Not sure if any of you already saw this, but member AnimeOnBlu posted a link in the https://forum.blu-ray.com/insider-di...et-al-729.html thread to what appears to be a Japanese press release for Whisper of the Heart. It lists a release date of 7/20 in Japan and even has cover art:
![]() Link: http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/n...11_438454.html I'm from the US; luckily you guys in the UK are more likely to get your hands on this title long before we see it in the US. We still don't even have an announcement yet on Castle in the Sky and My Neighbors the Yamadas. ![]() |

Nausicaa seems to have a different cover than Ponyo and the other two pending for release. Can anyone who owns Nausicaa comment on this? I would like to start the Ghibli Blu-ray collection by ordering Ponyo and Nausicaa, but if Nausicaa has a completely different cover/case style, then I will most likely wait with that one.

Same with ShockFly, I'm a bit disappointed with the Nausicaa release... the Ponyo special edition is a really nice foldout box/slipcase. A standard Amaray looks a bit naff in comparison, and it's a shame they didn't release it in the same style.
Do we have any region comparisons of Nausicaa too? It's been out for a while in the East from memory. I've not seen the film, as I never paid much attention to Ghibli before (couldn't get into Mononoke much, which was disappointing) but I really enjoyed Ponyo and the transfer was beautiful. |

Man, the waiting on japanese movies are horrible. There's always a huge gap for each Ghibli/Evangelion release
![]() I looked at the trailer, seems alright although I'm disappointed they haven't been more ambitious - would've loved something similar to Howl's Moving Castle/Spirited Away. Ponyo was extremely disappointing (too basic, aimed for a much younger audience) Hopefully I'll remember the title, Borrower Arrietty doesn't naturally roll out my tongue Last edited by backslashio; 04-15-2011 at 01:11 PM. |

The UK/AU Nausicaa release was superior imo. I don't like grain on animation and even upon zooming in & comparing the shots there was practically no difference at all in terms of detail - aside from one shot having grain visible and the other didn't. On a live action movie it'd be much more obvious & the DNR applied was only a light amount - not excessive to the point of a blurry mess
Also the saturation helped bring the animation to life as well - looked great! I'm normally not a fan of alterations that go against the director's choice but for this there weren't any issues |

The official English title may become simply 'The Borrowers' but I don't think there has been any official announcement yet. Optimum's press release just named it 'Arrietty'.

Interesting, I've never really considered the DNR argument when it comes to non-live action filming. I'm not a fan of it when overused, Cameron managed to prove it definitely is a viable tool with 'Aliens' though. With animation, the grain truly is a side effect of the medium as opposed to something there out of creative choice. Do we have any indication on what the directors preference is?
I'm multiregion so while getting a UK disc is easiest, and matches best (although it'll look like it's missing its slip), if an Asian version is better I might pick that up instead. I do like the artwork for it I saw on YesAsia a while back. |

I've not seen an actual source but read what someone else said once that Miyazaki prefers to make his work look like films, rather than Disney's preferred choice of making it look like moving artwork.. of course.. not seen an actual source to proove that's what he said.. |
