Finally.

[rickah88]

Keep the anime steelbooks coming!

FAILimation in their infinite wisdom has only a stereo Japanese audio track despite the fact the film was native 5.1 and was presented in 5.1 even in theaters here. This is what they get for releasing it so soon after the Japanese BD- gimped quality.

Funimation strikes again. No surprise there.

At least we aren't paying Aniplex $90 for their sub-only horses**t.

Well it’s a Sunrise series title. Aniplex only does Aniplex titles. Though if Aniplex only Animates a series and nothing else making it to where they don’t control the series, then it makes it possible for someone else to get the series like Sentai owning Gate and Funimation releasing The Seven Deadly Sins Season 1.

Also Aniplex series have quite a few Dubs in their series.

Not knowing anything about this I'm curious, why is the title just seemingly random words, non-words and punctuation marks strung together?

Code Geass is the name of the series (Geass being the power they weild) Leouch is the name of the main character, and Re;surrection I dont have a good answer for besides to look cool unless its explained in the movie.

Definitely getting this though.

I was just referring to their overall strategy of overpriced subpar releases. Apart from a goof or two here and there, Funi typically delivers, and usually at a price point that isn't straight up dipshitty. Sometimes it's just nice to own a series or movie you like without worrying about whether you'll be able to afford food for a week....

Not to mention Aniplex cockblocks all their legacy properties. They're the reason we'll never get a Rurouni Kenshin box set ever again.

Please don't remind me of that. I'll be stuck with the terrible Media Blasters DVDs until I die lol.

I don't even get that. Just two days ago, I found the box set at a local Goodwill for $89. I thought I had finally found it...and lo and behold, it's a goddamn bootleg.

Could be a misprint. My copy of The Dragon Dentist was labelled with 5.1 JP and EN audio and it was 2.0 for both tracks. Speaking of goofs, My order of the Code Geass box set has the old prints with the mono audio. Would I be able to get replacement discs?

Probably. Just email FUNi and see what happens.

Yup. It's a well-known enough issue that both Funi and TSRI (if you ordered from them) will replace the discs. Feel free to shoot them an email.

I did, they confirmed it was final specs. I bloody hope they read my email wrong, but I guess that's it....

I just heard the other day in a podcast with a guy who works on these sort of titles something along the lines of "give a collector a reason to not buy your release and they'll make sure not to". Welp, here's my reason.

I hope the audio isn’t 2.0. If you look at the movie on Funimation and scroll down, in the main feature section it says Japanese TrueHD 5.1.

[InuYashaCrusade]

It wouldn't be the first time that Funimation put incorrect information on a release.

[Taikero]

Definitely interested. I'll probably snag this when it hits $20 or less, maybe $15.
