Bandai Visual Japan going Blu? - Blu-ray Forum

VICIOUSNIP · 10-16-2007, 01:48 AM

I was just checking out the Bandai Visual Japan page (not the US version), and it seems that onr of their future Japan Blu Ray release is going to have English dubs and subs?

No signs of any new HD DVD releases after Patalabor in Japan.

Now I know that BV Japan and US are are closely tied together unlike the other anime companies in with offices in the US and Japan, so this may be a sign that BV is going completely Blu. Though it is also a sign of more expensive anime in the future.

yeah, i think Japan is pretty much 9:1 as far as Bluray sales go, and it happened pretty fast. from what I have heard around this board, they are just slowly phasing HDDVD out of theri system, realizing the mistake they made.

Do a search - there's a couple of threads on this already.
