My-HiME vol.9
9/23/05| BCBA-2003| 7,140 yen (incl.tax)
source: bandaivisual

The last and final volume to my beloved series!!! Since this is the Directors's Cut, one will note the runtime on this. Other volumes have been mostly 70-80 mins ('cept for volume 1 of course which only had 2 episodes not incl. extras). This one however will be 102 minutes!!! I didn't see mention of a box unfortunately . Anyways, here are some more details on this release as usual and ppl who are more competent in Japanese, plz feel free to add and correct anything . So it will have the usual booklet, Costume change kit for the 3 figs that came in vol.6,7 and 8 (sadly i won't need the Mikoto costume). the 3 SP are Mai's Thoughts, Natsuki's Thoughts and Mikoto's Thoughts. Last, is the mention of the Director's Cut Special "Shining Days" (title of episode 26 and not OP song in case anyone forgot) - (i think) 20 mins cut of new stuff 'avant Title non-credit'.

Okay, so my JP isn't the best, but by using babelfish to help it looks like Captain is having the boxset re-released.

From the Play Ball (http://www.anime-playball.com/) official site. The first news item says something about a "re-sale decision".

I don't see a release date, but CDJAPAN (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVBA-14971) has it for 8/02.

There is also a small ad on the left about a DVD. It also looks like the first DVD of Play Ball, the new anime that starts this month that is the sequel to Captain, will be released 2005.9.28 at 2940 Yen. Unless I'm reading that wrong.

Okay, so after doing a search on Amazon, it looks like they have all the release dates up for 7 volumes of Play Ball.

They are re-priced and re-packaged re-releases. Ribbon no Kishi, for example, was released as two box sets back in 2002 for 23500 yen each, but now is one boxset at 19000 yen. It's a great deal, but with Kaitou Jeanne coming up in the next month I know I won't be able to afford it... I might try to squeeze it in anyway because I know they won't last long.

More Adachi Mitsuru goodness /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

Back in late June 2005 (link (http://forums.animeondvd.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&amp;Number=1050649&amp;page=&amp;view=&amp;s b=5&amp;o=&amp;vc=1)), I guessed that Adachi's Hiatari Ryokou would be next to get the DVD-Box treatment and it is spot on! /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif

They must have been emboldened by the recent successful DVD-Box releases of Touch and H2, two anime series based on Adachi Mitsuru's manga of the same respective names. Will the Slow Step OVA be next? /images/graemlins/happy.gif

Strangely Hiatari Ryoukou was one of the last 80's Adachi works that I read.

IIRC Thanatos also mentioned that Hiatari Ryoukou also a had a sequel?/side-story? movie that was not covered in the manga. I hope the movie is included in the box set.

I'm looking forward to it as well since I've only seen the OP to the series. Great song too.

Oh, and if you're a Adachi Mitsuru fan, check out the short promo clip for Idol Ace which littleharlock mentions in this thread. (http://forums.animeondvd.com/showflat.php?Cat=&amp;Number=1097356&amp;page=1&amp;view=colla psed&amp;sb=5&amp;o=&amp;fpart=1)

I hope so too. I would like to watch this series during the holidays, that gives me the chance to put in a few more hours. (I like to watch these types of stories in large batches, 6 or 7 episodes at a time, as opposed to other types where I'll only watch two or three.) Anyway, if the movie is just a side story I guess I can always watch it later.

I tend to love anime songs from that period. They don't make them that way anymore. It's all so cute and frenetic these days.

That was incredibly cool! Thanks for the link, I'd overlooked that thread. (And thanks to littleharlock for posting it.) Man, I'd love to watch a full movie with that kind of animation.

Shit! Hitari Ryoukou!

Shit! Kamekaze Kaitou Jeanne!

SHIT! Dragonar!

