Need anime bluray recommendations - Blu-ray Forum

Kyo28 · 01-13-2009, 09:13 AM

I'm looking to expand my current library of anime blurays and I need some advice. My player is region A so anything from the US and Japan is OK.

In case of US releases, I'm only interested in releases that allow me to view the original (meaning no cutting, original JPN soundtrack and ability to turn the English subs off).

So far I have Paprika and Tekkon Kinkreet.

I'm looking into possible purchases of the Freedom box, Ghost in the Shell movies, Top o nerae (Gunbuster/Diebuster), DBZ movies, etc.

All suggestions and feedback on quality would be greatly appreciated!

the DBZ ones the Japanese language track is in Mono audio but they do have an option where you can listen to the english language track with original Japanese music in 5.1 Dolby TrueHD. Akira is coming soon to Blu-ray in Japan and America. Samurai 7 is coming soon in America from Funimation and its the complete series. I know Funimation has a main menu section that allows you to choose what language you want to listen to and choose if you want subtitles or not

I've been holding off on the Gunbuster Diebuster box set because I have no idea what it is. Is it any good? What other shows is it comparable to? I've picked up very few anime on Blu because I hate importing, and the ones they are releasing are completely new to me.

I wish they had the orginal gunbuster ova's. I'd buy that in a heeartbeat.

I have Appleseed and i thought that was pretty decent. I'm interested in checking out Vexille.

Gunbuster is an AMAZING show. It is concidered a classic of Gainax. I never saw Diebuster so I can't comment on that on. Also you can pick up the Patlabor movies as well. The second Patlabor movie is by far my favorite in Anime and better than a lot of live action with the story. Its slow paced and lots of dialoge (Mamuro Ooshi was the director so it kind of a given it would be like that) Im not sure if they have been released state side but the Japanese release includes english subs and a dub as well. I think the dub is actually a new dub over the VHS that Manga Video put out originally. It is actually really good but for the purist you can always go with the orginal Japanese.

The only blu anime I have bought so far is Vexille, and I highly recommend it, it looks and sounds great!
