Find this movie character 

NAPKINS KESSEL

According to my email notification, this one was for me initially, but you edited the post to change it to Scary Hair....

I figured it out. If you still want me to answer, I can.

Hi, @ksosk and @ukade2327. I just want to confirm that I updated my request (again). I switched from the full slip to the lenticular. That’s the only edition I want. Sorry for any additional effort. Thanks!

Oh, wanted to ask, did anyone else notice that PA is releasing a spec ed of Mirai (PA 056)?

Unfortunately, Japanese and Korean only, which is weird for a PA numbered release.Looks beautiful though!

Yes, it's the same with all of their anime releases. No English subtitles. Very frustrating.

Vesper Lynd = Casino Royale = Eva Green

As an Eva Green fan, I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t know she was French. 😞

@DarthEd Hey there.

Haven’t had a chance to invite you to our little game yet, so here goes:

Can you recognize the film from this picture?

Oh, gosh... My first, gut reaction was In Bruges, but that’s mostly a guess as I don’t remember the scene.

I tested when it was released. I was very excitet about this project as it came from Ghibli and because I saw the live action version so many times when I was a kid. But sadly this was a complete let down. The animation (completely CGI) is an atrocity and not what you expect from Ghibli. It could have turned out to be an terrific anime (the story is great), but I could not take it and stopped after I think 2 episodes. Very sad that they failed on this. Done right it would have turned out great I think.

Wow, I had no idea this was CGI animated...

Has anyone seen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronja,_the_Robber's_Daughter_(TV_series) yet? If so, any thoughts? Studio Ghibli co-production, directed by Miyazaki’s son. It’s coming to Blu-ray in the USA on August 20th.

Later,

Ed

My draft illustration of a card that I hope to make for Bohemain Rhapsody!

A hard-board card covered by a purple velvet cloth with gold foil print of the title, topped with a high-quality metal plate 

of the Queen's logo.

 

For a small cost to add to your WeET Bohemian Rhapsody, anyone keen?

 

 

Cheers,

KS

Is this a full slip? Does it fit one edition or is this a one-click box to fit all of the WeET editions together?

Also, does anyone know if the WeET steelbook is embossed/debossed? Or is this the same as the Best Buy steelbook?

Hi Anime Lovers, ie @Grendel, @extantsrevenge, @stanleydobson, @Steelbook_Movielover and @DarthEd.

Anyone seen 'Made in Abyss'? From the trailer it looks absolutely amazing.

I’ve not heard of it before, so no, but thanks for bringing it to my attention. The character designs are a little too chibi for my tastes, but it does look very pretty.

The Blu-ray has English subtitles, right?

I must admit I’ve never heard of Violet Evergarden. Just watched the trailer. I agree that it looks very pretty. Will keep an eye out for it. Cheers!

I’m well, Grendel. How are you feeling?

Nice finding those sales! I wish US Amazon would put a few anime discs I’ve been eyeing on sale, like Mirai and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time....

I love the cover of that art book! Such bold use of colors. Fantastic!

I love Serial Experiments Lain! I only have it on DVD. How is the quality of the Blu-ray, Grendel?

I already have Wolf Children, Summer Wars, and The Boy and the Beast on Blu-ray from that Amazon sale I mentioned. I just need to pick up The Girl Who Leaped Through Time. Oh, and find the time to actually watch them.

I wasn’t disappointed by Mary and the Witch’s Flower at all. I thought it was pretty great, but I would say that the story arc could have been better served as a series. With all that world building, I wanted to spend more time there.

My local theater was showing Mirai last Saturday morning, so I went to see that. I absolutely adored it, of course! It was the English dub, but it was well done. With the Blu-rays I picked up on sale at Amazon recently, I’m now ready to do a deep dive into all of Hosoda’s films....

Netflix made a new, original Ultraman series that just released this week. Unlike the live-action 1960s Japanese TV series, this one is CG animated, and I would say it has some anime influence for sure. It’s getting positive reviews from IGN and a friend of mine who has watched it. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m hoping to watch it soon. Have any of you watched it?

Bad Times at the El Royale would be nice.

Looking good, @Grendel! I picked up the same Mondo Alice. I have the original Record of Lodoss War on DVD somewhere. Good stuff. I should probably watch the sequels someday. I’m envious of your Star Blazers LE! That looks niiiice.

Going back a few posts, I also got that Mondo Ghost in the Shell steelbook, even though it was a double-dip. That price was just too good to pass up, and it is pretty gorgeous.

I must admit I’m not familiar with either Jormungand or JoJo’s Adventures. I’d be interested in your thoughts after you watch them. Cheers!

Anyone else clocked that the Steel art is different for the 3D Fullslip? Interested in where this came from. 🤔

It’s the same steelbook artwork as the Amazon.de 3D steelbook release....

I don’t read any manga these days. The last manga I read was Lone Wolf and Cub about 25-30 years ago.

I did pre-order the US Blu-ray releases of Mirai and A Silent Voice. The latter I’ve already seen and would highly recommend. I ordered the former just based on reputation.

Remember my interest in the Gatchman: Complete Collection? It sold out everywhere before I got around to ordering it. Apparently, a fancy Collector’s Edition release is coming out in a few months for $99.95 MSRP. Here’s hoping the price of that drops by a third....

Re: Ghibli Award, that sounds like a great idea, but not feasible for me if it’s steelbook only, unfortunately. The Zavvi Studio Ghibli steelbooks are all Region B-locked, and I haven’t picked up any of them. And I haven’t seen much in the way of Region A steelbooks recently.

Couldn’t disagree more with your assessment of The Tale of Princess Kaguya. I think it’s a masterpiece and one of Studio Ghibli’s best films. It’s top five for me. Just a difference of opinion.  Mononoke is probably my favorite overall.

I'm Lost.... Please, Help....

 

Me too...  Is there an option to ship to the USA? Are the poems and/or book in English or Korean or both?

I’m definitely interested in this release, fwiw.