Too much to buy. /images/graemlins/stunned1.gif

We all realized once Touch was out after the lengthy gap of Miyuki, Hiatari Ryoukou! was just a matter of time because the anime version of HR might well be called "El Touch - the Alternate World." /images/graemlins/tongue.gif Same character design, same owners, same production studio, same seiyuu, same TV station and even same time slot. (HR aired the following week after Touch TV ended)

The opening theme song of HR also plays in the background of the Southern Wind Café in the final episode of Touch, by the way. ^_^

But oh, those crafty bastards; they're not including the Hiatari Ryoukou! Movie in the boxset! The movie was a double feature with the Kimagure Orange Road movie (and spots all of KOR's OP theme songs as insert songs, by the way) and ends the Hiatari Ryoukou anime storyline just like KOR's movie ends KOR. HR TV can be thought of as standalone, but it really needs the movie to have a more satisfying conclusion. Then again, the movie has the most evil ending in all of anime history, but not for the reason you may think.

They HAVE to release the movie as a single now; it would be criminal not to. It's like releasing Card Captor Sakura without releasing movie 2, only much, much worse.

Even though the movie is evil, the HR anime is much more solid than the manga. The manga just... ends. No real conclusion. The anime at least makes a complete narrative.

Anyway, I have both the HR LD-BOX and the Movie LD but I'll be buying the DVD-BOX. Jesus, I've spent $1100 on Adachi LDs and three years later I'm upgrading. And I couldn't even give away my Touch LD-BOX!! (DO NOT ASK- I now consider it an $800 artbook /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif )

Slow Step will be next. Or Nine. Then there will be no more Adachi anime to put on DVD. <font color="red">EXCEPT FOR SOME EXTRAS FOR H2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</font>

So I must buy HR. I want to buy Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne because it's one of my favorite shoujo titles (and yet, I'm sticking with VHS of Hime-chan, Chacha, and Ririka. Hm...)

As far as Dragonar, I'll have to watch it again to remind myself of its quality before buying the DVDs. The phrase "Gundam Lite" pops into my head, and I'm not gung ho about right now because the first words on the official site were "Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ." I didn't bother to read the rest of the sentence because I immediately went flaccid at the thought that Dragonar has something in common with Gundam ZZ beyond both being Sunrise mecha shows.

You know what we need? We need Juushin Liger. 1989 Sunrise show based on an idea from Nagai Gou with robots and maybe... wrestlers? Or at least it spawned a wrestler. I've never seen it but I have the OP/END CD single and it's damn catchy.

Oh, and note to Japan: if my City Hunter Complete Box, which is supposed to be remastered from a new print, ghosts like Slimer for episodes 1-114 like the VHS/LD/R1 release, I will personally fly out to you and start killing your inhabitants like a Horned Lucy at a summer festival.

Don't forget to breath while you rant and rave /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

I'm guessing that the Hiatari Ryokou movie may just come out later in a separate DVD, like the Touch movies. They'll be milking the Adachi Mitsuru anime cash cows for all their worth.

But oh, those crafty bastards; they're not including the Hiatari Ryoukou! Movie in the boxset! The movie was a double feature with the Kimagure Orange Road movie (and spots all of KOR's OP theme songs as insert songs, by the way) and ends the Hiatari Ryoukou anime storyline just like KOR's movie ends KOR. HR TV can be thought of as standalone, but it really needs the movie to have a more satisfying conclusion. Then again, the movie has the most evil ending in all of anime history, but not for the reason you may think.

They HAVE to release the movie as a single now; it would be criminal not to. It's like releasing Card Captor Sakura without releasing movie 2, only much, much worse.

Even though the movie is evil, the HR anime is much more solid than the manga. The manga just... ends. No real conclusion. The anime at least makes a complete narrative.

Any chance you can give us a hint on what happens? I don't mind a minor spoiler...
Now that you've peaked my interest in the movie, I'm liable to go to YahooJP and get the LD because I can't wait for the DVD announcement.

[ QUOTE ]

Anyway, I have both the HR LD-BOX and the Movie LD but I'll be buying the DVD-BOX. Jesus, I've spent $1100 on Adachi LDs and three years later I'm upgrading. And I couldn't even give away my Touch LD-BOX!! (DO NOT ASK- I now consider it an $800 artbook /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif )

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, just like my Dunbine LD box set.

[ QUOTE ]

As far as Dragonar, I'll have to watch it again to remind myself of its quality before buying the DVDs. The phrase "Gundam Lite" pops into my head, and I'm not gung ho about right now because the first words on the official site were "Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ." I didn't bother to read the rest of the sentence because I immediately went flaccid at the thought that Dragonar has something in common with Gundam ZZ beyond both being Sunrise mecha shows.

