The release date of the DVD/Blu-ray/UHD BD of the movie "THE FIRST SLAM DUNK" has been decided on February 28, 2024. Detailed specifications will be released on October 27th, and reservations will begin on the same day. Only the price of the standard edition has been revealed; the DVD is 4,400 yen, the BD is 5,500 yen, and the UHD BD is 6,600 yen.

This was revealed on the ``10/20 THE FIRST SLAM DUNK Staff Live Broadcast'' on Toei Animation's YouTube channel ``Toei Animation Beyond''.

As mentioned above, detailed specifications and prices will be revealed on the 27th, but ``Dolby Atmos is the origin of the sound, so Blu-ray and UHD BD are recorded in Atmos format. "Instead of converting Atmos to 2ch, we deliberately created a stereo mix. Even when you watch it on TV in 2ch, the sound is very good."

The standard edition is a simple version that only includes the main disc. The limited edition and special limited edition will be produced only for the first time, and are expected to come with luxurious benefits such as bonus discs and enclosed bonuses.

Presumably Anime Limited will give it a 4K release.
Not much of a fan of this of type of cgi anime, and the cgi-ification of anime in general though tbh, from the cgi Appleseed films to Ronja (couldn’t get past the first episode of that) and many more, it’s never been something I’ve been particularly fond of.

A UHD should look pretty nice though.

Any chance this'll get a more English-friendly 4k release in Hong Kong? I've no experience with Toei for their releases in HK.

This movie is absolutely incredible. I watched it 5 times in theaters, and GKIDS's silence on a home release has been really frustrating. I have imported the 4K disc, even though it doesn't have english subtitles; I figure it is unlikely that GKIDS will release this in 4K anyway.

I expect this to look really good like DB: Super Hero (clarity wise)

Regrettably, like many a recent Toei title, due to incorrect an colourspace conversion, it is green tinted on both BD and UHD. Hopefully Anime Limited's eventual UHD will correct the issue.

is there any platform that has English subtitles for this movie?
