Well thankfully I never got around to getting the limited edition of Seraph of the end so now I can get this fantastic collectors edition. Man I'm going to be broke come Christmas thanks to all of the CE that Funimation is releasing lately.

Oh I see, that makes more sense. Yup there's people who bought limited part 1 and now they want to buy the collector's and they don't know what to do with the edition they already have. On my case I bought the UK version since I'm european, so I'll just wait for Universal to release part 2 and buy that one too. But this kind of annoyed me a bit also because the box is so pretty, and if I knew this a few months ago maybe I would have considered importing the US version instead, since I own a multizone bluray player. Too late now |

I need to re-watch "Ergo Proxy" and make sure I still like it before getting that BD set. Sure hope my opinion of it hasn't done a complete 180 in the past 6-7 years.

Well, they were raised in the same orphanage as "brothers,"...so, obviously the answer is yes, absolutely, they are passionately in love, but they can only express their love within the confines of R-18 doujinshi, because unluckily for them, they are stuck in a Shonen Jump title! (I know that Seraph is a monthly title, not sure what it runs in in Japan, but it gets published in Viz's Weekly Shonen Jump every month) I quite like Seraph, but more to the level of "I want to follow the manga from where the anime leaves off," and not the level of "I want to get Collector's Editions of the anime." That Universal set released in the UK looked awesome, though, and it wasn't priced the same way other Japanese companies price their shows in overseas markets (Aniplex, Pony Canyon). Very tempting... |

I haven't checked out Seraph yet, but that is a very nice looking collectors edition. Tempted to watch it just to see if I should buy this
I already have Ergo Proxy on DVD, but it's currently backlogged and I haven't felt like watching it, so I don't think I'll pick up the BD. There's a typo on Funimation's name in the 2nd to last paragraph. Guess CC is hitting hard this year.
Probably at least that long, the BD hasn't even been announced in Japan yet.
If it gets a nice BD release, I'd love to upgrade my set, or just as good, pick up whatever Bandai never released, like BotS 3. Come on Funi, keep moving through those license rescues. Looks like it's still DVD only in Japan though, so I guess a nice BD release might be a ways off, if ever -_- |

The gorgeous Japanese Blu-ray release of the TV series and both versions of Endless Waltz that is sitting among the rest of my imports says, "what the heck are you talking about?" |

Hell yeah Ergo Proxy in BD! I hope they make a good job of this release.
Agree with those asking for a Stars saga BD release. Including the 3rd part. And While they're at it, the should also do a BD of Texhnolyze. |

I have Ergo Proxy on DVD but I will be selling it and upgrading to Bluray when this drops. This gives me hope for a Bluray release of Initial D Stages 1-4, Shuffle!, and Love Hina with the specials.

That CE for Seraph of the End looks fantastic! This is one of the few Funimation special editions releases that is actually worth it. But, like others here, I did not like the show enough to want to own it.

Actually, I think the update at the end of the article is also somewhat incorrect. Funimation did not acquire the rights to Ergo Proxy from Geneon when Geneon USA folded its tent. Rather Funi was hired to distribute the remaining stock of Geneon USA titles while Geneon retained the licenses.
I don't see myself double-dipping for this show. The DVDs are pretty good, and since the masters are from 2006, it's unlikely the show was produced in better than 480p resolution. |

Screen shots via FandomPost/mania.com Its noticeably sharper to my eyes, but it was never a brightly colored show so I don't think we can expect a lot of eye popping color. |

^Looks better,though it's not a show I would watch again. Starts good,and then just aimlessly moves along it until they realize it needs to end. It doesn't know what it wants to be at all.

I think it knew exactly what it wanted to be. Maybe it just wasn't to your liking. Depending on the extras, I might be picking this one up. |