[/ QUOTE ]

Have you ever seen Dragonar?
I have the Dragonar LD set and I can honestly say that it's utterly bland. I really wanted to like Dragonar but the characters were so cardboard cutout I couldn't get into it. I'd rate it below Double Zeta. The series did have some cool mechs and combat scenes though.

[ QUOTE ]

You know what we need? We need Juushin Liger. 1989 Sunrise show based on an idea from Nagai Gou with robots and maybe... wrestlers? Or at least it spawned a wrestler. I've never seen it but I have the OP/END CD single and it's damn catchy.

I guess I will go with the regular version then, has a final episode count been finalized?

[masterpez]

Kind of surprising that the release of FMP: TSR isn't coming with a figure in the LE edition. I'm sure people would've loved to have ones of the twins, and you can never have enough Tessa figures. This is a series that I'd rather enjoy watching and understanding at the same time (all that millitary jargan in japanese is over my head), so I'll be waiting for the r1 release. Hopefully that won't have the same problem as Fumoffu.

[fabio84]

At least the price isn't too stiff for the LE version, and though the UMD isn't terrible, I also wish they'd have gone with figures, the ones that came with the original series and Fumoffu were great. /images/graemlins/happy.gif

It's not a deus ex machina ending is it? Or something like the ending of RayEarth Season2 - where the last scene pretty much destroys whatever that was built up to that point.

Okusama wa Joshikôsei Diary.1 is up at Amazon.jp (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000AOXE1S/qid%3D1123864957/250-5187675-6892256) and it´s really priced 2,900 Yen (excl. tax). With that -20% reduction for pre-orders I guess this is a no-brainer for me (as poor Madhouse-slut...besides it doesn´t come with a box to fill, so I can always stop when Vol. 1 doesn´t appeal to me /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif ).

<span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>More like Rayearth 2. It twists and you say "WTF??!!" and then it makes up for it with the very very last scene, but you feel used/cheated/emotionally manipulated, and not in a good way like cinema is supposed to manipulate you.</span>

well, OVA-3 is posted up on liverpool now:

Tho, Aya and Satsuki are hot in those banner-art costumes. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

hehehe, they should since the OVAs are part of the continuity.

The Ichigo 100% release-pattern should be like ala KOR:

TV-series 1st-season, OVAs, TV-series 2nd-season, then Movie for the final conclusion.

That way, they can still introduce Amachi and Kozue properly. And prolly expand more on Kozue since the manga was ended rather abruptly without fully exploring Kozue's impact.

*mumble*coz Kozue's the cutest next to Nishino for me.*mumble* /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif

Damn that´s really bad timing for me once again...but thanks to the final MONSTER Box also coming out in December the temptation to double-dip is pretty low (except it´ll come with something like manga or figure as well ^_^).

According to DiscStation the 2nd DVD will contain 4 episodes, so I guess the same will apply for the other 5 Volumes (which would match if the series will be 26 episodes). The first DVD (containing episode 1 &amp; 2) is priced 2,900 Yen excl. tax (which would be 2,320 Yen with the -20% for pre-ordering at Amazon.jp *tempted*) and the other DVDs are priced 5,800 Yen excl. tax.
If there´s going to be a firstpress box (illustrated by Hiyoko Kobayashi) released with one of the DVDs, then I probably can´t resist the temptation ^_^"

More Gundam re-releases? *sigh* September is already crippling enough... (Aside: Yeah, apparently I forgot to pre-order Tsubasa Chronicle 2 until this afternoon, which makes for another 5,000 yen I didn't think I was shelling out) /images/graemlins/knowital.gif

But a 20% Amazon Japan discount makes these three releases something worth striving for. /images/graemlins/happy.gif

Spring 2006. With as much that's coming out this fall between regular series and collections from everyone, putting a new series out is counterproductive from a smaller company I'd think.

To play both sides, that TV-BOX *is* only 120$ on average depending on currency, so it's not like it's a huge drop of cash for it unlike say the City Hunter set or something (which is still a deal considering the number of episodes). I haven't followed the R2 release but I'm guessing it's been released in singles before so they're doing a box to get that next wave of buyers and I'd guess that they'll reduce the price and do a re-release of the singles probably next summer as well.

