I agree. If it were true, it would be an odd title to choose for a first US Blu-ray anime release. (Geneon has other titles to show off Blu-ray better)

Has this been delayed or cancelled. I can't seem to find the Blu-ray on CDJapan and Amazon Japan. It's on HMV Japan's site.

Good question - it was located at this link earlier:

A search for the catalog number or tekkon kinkreet blu-ray on amazon JP doesn't get any hits either. Tekkon Kinkreet is kind of weird in the first place since it seems to have completely slipped past AV watch, and they're usually on top of any anime releases in HD. The main TK site now only lists a DVD and CD as being released on that date, so sounds like the Blu-ray release was either a mistake or got nixed:

Hi,

I found this while browsing the Blu-Ray / HD DVD listings on CDJapan:

FLAG Director's Edition - Issenman no Kufura no Kiroku

This would count as an upcoming anime Blu-Ray release, right?

Good catch. See Chris has updated the News with it too.

- added FF: Spirits within due to it's roots and because many people consider it anime (even with it being 3D CG)
- the Japanese release of Freedom on HD-DVD is currently MIA and gone from CDJapan, Amazon and even Bandai Visual JP's own website.

Yes! I was very happy to see that.
I'm glad I made a good (rare if anything) indirect contribution to this site's news

Btw. I think you put Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within under the USA HD DVD release dates by mistake. Surely, that's a Sony title, is it not?

Thanks, fixed.

Also, I noticed another that also needs to be moved to BR, being the French release of Paprika
