I'm wondering if this will still have the Isao Takahata and His Tale of the Princess Kaguya documentary bonus DVD...
And will this use the same Universal discs or new Shout! Factory discs? Song of the Sea had newly-authored discs from Shout! Factory for The Irish Folklore Trilogy box set.

YES! I love this movie!

Also listed on Amazon.
Amazon and Shout Factory both list 3 discs (1 BD and 2 DVDs) and the latter specifies that it includes an exclusive Booklet as well as a "Feature-Length Documentary Isao Takahata And His Tale Of The Princess Kaguya".
Does that mean the third disc is a bonus DVD?

It’s likely the same setup as the 2015 release, which would mean yes the bonus disc is DVD, though I don’t think we’ll know for absolute certain until someone actually opens a copy up.

And it is indeed a BD bonus disc, though still is the shortened cut of the documentary.

Just got my copy, Glad they updated the disc art from the generic Universal Studios design.

Yeah it’s everything but those last 6, plus Ronja the TV series. Red Turtle and Ronja are both co-productions and not pure Ghibli, so aren’t likely to get matching releases, plus Red Turtle is put out by Sony making it even less likely. Ronja is at least GKids, so is a chance, but they’d have to tweak the layout some to credit it as a co-production. Ocean Waves also never has received an English dub, so since these most recent two have proven that GKids are updating some from their Universal to Shout releases, it’s possible it could receive a dub as part of the move.

It's from a third party seller, and $4.72 shipping. They don't sell many movies, so I'd be wary of why they have these recently released steels (might be something wrong with them, etc..)

Ah thanks for pointing that out. Didn't notice that.
