Awesome, I'll definitely picking up the remastered Outlaw Star set. Doesn't look like Angel Links is remastered, so I guess I'll pass on that.

I noticed that too. Angel Links (which is listed on AmazonJP (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000F9RBGW/qid%3D1145618719/250-1504449-2209822) now as well) doesn't seem to have an FP though.

Also, what is this? (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/(red)/detailview.html?KEY=ST-355) Are the Gundam Z DVD boxes being re-released? (Notice the release date being 2006/07/14)

Click on the link in the main page and then select the third option on the bottom of the next page, and it will direct you to the DVD release page with the picture of the figure

Too cute to resist, especially if every DVD volume comes with a new chibi figure like that. I'm just not going to buy food or something to afford this, or hope I get some decent income in the next couple of months.

Hah, I like the flashing arrow above the figure.

CD Japan have romanised it incorrectly; the correct romanisation is "Hourendou" or "Lotus Lantern" as it's known in English. It's a Chinese animated film from 2002: http://china.tyfo.com/int/ent/movie/lotuslantern/lotus-synopsis.htm

Well, since I'm the original poster (and really didn't expect one of my RAAM posts to show up here!); I Googled the kanji from Neowing, found a page with a hiragana reading and a quick synopsis, romanised and Googled that and came up with the Lotus Lantern page. Seems like it's right.

Oh, and someone else has just corroborated it. Still, thought I should back myself up!

The first DVD volume for NANA has shown up (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000F72NVC/) on Amazon.co.jp. The SRP (tax included) is 707 yen and it will street on 7/07. It only contains the first episode and as far as I can tell, no extras. CD Japan is listing it as a "Limited Low-priced Edition".

Amazon.co.jp is also listing (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000FIH2LM/) for the same release date a version with an SRP of 1,890 yen, but the listing shows no information on the disc at all.

Yeah it is really confusing. It's compounded by the fact that niether CD Japan nor Discstation.co.jp show the second disc. I'm wondering if Amazon screwed up and added the title to an unrelated disc.

However, I do have a slight bit more info courtesy of Discstation's listing for the DVD. Apparently this one epiode volume is a limited release to be sold for only a short period of time. The length? 77 days. /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif I'm betting that the regular release will probably start after that time.

On another note, when I looked up the disc on Discstation, I noticed they had a listing for the soundtrack to be released on 7/07 as well. Oddly, I couldn't find it by searching on "NANA" in Amazon's music section, but running the catalog number through their search brought up a listing. It looks like there is also a limited edition version that contains a set of 7 postcards and a 49-page booklet. AS such:

Limited Edition (VPCG-84835) 2310 yen (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000FI8UGS/)
Regular Edition (VPCG-84837) 2100 yen (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000FI8UH2/)

Oh, and the cat # for the one-episode DVD is: VPBY-12553

The first DVD volume for NANA has shown up (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000F72NVC/) on Amazon.co.jp. The SRP (tax included) is 707 yen and it will street on 7/07. It only contains the first episode and as far as I can tell, no extras. CD Japan is listing it as a "Limited Low-priced Edition".

Amazon.co.jp is also listing (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000FIH2LM/) for the same release date a version with an SRP of 1,890 yen, but the listing shows no information on the disc at all.

707 yen is the 77日間生産é™�定価æ*¼ç‰ˆ version. It's a limited time price for 77 days from release. The other price is the standard price. I guess it's just easier for Amazon to make two separate entries in their database then have to change the price to the standard price after the limited time sale ends.

Anyway, at 707 yen I can't pass this one up... even though I know nothing about Nana. /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif

[relentlessflame]

So, if I get what you're saying (to sum it all up), on 7/07, a special DVD is being released for 707 yen that'll be at that price for only 77 days. A soundtrack is also being released on 7/07 with 7 postcards and a (7x7=49)-page booklet.

The first episode is good to check out the show, however I am afraid that if we invest in these low-priced DVDs (presuming they will continue), VAP cmight be releasing the series in Boxes, like they usualy do....and the fact that VAP do make good boxes+ good FPs is not helping.

I will buy this DVD, however the moment I know that boxes or proper releses will be coming I will stop buying this.

What strikes me is that these dvds are numbered. does this mean that we wil have 26 DVDs? (assuming the series is 26 episodes)....seems very unrealistic. I think that these low price DVDs will not continue as having 26 Volumes is hideous. so maybe they want to take advantage of the 7/7 date, thats all.

