Did the R1, 2-disk set of AZUMI actually get released on 11/21? There's a review of it here on DVDTalk, but none of the online retailers seem to have it in stock.

Did it get postponed?

i rented this last week at blockbuster.

Did you try diabolikdvd? They have 1 in stock.. unless someone else spots this post and takes it.

Ive seen it in stock at Borders b&m

ive seen it at walmart, though it is the shorter version of the film.

I've seen it at FYE. The security sticker on the top says something like "AZUMI 1," so I guess that means they have plans to release the second one as well.

Unfortunately, this release came three years after the movie was released on DVD in Japan with English subtitles. I think most Asian film fans had already seen it in one form or another.

I bought a copy at Borders several weeks ago, so I assume it came out on time or shortly thereafter.

Yep, there is an advert for the forthcoming sequel release inside the case.

Looks like I'm hitting a Borders or FYE. Thanks for the tips!

Don't forget to bring a coupon.

You rock, Max! Searched high and lo for a cupe to Borders and couldn't find one... Thanks very much.

Borders in Lewisville TX now has 2 left . Thanks for the savings Max!

This DVD is nowhere to be found in Canada especially in the B&M places and Amazon.ca has it on the dreaded 4-6 weeks wait for it. I placed an order anyways so hopefully my order goes through.

It's still in the save section on my Netflix queue.

I saw this at Walmart (2 disc) for $16.99. Is it a shorter version versus the import?...and would it be a good blind buy? The reviews I read were very mixed, but it looked very interesting...and I enjoy Zatoichi for what it's worth.

I bought the DVD from Amazon.ca and I'm happy with it. It's a "fun" movie and it's exactly what I expected.
