All About Lilly Chou-Chou (2001)

[mimurph1]

Ever since blu-rays first came out, this has been on my wishlist. You wouldn't believe my surprise when a few weeks ago, I saw this pop up on YesAsia with a release date of 9/15/12.

However, since that initial release date, it's availability has never been ready to ship, the cover art is re-used from other DVD releases and I can't find any information on other websites. Does anybody know anything else about this? Specifically, is this legit and does it have English subtitles?

The Iwai titles out this month are legit. Unfortunately, no English subtitles or extras from the DVDs.

ah, guess i'll have to keep waiting patiently, thanks for the info

Bought this blu-ray and I just wanted to comment the video quality is very nice. I have no regrets despite the lack of English subtitles, there's ways around that

Thanks for sharing the screencaps, they look beautiful!
Did you order from YesAsia? I'm pretty tempted to buy it, but it's a bit expensive, considering I've seen the movie only once and that was six years ago... But I still listen to the soundtrack sometimes...

How do you get around the lack of English subtitles.

I had the DVD so I pulled the English subtitles off of it, then used my computer to play the blu-ray using the subtitles from the DVD, streaming it to my TV.

Someone somewhere out there in the ether created a subs patch for the Japanese release. If the Taiwanese release is simply a port (or you can afford the Japanese release) you can purchase that and rip it to your HD then apply the subs patch to create a perfect copy with subs. Either watch on your PC or burn a copy for yourself (which I think may be legal-ish if you purchased the retail disc). Hope I'm not breaking T&Cs by stating this!
