked around and noticed that Anime Nation also has it... with shipping and the 10% off code applied (double thanks!) it would be $68. With Dot-Anime.Us it would cost me $76. Do you think there is a good chance that Anime Nation still does have Jin-Roh in stock? They don't have a counter like the other site does.

I'm also curious as to if you have this particular BD. If you do, I'm wondering what you think of the quality. The reviews seem pretty positive but you seem like a good person to ask. The movie is one of my favorite anime films, that I already know, but I'm wondering if the jump to Blu-ray would really be worth it. My instinct tells me yes but my wallet is trying to tell me no.

I don't think they have this in-stock. Their site much like RACS don't say whether regularly stocked products are actually in-stock or not. If you really want to know, just contact them and find out.
I don't own this release and I haven't seen this, so I can't really count on this Blu-ray release. Here is the DVD Talk review if you haven't seen it yet. I have the AL release, but I haven't watched it yet. For me, this Blu-ray release is just way too expensive for my taste...

I only saw anime on Blu-Ray once - Freedom series. The picture looks much cleaner than regular DVD. I wonder if Jin-Roh would be same as Freedom...

hi everybody! For once, I actually have a question that needs answering!
So, awhile back, I purchased Moribito vol. 1+2 +artbox from TRSI. I haven't opened it yet, but according to the website, it says 'episodes 1-7'.
Now fast forward to today.
I've worked for Walmart for a very long time, and when I see anime being sold in my department, i'm usually very happy! So lo and behold when I arrive today I see that we got Moribito as a new release for only $19.96!
This is where I get confused: Disc package clearly states that it is a 6-disc set. But there's only 10 episodes! Is there only 2 episodes per disc and then a bonus disc of extras? Why waste DVD production costs for so few episodes per disc and then charge so little? The extras on the box were of nothing spectacular; clean OP and ED, trailers, etc.
I would direct you to the website, but it is OOS and has no info on the product except the release date. I've tried checking AoD with no help. If you guys have any info to what that's SO cheap (even for anime and Walmart), please let me know!

Either way, this is a FANTASTIC series that I highly recommend to everyone and you really can't beat the price!
Thanks for your time!

I would treat it as a Walmart exclusive, which is rarely done for anime. The pics taken by someone @ AoD should answer your question. In short, it's basically a 6-disc release that covers 10 episodes (2 eps. per DVD). It's kind of wasteful and R2J-like. And $19.96 is not a bad price for the first 10 episodes. It's too bad the video quality isn't as good as you would expect...

• Front cover
• Back cover
• Inside Case & Discs

yup, that's it! Well Thanks for the verification. Thought it was weird.
So, is the video quality the same or better/worse for the standard single disc releases?

There were video quality issues with the bundle releases. Considering that this series had HD sources, the DVD video quality could be better. I don't if it will be the same or not for this Walmart release. It can be one of those things that may affect some, but not others (YMMV depending on your setup).

Hmm looks like I'm going to have to make a trip to Wal-Mart soon.

has anyone received their Berserk Remastered Box Set from the borders deal (get the remastered set for $24) and if so, do you have pics of it you could post? I have received no e-mail or anything about it shipping and im very curious about what it looks like

Media Blasters pushed this title back to March.

Damn...kind of annoying they (borders) don't notify you of this....thanks for the update tho Sweet Baby...James :-D

1,000th post! SAHWEEET! and now im officially DVD TALK Special Edition...makes my day!

FYI: Those with Blu-Ray might want to hold off on purchasing Funi's newer releases as they're jumping big into the format this year. I suspect titles like Darker than Black and Claymore (already released on Blu overseas) could be released here before the year's end. Afro-Samurai Pt 2 and Samurai 7 is coming out next month (provided they don't push it back again).

You still have couple thousands posts left to catch up with my padding posts.

Some post quantity, while others post quality.

March 10th to be exact. This release is basically done, but...read more if you like. The delay excuse is rather lame...

Let's here...not counting the DBZ Double Features
Afro Samurai: Resurrection
Samurai 7
Shigurui: Death Frenzy

Possibly coming soon...
Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE Season 1
CLAMP Double Feature (Tsubasa / xxxHOLiC)
Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa

There is definitely more Blu-ray releases coming from FUNimation. Darker than BLACK has some possibilities. FUNimation has released a HD trailer for it (I believe it was in Vexille Blu-ray release). Regardless I don't think Claymore and Darker than BLACK will be released in Blu-ray this year. The singles need to be finished releasing and then there is the DVD boxset release. Anything is possible, but I don't see this happening this fast.

^ unfortunately shipping and tax kills the deal unless you're ordering over $100...c'mon secondspin...bring back the 20% off + free shipping...

what do you mean "padding" posts?

I am dying for a Secondspin coupon again as well. I couldn't get to the 30$ on the last one.

Has anyone heard anything about a FLCL re-release?

I don't like buying the questionable imports. But there's no way I'm paying the outrageous prices these OOP discs are fetching. If a re-release is hopeful, I'll hold out.

Amazon.com is having a buy 1 get 1 free on some of their dvds right now. Blood+ Part One box set($83.99) as well as the singles (vol 1 and 2 $16.99 each) are on the list. If you can find a friend to split the cost with you like I did, it becomes a really good deal. If not, $8.50 for the single release isn't too bad either.
