Anybody know if "Sky Blue" is going to release anytime soon ?
It is an anime, in case you are wondering.
thanks

Yeah, I'm curious too since I wasn't able to catch it during the week it was in the theater.

This is a very nice dvd of the Sky Blue (aka, Wonderful Days) that's been available for a while:

I assume you were talking about non US version.
Does it has US subtitle ?

thanks

slop101

Yes, it has English subtitles - but only for the movie. The extras are not subbed - but you can figure out what's going on without them.

The Korean release of "Wonderful Days" is hard-coded for Region 3.

It has a superb full bit-rate DTS track, in addition to the cool packaging pictured above.

That is just a beautiful packaging.
I guess there is no US release then ?
By the way, is the movie any good ?

thanks

The movie's okay - very cliched chracters/story. But it's wroth seeing/owning for it's art, look and animation.

The style of the movie is amazing, a mix of hand-drawn animation, CGI, and live-action miniatures. It all blends together seamlessly. It looks great and has a lot of terrific action sequences.

As slop101 says, the story is OK. It's boilerplate anime sci-fi with a heavy-handed environmental message. It's not bad, and the movie keeps you interested, but the story is something that's been done before in many other, better movies.

I'd recommend it, preferably in the original Korean with subtitles, and also preferably in the "Director's Cut" in the R3 deluxe packaging pictured above.

Is the R3 release still the winner? I'd still like to see this movie, I found a dusty old quicktime trailer for the movie that reminded me to look for it again.
