...Who-WHAA? I keep losing track of what Discotek's releasing this week. (Did they finally put out that bilingual Samurai Pizza Cats set they were planning to?)

It'd be great to get Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro on Blu-ray, being a Miyazaki film, but I'm not even sure who owns the home video rights anymore. The last I heard it was Manga Entertainment, who put out the most recent DVD release.

Not sure if Manga's still around, but Cagliostro's one of their two or three "core" titles; if they are, they're not letting it go.

And on the subject of Nemo and Cagliostro-era Miyazaki, the abandoned test footage on the "worst experience of his career", unquote:
(Which would've replaced the opening train-chase scene, and Flip with a generic Ghibli boy-adventurer type.

Not bad, but...would've looked like all his earlier films, and just remade more early Castle/Sky drafts again...Okay, show me where there were more of those danged biplanes in the comic strip. )
