Just recieved my copy today. It is Region Free despite saying "A" on the back. Has proper English Subs (it is not like 20th Century Boys w/ English&Chinese at the same time). It appears to be in 1:78:1 AR (there are no black bars). Japanese DTS-HD MA 5.1 Track that is very nice. Comes with a DVD that contains 3 extras. No English subs on the DVD, just Chinese subs.
Has a slipcover.

Great, thanks for the info!

Could you take some pictures of the slipcase?

Received my review copy (us version) last week but curious if the HK version includes the following features:

"Animation Research for the Sky Crawlers"
"The Sound Design and Animation of the Sky Crawlers"

Note: US Version is Japanese, English and Portuguese Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and Spanish 5.1

I watched a little over half of the movie. The English subtitles are fine, and I assume this release uses the same subtitle script as the U.S. release.

My initial impression: The 3-D scenes with the planes look great, but the character designs are very plain, and the story is dull. The score by Kenji Kawai is very good.

Thanks a lot for the cover scans!

The opening minutes of the film (watching it right now and I have it paused, rewinding back and forth checking the audio and detail on those planes) sounds absolutely awesome and nice use of directing audio all around you. Pretty nice utilization of rear surround.
