It was revealed recently that Muse Communication (Taiwan) won't be able to release the first two movies on domestic Blu-ray. The move is rather interesting since Taiwan was one of the first countries outside of Japan to release the TV series on Blu-ray. They are also one of the countries that is (heavily) promoting the theatrical launch.

And thinking a bit further for the North American market. I think it's very possible that Aniplex of America will be offering a direct import from Aniplex Japan for the first two movies (instead of doing domestic release). I guess it's just speculation until more details come out (maybe as soon as the Japan release gets solicited).

Unless they put an English dub on the Japanese version, I doubt they'd go that route. I think it's more likely that they'd just do sort of what companies have Funimation do, and make it so if you use Japanese audio, it automatically displays english subtitles.

I don't think it's ever really a given that AoA will dub something. If they didn't see much benefit from dubbing the series (which is a possibility: all of the LE's are still around), they may not do it for the movies.

1st 2 movies are comp movies... they could remix the existing dub assuming there are no new lines... they could always do new animation but the vocals may not change.

Exclusive News: For all Theater Showings, There will be a Special Clip for the US Audience before the First Movie AND There will be a Exclusive Trailer for the 3rd Movie after the credits of the Second Movie!

So wait, is this special clip before the first film exclusive to the US screenings? I know a trailer for the third film appeared after the ending credits of the second film in Japan. Was there a clip shown before the first film over there as well?
