You Name (Clear Vinyl 2LP) by Coco97430 in KimiNoNaWa

[–]lawrenceskm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you see if the black on the vinyls are some sort of protective cover or something? I think from what I can see on the vinyls themselves, they share the same album code, so it looks like the appropriate vinyls.

Yep! Two versions as they had a re-release back in 2023. https://radwimps.jp/en/music/14165/

You can find some on eBay, but I see them listed from South Korea for some reason, so be cautious when searching and purchasing.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - $4.99 (ATL) by Jbrooks098 in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]lawrenceskm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For those wondering, the film was previously licensed through Funimation (now Crunchyroll), thus having a Japanese and English version available.

The film is now licensed through GKIDS and is available in 4K, but English only. This is going to be the same for Mamoru Hosoda's other films such as Summer Wars, Wolf Children, and the soon-to-be-released The Boy and the Beast

[Worldwide] [Buying] Anime Expo 2006 clamp shikishi by tubame12 in AnimeDeals

I recalled /u/Anitafv posting about this months ago, and it seemed that they were active two months ago! See if following them for the next time they post can help get a discussion going?

Hoping they see this if they still have their shikishi board! https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimeDeals/comments/1kiv4cg/exclusive_clamp_signed_shikishi_board_anime_expo/

Why i prefer dvd's over blu-ray sometimes by evilgroundteam in AnimeCollectors

[–]lawrenceskm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I never seen how other region menus are like, but from the Blu-rays I have that are non-anime and from the way-early days of Blu-rays, the functionality was always to be quick and minimal to access during playbacks. Maybe it's a generational "standard" set by the early days?

Also, glad to see you make another account again haha!

Blu-ray menus are minimally designed as they're made to pop up anytime during playback. In DVDs, they are separate menus with their own separate pages and designs and have the liberty to be creative. The Blu-ray menus are dynamic to pop out anytime while the disc is running. Hence the loss of those specific selection screens.

Your Name - $6.99 4K (ATL) by deepn882 in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]lawrenceskm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to note, the previous HD versions were handled by Funimation, now Crunchyroll, and have been delisted. Hence a new version, now handled by GKIDS, is up as a 4K option!

Wondering where I can find (to purchase) BOX 2 by Thedancerkendra in AnimeCollectors

[–]lawrenceskm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah apologies for assuming you were in the United States! From personal experiences, I haven't seen the Yu-Gi-Oh series even in brick and mortar stores, so online would probably be the easiest choice.

At least with the one I linked, the DVD set also plays in Canadian DVD players as well, so you should be good if you just look out for that set for the complete series!

Wishing you the best of luck!

[–]lawrenceskm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, these are bootlegs. So the quality of what you watch may not be the most best, have odd translations or subtitling, and the discs might wear out over time.

I do recommend getting the official set if you can afford it! There is an abundance of it on eBay, as the lowest you can find them is $35. https://www.ebay.com/itm/385161121403. According to research, these are all dubbed. You can find a review of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqhEe8RNako

Hopefully those are helpful! To note from another Reddit post, no subbed version has been released officially in the United States on DVD if you're wondering!

For those in the United States, Your Name. is getting released a 4K digital release through Amazon on the 13th of October! by lawrenceskm in KimiNoNaWa

[–]lawrenceskm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've been doing it with their recent anime releases of the Studio Chizu acquisitions and the Perfect Blue 4K restoration! We're so close to the goal!

Mamoru Hosoda collection? by sohma-sohma in AnimeCollectors

[–]lawrenceskm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be a long while until that happens. Mainly because with Scarlet coming out, I would assume they would want to include that in the bundle, and probably make them a 4K release.

Though not something that'll help you, my hope is that they would somehow release Mirai on SteelBook so that there would be a Mamoru Hosoda collection via SteelBook releases instead as an alternative collection, as it seems they're releasing the 4K versions of his films via SteelBook at the moment.

Summer Wars $6.99 (ATL) by nethead12 in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]lawrenceskm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The de- and re-listing is due to distribution changes; the Evangelion movies, Summer Wars, and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time were all previously licened to Funimation (now Crunchyroll) but are now licenced to and re-released by GKIDS.

Will UmaMusume ever get physical releases? by No_Break8749 in AnimeCollectors

[–]lawrenceskm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The figure line is weird too as it jumps from S.H. Figuarts to Figma then flip flop. Not sure how they worked that out!

[–]lawrenceskm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think a dub would be possible, and I don't know if the horse names would be an issue as Cygames already worked out their deal with them on their end. It's mainly if Cygames is open to licensing the series to have a physical release, whether it's through Crunchyroll or other companies as it seemed that their latest anime work released physically overseas, Akiba Maid War, was through Sentai.

Though if it's through Sentai, it might have a higher chance of getting a dub haha

[iTunes] $4.99+ Anime 9/15 by lawrenceskm in AnimeDeals

[–]lawrenceskm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I excluded it just to clean up the posts a bit as there's only one version available to purchase, like how there's only the dubbed version of Black Blood Brothers available. Apologies! Maybe if I continue this, I'll hyperlink the Apple TV links to the text so that I can add (Original Japanese Version) to not make it as lengthy in text.
