Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind - Blu-ray Forum

rezpekt · 08-05-2010, 07:46 PM

Optimum will release Studio Ghibli classic Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind on 18th October! More information coming soon...

nitro64 · 08-05-2010, 07:58 PM

hopefully its a digipack sort of thing so it can go along with my ponyo

ChrisDilke · 08-05-2010, 08:04 PM

Haven't seen the film, but still great news that Optimum is bringing a catalogue Studio Ghibli film to Blu-ray. Hopefully this means that they'll start rolling them all out over time, and that the likes of Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away aren't too far away.

oh sheeeet! Good news! UK blu-rays kick the asses of USA blu-rays!

scratchy · 08-05-2010, 08:20 PM

Great news.

Since it's Optimum, it will most likely be locked to region "B". That will also prevent people in Japan from importing a cheaper UK disc.

Won't stop me from doing so.

Aww man, Ive nearly completed my Ghibli collection on DVD and they start re-releasing them on Blu-Ray.....

Al_The_Strange · 08-06-2010, 01:12 PM

Sweet!

I wonder if it'll be anything similar to the Japanese release. Looks like it has good quality.

Eidolon · 08-06-2010, 07:33 PM

great news as long as it doesn't turn out to be one of Optimum's upscaled DVDs....

Robert S · 08-07-2010, 11:04 PM

Actually, other than a few dodgy releases in the past, Optimum haven't been too bad IMO. Usually discs free of extras, but decent enough presentations.

Yep, thats a bit of a downer for all us who have a Region A BD player.

Let's hope Disney start releasing more Miyazaki films on Blu.

Woo! Can't wait

Remind me never to pre-order from Play.com again: Amazon.co.uk have finally got it available for pre-order, just 6 days to go, and for about £5 less than Play. I log into Play.com to cancel my order there and – I <sarcasm>can't</sarcasm> think why – Nausicaä is apparently now "packing" and cannot be cancelled, while another BD in the order that is released on the same day (and which has been known about and up for pre-order for much longer notice) remains merely "pre-ordered."

My copy, priced at £10.99 which i pre-ordered when it first appeared there, has also gone into packing so maybe they just got them early. Not that I'd stick up for play.com or anything...

cjelly · 10-13-2010, 10:58 AM

Just seen this thread and pre-ordered. Only £11 on Amazon!

Any other Ghibli's coming out soon? :P

wesslan · 10-13-2010, 11:03 AM

I guess they will mirror the japanese releases so YES more is coming

GrinwithoutaKat · 10-13-2010, 01:31 PM

So no digi pack to match Ponyo?

Zen_Amako · 10-13-2010, 02:18 PM

I got the Japanese release of Nausicaa, but I'm thinking it might be smart to wait for a UK release of Laputa: Castle in the Sky since it would be so much cheaper.

Le Grande Blu · 10-15-2010, 11:16 AM

Just took a trip into Dublin HMV to pick this up. Price was 29 Euros, so I'll be getting this online at almost a third of that price -cheeky beggars!
