Japanese Anime Releases with English Subs/Dubs

[kk1]

Not much time left for 1000, unless it gets that late surge like many kickstarters.

[AreaFive]

I'm really hoping to see it hit 1000. As soon as the English subs goal is reached, I'll bite.

[Glorian]

Can anyone tell me if the bluray Standard Edition of Oddtaxi includes the English subtitles present on the crowdfunded set? I'd like to order it off Amazon Japan if it does, but it's worthless to me without the subs.

I'm hoping it uses the same discs, but I've seen other cases (Utawarerumono, Macross Plus movie) where the English subs have been stripped off in re-releases, so I'm very wary without clear confirmation.

According to Rakuten, the regular edition Blu-ray includes English subtitles.

There is a new, unused listing of the Premium version on JP Mercari for 19,000 yen, which is cheaper than the standard edition unless you don't care for the extras

Very last day of the campaign, since it'll end a little more than 24 hours from now

Just over 600 preorders, looking unlikely it'll hit 1000.

Thanks so much for this! Now I can get it without concern.

Yep, that's the release I was talking about. Haven't gotten the copy I ordered in yet, but gloomranger provided confirmation that the standard edition does indeed have subtitles. CDJapan's listings aren't necessarily that accurate; they say that the first Sword Art Online Progressive movie doesn't have English subtitles, for example, but I have that and can confirm personally that it does.

You think Funimation and Crunchyroll will release this?

Most certainly, though it might take 50,000 years going by their current output rate.

Huh too bad no where near 1000. Weird the goals went 300->500->1000 it hit 700 but that gets nothing.

Yeah, you'd think they would say something if it hit over 800 or 900, since it'd maybe spark a flurry of last minute preorders to push it to 1000.

Maybe we'll see a tweet in the morning with a numbers update for a last minute push.

They should have made English subs at 500 and the black tights at 1000. That would have been the easy way to get more preorders.

I bought the exact same edition off of Amazon Japan, if that counts. I can post first hand confirmation after it gets here, if that's helpful.
