Did the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex BRs ever come out in NA? The Japanese release has been out for a while now and I thought we were supposed to get a release in January but nobody will admit to stocking them.

Nate RFB posted:I do find it hard to believe the home video market will ever need more than 1920x1080. I know they are working on some pretty ridiculous resolutions beyond that, but unless home users start getting gargantuan TVs haven't we more or less hit the wall with regards to pixel density for home video? We have a little ways to go yet (an 80-inch Apple Retina display?), and remember there are substantial fractions of the world who don't have access to high-speed internet connections. Physical media will be around forever and commercially viable for another decade at least.

DamnGlitch posted:Yeah... but they'll probably have to redo the dub track then. And find all of the original VAs, again. Or buy the dub tracks from Bandai Ent... which seems like a long shot. May not be that long of a shot since BE is primarily about licensing now; hopefully they don't get too greedy about it.

Nate RFB posted:Yeah, but why even bother with the masters? One company has already done the Masters->BD process, it would save time/money/effort to just literally copy the digital files over. Just call up Geneon, ask to borrow their BDs for a bit. This is hilariously reminiscent of Tokyopop's "buy manga, microwave it apart, scan, and put in English text" approach to manga translation and distribution.

Mr. Stay-Puft posted:Turns out the Gurren Lagann BD set IS being "re-filmed" in HD and will include both of the movies and the Parallel Works. It will also include English subs for the series & movies and the English dub for the series. I might pay a tenth that. Lotsa luck, Japan.

If BakaBT doesn't come through or you're in some kind of account silliness there and can't search them I've found Kickass Torrents has a decent amount of stuff as well.

TenementFunster posted:my understanding is that Harmony Gold doesn't have the distribution rights to Macross Plus (and other non-SDF/DYRL properties) pursuant to a Japanese court case that I haven't read. Harmony Gold did trademark the term "Macross" in the US, so that trademark would need to be licensed. Last I checked, shouldn't Manga Ent. still have the distribution rights? Surely they know a Macross Plus bluray would be a strong seller. From the screenshots I've seen of the BD rip, it looks amazing. HG is probably straight up refusing to license the trademark to anybody else who distributes video and I doubt Manga has the cash reserves or the desire to throw down with HG over it. DamnGlitch posted:Manga Ent is full of poo poo lords and idiots. They sat on the rights for years and put out a poo poo version of End of Evangelion for fucks sake. They didn't even repress that poo poo to take advantage of Rebuild's popularity. This isn't helping their chances either.

RMZXAnarchy posted:That's just Aniplex being Aniplex in regards to the pricing. I've not noticed any glaring flaws with the two Kill La Kill sets they've put out but I figure if it was anything I wouldn't have noticed it unless somebody told me anyway. For the most part no, but if I'm dropping six bills on a TV show it better be the best version possible.

OZC posted:So if anyone has been holding out for BDs for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex with subs (since the JP BDs have the dub but no subs), there's a Korean BD box that just released that has the dub and subs for about $150. It's been confirmed that a box for 2nd GIG is planned for next year too. Worth checking out since Manga is unlikely to do anything but sit on it here. Thanks for posting; I jumped on it.

RMZXAnarchy posted:Sort of missing an opportunity there, aren't they? Expand the market a bit, but people who really want the drat thing will buy it anyway even if it does have no subs. If they sub it they weaken their negotiating position with Funimation or whoever tries to license it for US release. Not by much, but it's probably a concern for the execs.

OZC posted:I don't have the exact links since I'm on my phone but I linked to kimchidvd.com earlier in the thread. They have the exclusive release for the Korean market. The first season is out and 2nd Gig releases in March. $150 per set, JP and English audio and English subs. Only downside is there is no signs and songs track for use with the dub, but it's not critical. 1st Gig 2nd Gig I ordered the 1st season from them and got it quickly after release. I have a preorder for the 2nd Gig in already. I recommend kimchidvd unreservedly.
