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.

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*

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.

My dvd doesn't look as bad as that.

Xenonas · 04-26-2015, 07:44 PM

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?

willtopower · 05-04-2015, 10:54 PM

That is a sick looking slip. I'm not usually too concerned about them, let alone double dipping for them (excluding pacific rim), but this is tempting. Maybe if it hit $10.

IdeaOfEvil · 05-05-2015, 01:42 AM

Since I already have the first bluray release, I'll just buy it from Amazon and return the unopened disc sans slip. Easy =)

illmatic24 · 05-08-2015, 12:11 PM

That is one sexy ass slip. I wanted to pick this movie up on blu but never got around to it so this is a good time. Pre-ordered.
