This comes with an English dub, but no English subtitles?

Yup

That's ok Ninja Scroll has a pretty good dub.

Just ordered the Zavvi Steel last week.
Your Welcome!

May grab this as well as it looks like a beautiful edition.
Kimchi has a place-holder up right now.

Gorgon · 05-23-2018, 06:50 AM

This is live NOW at Kimchi.
I ordered both the Dble Lenti and the FS.
The FS has a "Guide Booklet" in it, the Dble Lenti dos not.

The Highlander anime is dope af

My 2 editions just arrived...

If the show's presentation is half as impressive as the Lenti Slip and FS, I'm in for a very lovely treat!

The pics available on either the Kimchi site or Nova site (see links above) are in fact FAR better than anything I could post.
In essence, the Double Lenti cover (front and back) is great for depth (not a transitional) and the Full Slip is a semi-gloss cover with light embossing of the script on front and wakizashi sword on the back.
The FS has an accompanying "guide" booklet, (in Korean) with some lovely pics in it.
The disc cases are Scanovo, not amaray, with beautiful artwork.
I have yet to watch the film, as I have a few in the queue ahead of it (i.e. Vampire Hunter D.) but should have it spooled up by the week-end.
It's in 4:3 original aspect ratio with English audio (Dolby True HD 5.1) and Korean subs.
I think you would find this a worthwhile purchase.

Cheers!

edit: as for which is better, copy wise, depends on your preference. The Lenti is strikingly gorgeous but the simplicity and accompanying booklet are big factors leaning toward the FS.
Only you can toss that coin...

Within the past year I upgraded both my US Akira blu-ray and GITS releases to a nicer deluxe boxset of each (UK for Akira and Nova for GITS). I wanted to upgrade NS though my copy has a really nice slip. But, I hate that I would have to buy two releases to get what I want here; the lenticular and the booklet. Plus, I don't need 3 copies of a particular movie on my display shelf as space is limited at this time. So, guess that I will just have to be content with what I have. But, I sure would love an unboxing video or pictures of the included book.

Packaging screams quality. Fullslip has a smooth matte finish with spot gloss on the black text and images. Finish feels delicate though, so you might wanna wash your hands each time you handle it. The text on the back of the art cards are a shiny gold.

The book is worth it for the price alone though. Opens with a decent number of pages for liner notes (all in Korean). The middle sectional which is the thickest is an absolutely exhaustive collection of concept art. My only gripe with it is that they've changed all the text on the concept art into Korean. Book ends with a director bio.

Disc itself seems more or less the same as the other available releases. Japanese and English audio, and Korean subtitles only.

Well, I Was thinking about skipping this, but, that book certainly is intriguing! Decisions, decisions!

I ordered (and received, minty) both the Lenti and the FS with book.
The lenti is nice but it is a repeat of previous covers.
The FS with the book though is assuredly unique and a lovely chance to own a copy of a much beloved film with extras not available otherwise.
Were I to need to choose only one, the FS wins, hands down...
