ANIME ON BLU-RAY!

keirarts · #1 17th December 2012, 09:05 AM

Just thought i'd start a thread here where people can post their finds and wants for anime blu-ray releases. America seems to be well supplied with the uk once again lagging behind. Best example is the BLACK LAGOON blu-rays released as seperate series over here the americans get BOTH at roughly the same price!!!

Attachment 93968

Though none of the box sets contain the more recent third mini-series ROBERTAS BLOOD TRAIL.

I'll stick up a few pics of stuff i'm looking at at the moment. If I ever win the lottery i'm going to need a bigger house!

Could swear KAZE where releasing BL:RBT on BD...Blu-ray.com **** up again.
The Berzerk:EotK BD is steller, amazing animation. The Hellsing OVAs are getting re-released on BD also, ultra gore in HD! Also.I heard Kite and Meso Forte (non-XXX editions) where getting the BD treatment, being a fave of a certain Q.T.

I've been holding out on hellsing ultimate expecting a blu-ray release so thats good news, ordered the ltd edition version of berserk, and I have the dvd release double bill of mezzo and kite. kite.jpg

The tv series of mezzo is well worth seeking out as well!

Frankley I've only watched the X versions of Kite and Meso Forte once each, they feel more awkward than any of the XXX scene's in Beast in Space! Also there not very good porn, so they fail on even a basic level. On an entertaining level there awsome, hyper violent beast that are awsome on every level. Not good like Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop, but they have competant story line's and good (for the time) animation. There also 'Spiritual sisters' so belong together in any format. Epic double bill in HD awaits us.

Couple of recent pick ups:
I understand Penguindrum is coming from KAZE but only on DVD. I'm not sure, KAZE's DVD's are always over priced and I tend to have a knack at catching there BD's on the cheap so I dont know if i'll double dip.

This one looks kinda cool. Is it worth picking up?

PokÃ©mon forever means that they will never die, doesn't it?

I've got the blu and it looks lovely, if you like the film it's worth buying. The packaging is really nice too, same as the Ponyo limited edition.

I highly recommend this series, it's only 12 episodes, and doesn't have any robots or demons in it

but it does have jazz and a love triangle and teenagers coming to terms with growing up. It's also from the creators of Cowbow Beebop, Macross and Ghost In The Shell. BD out in June.

I watched the first three episodes over the week end and it is indeed a highly enjoyable little drama. I'll be picking this up.
