thomas Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 In the week before the worldwide release of Akira on Blu-ray in the US, Bandai Entertainment has sent out notice that the first pressing run of the title has been sold out on the distribution level. The second press edition, which will not include the slipcover or the detailed full color thirty-two page booklet, will be available for distributors starting on March 10th. All retailers stocking this release will have the first press edition when it streets next week but no further copies will be available until the March 10th release which will be just the standard Blu-ray case edition with the same disc. Link to article This is pretty cool news on the anime on blu-ray front in the US. It's be great if this shows US and Japanese companies that anime blu-ray is wanted over here. I am tempted to go out and get a blu-ray player for this release, since the rip I have looks damn nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsleepOnRocks Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 came in the mail today. going to give it a view after listening to the pens game This movie looks fantastic, but sounds even better. The remastered audio is mind-boggling. I hope you've got at least a halfway decent 5.1 system... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodkablast Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 the transfer and audio are definitely awesome, but other then that this Blu Ray pretty much sucks, no bonus feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
