The Tale of Princess Kaguya (2013)

And it comes with a digital copy! Is that the first Ghibli title to do so?

[Monterey Jack]

Never got to see this in the theater, so a rental will be in order. A digital copy certainly sweetens the deal.

Yes it is. None of the Disney ones being released next week have one. That sucks.

[solaris72]

Saw this in the theater a few days ago. A masterpiece from one of the greatest living filmmakers. Day one for sure.

[Jafar]

Can't wait!

I guess Disney probably doesn't have digital rights available for the Ghibli films its distributes, otherwise they would be available digitally at least.

The only other Ghibli film available digitally is Grave of the Fireflies.

Never seen that, but everyone says it's great. I just don't know if I can handle the depression. GKids is releasing Kaguya right? They released From Up On Poppy Hill too, but that one didn't come with digital.

Edit: Apparently neither will Kaguya. Darn.

GKids confirms on Twitter that no digital/UV copy will be included with Kaguya, and that the release is still being finalized.

Hope the package is as pleasing as From Up on Poppy Hill's. Saw this one today and it is one of Ghibli's very best. Cannot wait to see it again.

It's likely to look good. GKids is releasing The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness on DVD only in North America, and this is what the slipcover looks like.

[Show spoiler]

It seems like February 10, 2015 will likely be the NA BD release date for Kaguya, as Amazon notified those with preorders of that date.

[zoodermin]

This movie is a masterpiece. One of Ghibli's bet offerings and I can't wait to own it on Feb. 10!

[flyinmunky99]

I recently saw this and found it fantastic and i will be picking it up when it comes out on bluray.

The art style is beautiful and the story is one that will stay in your mind after the credits roll.

Highly recommend

[NicofromFrance]

It's a shame this was not distributed by Disney. Would have looked nice with the Disney/Ghibli tradition artwork.

[disneywildcat]

Amazon.com and BestBuy.com's price is now $22.99. This is likely to be the release day price but not all of next week's ads have been leaked yet (Target does not have it in the Ad).

I've read a lot of pages and pages of things commenting about how Miyazaki's retirement would affect studio ghibli, and im kind of curious to see how this movie turned out. i don't have an opinion on the matter but i want to see a wider variety from them, which i expect to see over the next couple of years. definitdly looking forward to this.

[DJ Mike]

Is the Blu-ray region free? I know it's Universal, but they region-locked the UK release of Watership Down owing to not having distribution rights elsewhere, and it looks to be a similar situation here.
