If it had been 180 minutes just for the anime, that would have been extremely cool, but I imagine also very tiring to watch 3 straight hours. Still, I'd imagine the last volume to be longer than the other episodes, so 90 minutes is a good episode and a half to finish everything up in. |

I wouldn't mind them putting all the extras on the last disc, hint hint. Their method of stuffing everything onto a horrible BD-Live service so far has left a lot to be desired.

It would be nice if I could afford this. I'll bet they'll make it even more expensive than the rest of the episodes, which are already expensive.
It's superb work, but a kick to the wallet. I'll get this eventually, just not anytime soon. |

I now have to wonder how much a Bluray box set of the entire series would go for.

Maybe like $200 or so on an Amazon bundle deal? Who knows though honestly. If it does emerge as a complete box it will most likely be on dot-anime. They were releasing deluxe versions of the earlier volumes with boxes. |

Have you ever considered the DVD versions? Or is Blu-Ray quality a must for you? Anyway, its nice that we finally have a release date, cant wait to see how it all ends. |

Well, if a movie is available on Blu-ray and one owns a Blu-ray player, one would likely want the Blu-ray version. Also I don't think the DVD version has dubs on it. |

Well, I have the first four on Blu-Ray, I'd like to stay consistent. |

Actually, the dubs do exist on the DVD versions (I have vol. 1 and 2) and each vol has two episodes so that's two episodes for $30. And thanks to rightstuf.com, vol.3 (ep. 5 & 6) was released on DVD despite Bandai Entertainment going defunct. Just saying that the DVDs a nice alternative if you don't want to pay $60. |

They may have been referencing the Japanese editions. Blu-ray contains an English dub while the DVD doesn't.

Yeah, and unfortunately a localised (as in produced in the USA) blu-ray of Gundam Unicorn was never done as was the case for the dvd versions. So you end up paying 2-3 times more than what a localised version would cost. Italy has localised blu-ray/dvd versions of Gundam Unicorn (the blu-ray/dvd have only japanese and italian dubs). Editions that are 100% equal to the Japanese first press editions, each volume includes a 20 page booklet with info about the series, interviews with the authors, animators etc.., a postcard and a carboard sleeve. Prices go from 30 to 40 $. The US simply got shafted for the blu-ray versions. But then that's Bandai's modus operandi relative to the english speaking world. |