The first volume for Simoun (BCBA-2506) is also listed on both sites( Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000FG6ASU/qid%3D1147639624/503-7918230-0435145) , CDJapan (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=BCBA-2506) ).

Based on CDJapan's listing, both the regular (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=GNBA-1152) and the limited (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=GNBA-1142) edition of Hellsing OVA's second episode will be released on 08/04/06. The RE will include an 8-page booklet, while the LE will come with a 12-page booklet and a bonus disk.

Also, it appears that the Memorial Boxes for Zeta Gundam and Gundam ZZ will be re-released on 07/14/06 (this based on the fact that both CDJapan and Amazon accept preorders for them). They seem to be the same as the previously released Memorial boxes.

Is there any info out there as to how long this show's going to run? Since the manga's run for quite a few volumes, and the anime's not covered much ground in the episodes that have aired, it seems like it can easily run longer than the 'usual' 24-26 episodes. I want to buy NANA, but I don't know if my shelves will hold too many more DVDs. ^_^;

Well, I wouldn't want them to cut the story short, so I guess that I hope that it'll be a large number of discs. <sigh>

I've seen the Japanese LDs; they have much more print damage than the R1 release. Maybe the R1s are subpar, maybe the R2s were not remastered correctly. But it is clear that the R1s used the same sources as the remastered R2 discs.

[/ QUOTE ]

I just have to ask, where are you getting that the R2s were remastered? There's not a single mention of remastering on any info I've found on the R2s from Bandai's site or any retailer. If they were "remastered" it appears to be the same "remastering" that CPM or Manga did which is to say it seems they just dumped old analog masters to a digital master and claimed it was "digitally remastered".

[Thanatos]

You're correct that the discs aren't advertised as remastered, but neither, for example, was Dancougar and yet it's very clearly remastered as evident from comparing it to the VHS/LD release. Logic dictates that if the R1 was licensed after the R2 set came out and the video and print quality of the R1s is much better than the original Japanese Laserdisc release, the R1s are the higher quality masters. It's unlikely ADV would have significantly cleaned up the print themselves for a low profit release, and ADV also licensed the artwork and extras from the R2 release and not the LD release. Dunbine looks nice but far from the extensive remastering of other series around the same time like Giant Gorg or Layzner. I think it's fairly safe to say though that with the removal of a lot of print damage from the old versions, Dunbine's remastering was not merely transfering the old LD master tapes to DVD.

Good news. Baring any other major releases in November, this one will be mine. /images/graemlins/happy.gif

Ok. Just saw this listed on cdjapan and AmJ:

ova-1:
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SHUL-1
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B000FZDPFC/250-4368051-5867467?v=glance&n=561958


ova-2:
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SHUL-2
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B000FZDPFM/250-4368051-5867467?v=glance&n=561958

Now if only either site will re-solicit the Jump-Festa ova. /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif

[slerch666]

I skimmed the news here and didn't see it listed, but it appears as though the Fist of the North Star Super Premium DVD Box had a limited reissue.

CD Japan has an "exclusive" price on the reissue. (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=CPBX-1)

Sorry if this is redundant info or if no one cares. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Looks like the Tales of Phantasia OVA did well enough because they announced the Tales of Symphonia OVA (http://www.animate.tv/nf/detail.php?id=0000000693) series is in the works to be released maybe in 2007. Production will be handled by Geneon Entertainment and Frontier Works Inc.

That "160" in there couldn't possibly be the runtime, could it?

What is this? A movie, OVA, or a feature on the third season?

EDIT: Nevermind it's a special for the third season.

No, it's a movie to close up the series. There is no third season.

CD Japan just listed this here (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SVDB-114). I've heard a few people have wanted this on DVD here and there in the forums so should make them happy. Unless they need subs that is, seeing as this'll probably never get a proper uncut/sub release in R1 land.

Was this show aired early mornings in the US at one point in time?

Once upon a time. Apparently lack of proper crediting gave it the axe rather prematurely.

Now my only concerned is whether or not these are the "Light-Edit" version. The recent reairing (about a year ago) had these. (See pokemon if you don't get what I mean)

I would certainly hope not. One of the advantages of buying TV on DVD should be getting the full original broadcast versions.

[Thanatos]

Hopefully the DQ movie will have a seperate DVD release.

[Sweeped]

Hmm, If this was Dai no Daibouken, I'd heavily consider it. Actually never saw this iteration of DQ.

I'd recommend giving the series a try. (Atleast find a way to watch the first couple of episodes.)
