Worst of all, Kyosuke and his family have amazing supernatural powers, but he has to keep them hidden from the rest of the world!

From body swapping hijinx to vacations gone awry, Kyosuke can't help but get himself into trouble. But high school can't last forever. With college on the horizon, Kyosuke must make some hard decisions... even if it means breaking someone's heart in the process.

Kimagure Orange Road is coming to Blu-Ray! It's the whole thing, except that one weird new movie! (So raise your hand, who guessed this from our hint?)

AnimEigo subs were pretty great. Just needed minor revision and typesetting (courtesy of @Schmullus1)

Confirmation of license news that will make many people happy: Kimagure Orange Road will be released on Blu-ray by Discotek. The TV series, the OVAs, and the first movie in two collections

https://twitter.com/GWOtaku/status/1028680224085626882

Kimagure Orange Road is in very early production. 4:3 original aspect ratio, completely remastered. Extras will include vintage commercials, clean opening and endings.

KOR: The new HD transfer is gorgeous!! Subs are the AnimEigo subs, which we've revised slightly. We have some really neato extras too. However, we've got zilch for the movie. No trailers, nothin'. If anyone has anything, please get in touch.

Any word on the Shonen Jump Special for KOR? Totally understandable if not.


Not allowed to include it. The series is owned by Pierrot but I think that special is owned by Shueisha.

Don't know the origin of this KOR movie trailer, is this one fake as well? (sorry just trying to help) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZpx...ature=youtu.be

Holy crap, we FOUND A KOR MOVIE TRAILER!!! Can anyone ID where this came from?? (1st one only, we have the 2nd one, which is for a theatrical release of OVAs 3-6)

I realize we have the recently created Discotek thread, but I thought it'd be nice to have a dedicated thread for the series to consolidate information.

[LordCrumb]

Indivial threads for releases are good, it allows more discussion on the one release.

[Naiera]

KOR definitely deserves its own thread.

[Gouki]

So I'm guessing Summer's Beginning is in licensing hell? But it's in 4:3, take my money!

[KillaCam]

They should dip their toes in the LE pond and release this with some pretty chipboard.

[pikagreg]

Yeah I love Discotek but I would love them even more if they were to make even some simple LE sets with a chipboard box.

[fabrebatalla18]

In Netflix Japan is remastered in HD, so you can be sure that the Bluray will look great as they have a very good remastered.

[mysticwaterfall]

This thread is nice for having all the info in one post as opposed to spread out in a lot of posts. And as mentioned, KOR deserves it's own thread.

I wonder if by AnimEigo subs it includes the linear notes? Those were pretty good.

Shame about the 2nd movie. Doesnt seem very popular but I've always liked it. Maybe they can return to it sometime.

I think you mean AnimEigo instead?

[mysticwaterfall]

Double post.

They released the second movie.

[SteamfloggerBoss]

Discotek really killed it on Sunday between this and Giant Robo. Both of those are pre-order material for me.

It would be nice to get a BD of it for quality reasons but on the bright side it's the one KOR release that was cheap. I picked it up recently for just $3.

[CommanderShiro]

Never watched this series, but hear too many good things about it. So I'll be blind buying it.

[Nostalgic Twilight]

Added the promo video to the main post. I've never uploaded things like this to YouTube and didn't feel particularly comfortable doing so, but I was excited and really wanted to embed it directly. It may be taken down in the near future, which is perfectly understandable.

Capcom nearly took down one video of mine because I showed a cover to one of their games. So, it might happen to you (but I'd like to think Discotek is better than a greedy company).

[Nostalgic Twilight]

Yeah, I'm cool if they do. I even sent them a direct message asking them to upload it to YouTube themselves.

[Girls With Guns]

Well, I'm probably going to buy this release (especially if they do make an LE for it) even if it is way outside my comfort zone, as it's probably too big of a "landmark" release to skip getting... Although I did completely skip over Revolutionary Girl Utena...

[professorwho]

I made a comparison of the JP Netflix stream vs AnimEigo's DVDs via caps from SeaFox

You should get it for the packaging alone...