And @tablet - i think there's going to be more announced about additional extras with the Hellsing OVA, thats what the main page is saying anyway. And surely they wouldnt charge you that much more just for 4 pages, but it honestly wouldnt suprise me if that was it

Oops! Sorry my bad. Just made the edit with the correct date on the original post.

[littleharlock]

You forgot to mention the relief the limited Edition comes with. According to the "officially launched site" (I perosnaly am a bit disappointed on the little announcement this "site launch" brought today) confirmed news originating from Wonder Festival 2005 Summer that the Alucard relief (http://racaseal.hp.infoseek.co.jp/WF2005S.HTM) sculptured by Masaky Apsy (http://www3.osk.3web.ne.jp/~kaiten/) will be included in the limited edition. A great bonus if you ask me, that adds yet another reason to start this OVA (not that Romanov Higa´s involvement hasn´t tempted me enough ^_^).

Btw. can´t wait for the new HELLSING Young King OURS Special issue to arrive here (I want that Preview DVD now ^_^).

Is the anime DVD-BOX for real? I'm wondering since it's 2 months away from the allegded release date and neither Amazon, Neowing, nor Anime Jungle have a listing for it. The only site I've seen it on is Panorama.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, at least, I now know that I'm not the only one checking for this to be listed every week /images/graemlins/tongue.gif So far, only the DVD boxset for the TV drama is listed. Nothing on the anime front /images/graemlins/sad.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

Sounds bogus then. /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif

[Rogueman_8]

for those of you who are able to get the OVAs, vol.4 is now up (http://www.liverp.co.jp/dvd_video/ichigo_vol4.html). As always, i can't wait to check it out /images/graemlins/noseblef.gif /images/graemlins/noseblef.gif.

Question. Is this the same one that's in Shonen Jump? Or something else different?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by the question. Maybe cos I've been out of the loop for too long...

If you're asking whether this is an anime based on the I''s manga by Katsura Masakazu (known to some as "Ass-master K" /images/graemlins/tongue.gif ) previously serialised in Shonen Jump, then yes, it is.

Running through Google's translator, it roughly says this:

- Newly illustrated box art by Kazuya Kuroda
- 32-page color booklet
- Special recording (Disk commentary? By someone who's name I don't recognize. Will look up the Kanji when I get home.)
- 9 discs total (3 per series, one each for the two compilation movies, and an extras disc)
- Picture labled discs

It's currently listed on Chara-Ani only, but the School Rumble OVA looks to be a lot less exclusive than the Layla Hamilton Story OVA, spec-wise and on the wordings of these listings.

It's a full purchase Animate exclusive. (ie, you have to purchase all the volumes from Animate (online only I think, but I'm not sure) and then send-in for the box.) But they don't ship internationally, hence the mutterings about Y!J.

[Oceanstar]

and when might this box be released?

and could anyone link me?

and can anyone from japan go to a street animate shop and find it when its release or is it just online exclusive?

I agree. Especially since the more widely available SR DX figure of Sora was just plain ugly. There's probably no chance of ever getting this stateside either. /images/graemlins/relief1.gif

Hmmm... interesting but the only thing that Media Factory could do to make me want to repurchase the series is if they redid the video in 16:9 instead of 4:3 letterbox.

Just curious do any past volumes of My-Hime includes director's cut/improvement like vol 9?

With the R1 release date approaching, I'm trying to find out as many info as possible for the R2's just in case Bandai screw up...

[/ QUOTE ]

nope, only vol.9 contains the director's cut episode which bascially has about 3-4 mins of extra footage and a clean opening and ending. There were no major improvments on the show as a whole. The R1s will be getting the character omakes like the r2s. however, there's no word on if they're gonna use any of the extras from the FP vol.1 seiyuu disc or any extras from the fandisc. So one may be missing out on that, as well as the figures and clothes that came w/ vol. 6-9.

oh for future reference, you should probably ask the question in the 'dvd-exclusive thread/changes made to series collecting...' or the series' specific thread (if there is one) or just make a new thread /images/graemlins/wink.gif.

[VanG]

heh, I just searched My-Hime and I found this thread, next time I should look in the forum first I guess /images/graemlins/tongue.gif Also thanks for the info, I'll be looking for the vol 1 FP for sure if R1 doesn't have the seiyuu extra.
