Aniplex of America Blu-rays

[Tiberius]

Since there is now a dedicated Anime subforum on the Blu-ray Movies - North America board, and there isn't such a thread already, I figured I'd make a thread all about everyone's favorite and oh-so-reasonably-priced anime publisher... Aniplex of America.

Nice, I own all of these except for Oreimo blu ray (which I already own on DVD).

You are missing the Limited Edition Imports of Fate/Zero blu rays. Released Part 1 March 7, 2012 and Part 2 Sept 19, 2012.

My favorite by far is the Gurren Lagann Import set.

Amended!

I keep going back and forth about importing the Gurren Lagann set from Japan... thinking I'll wait 'til it's available as a "regular edition" in a few years like what happened with Kara no Kyoukai.

[Sinthetic]

Let's face it, most of these sets are ludicrously priced and can be had for much cheaper in the UK (the entire Madoka set is £20 haha).

That being said, I'm definitely going to get the TTGL set at the start of next year. I'm already at £200 saved out of the £325 it'll cost me.

No matter what Anime Limited do, they won't be able to top how awesomely presented the JP set is.

P.S - Come on man, no one should have to pay over $300 for SAO!

Well they're imports in America whereas UK versions are not. So it's just a matter of an import being sold outside of Japan for approximately the same price Japanese fans pay or an actual domestic release.

[Kevtronn]

Another Aniplex title I own that you may want to include is Lisa: Lover's Mile blu ray + cd Limited Edition Import which includes the Fate/Zero opening song "Oath Sign".

[Talyn]

TTGL movies had individual releases before the eventual box set happened...

I think that was DVD-only and Subtitled only.

I think you're right....*face palm*

[Cplhicks]

I don't own any of these because they're too much to justify the expense. Really wanted to see Sword Art Online and some of the others too... At least I have ROD on DVD.

Well Sword Art Online is on Toonami.

[u_nick]

I have the Monogtari stuff from them, Baccano, and Durarara.

Some of the recent very popular titles, like Madoka, Blue Exorcist, or SAO I was lucky enough to not get into. I think about it every now and then, but havent cracked yet. I really like how some of the previews for Blue Exorcist look.

Havent imported anything yet, but I keep eyeballing the JP release of Oreimo, which is a touch cheaper on Amazon Japan. When the second season started, it got me excited for it again. but by the end, I got soured on it a bit, so I've toned down my excitement for it.

[Tiberius]

Uhhhhh guys... the Gurren Lagann set on Amazon JP has hit a new low of ¥37.8K, or (at current rate of exchange) $383. At a 40% discount, that's the lowest Blu-ray.com has tracked it yet.

True but I missed the beginning, and I prefer subs. I have been recording it in hopes of the early episodes being repeated though.

I really liked the Japanese dub at first but the English dub for SAO is very good. It's solid either way.

I'll still wait in hopes that we receive a domestic release. I'm guessing it would still be around the $200 plus range.

Blue Exorcist: The Movie packaging shot posted on AoA Facebook earlier today:

[Asuras]

Want the movie so much to complete my Blue Exorcist collection. But I can justify paying $70 for a single movie right now >.<

[Talyn]

Is Blue Exorcist a good anime? I've been interested but at the cost on it, I've been a little apprehensive....

It's a very good action shonen show. Great humour in it and variety in the way the series is paced.

Get the UK set if you are able to play region B. I got the complete series for £50 compared to the $280 it costs for the Aniplex releases.
