Ninja Scroll - Re-Releasing May 19th! - Blu-ray Forum

It does not look like any new features; just new packaging. The embossed foil slipcover looks really nice though. Anyone plan on double-dipping on this? I don't normally double-dip for artwork alone, but this could be worth it at the current price.

It needs a new transfer, not a new slip cover.

Yep, 'fraid so. I've seen uncompressed shots of the UK Blu-ray and it looked exactly the same as the US one.

Not much difference with the dvd pq either. I'll stick to my dvd copy.

Black crush and DNR issues aside, it still shits all over the DVD, see Xenonas post.

I'm with scar. I don't have the first release so I might get this one. But if I did have the first one I wouldn't double dip on it.

I double dipped because with GA and the Sentai sale it was only $13

If I then sold the old release for a few dollars I'd consider it even (I've paid $5-10 for cool slips before anyways).

Then why not just buy the slipcover.

Oh wait...because no one wants to sell their anime slips haha. Dang them all...*shakes fist vigorously*

Which release do you have? Unless you purchased the DVD released alongside the BD (this one https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/Ninja-Scroll-DVD/38526/) than your DVD looks indeed THAT bad. =]

P-Rock · 04-26-2015, 07:50 PM

I have the R2 NL version.

Xenonas · 04-26-2015, 08:10 PM

If it was released before the May 2012 it will look just like in that comparison as no other scan existed up till then.

Z-95 · 05-02-2015, 09:47 PM

Mine came today--the slip looks amazing! Foil AND embossed. Plus they did not use the slip-destroying stickers they used with Short Peace.

Edit: Pics!

Any differences from the previous release?

How did I know BestBuy was not going to get ANY of these in stock on the day of release. "Store Pickup: Not Available"...That blows

SKU number.

If it is 8 digit it is usually online only.

7 digit and usually it'll be carried in store. For the most part the SKU method is pretty accurate. Again sometimes even a 7 digit SKU won't be in store. Also, if they have less then 3 copies in store sometimes those won't show up either for instore pickup.

I was at BB today and asked if they had any but nope. I guess I'll just order it at BB.com and hope that I get a good slip.

Seems like my scheming ways are being trumped. The slip cover has the upc printed on it while the actual bluray doesn't have it at all. I doubt I could keep the slip and return the unopened disc now =/

Might not want to talk about that.

The site admin consider that stealing. Just a friendly heads up.
