Garden of sinners didn't have three U.S. releases before the BluRay box was batch imported, I think it's safe to assume GL will not be held to the precedent it set. edited to remove excess quotes |

Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about. I have a couple other sets with glossy photo cards too, but I don't own a single premium set for an anime series, so I don't know how things are done. 
Having the pictures inside a booklet would also be nice. I think the best extras these sets could have would be action figures, or better yet, since these are so huge, it may as well be a complete set...
Aniplex is still relatively new. I guess as soon as they "calm down", and establish that they have a catalog of titles, they might re-release some things more often. I sure hope they do a re-release of Gurren Lagann on DVD for non-hardcore fans... Last edited by PurpleWarrior13 on Fri Mar 29, 2013 11:54 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I was unable to find an official blu-ray box pic

Read a little closer in the news article - this is the DVD set: http://aniplexusa.com/gurrenlaganndvd/files/gldvdzoom.jpg It's $140. Unless you mean a discount set, then, well, I hope that there's one as well, like there is for Oreimo. Last edited by Mirri on Sat Mar 30, 2013 12:02 am; edited 1 time in total |

They need collectors editions like aniplex offers. It seperates fans from the chaff. I wish they got ahold of the dragon boxes before funi had their way with the series

I'm hoping they would rerelease R.O.D. because my sister reblogged some gifs of it on tumblr and now I really want it. (almost got the BDs last Christmas but I decided not to) Last edited by Pokenatic on Fri Mar 29, 2013 11:59 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Except that Aniplex has no connections to DBZ. It's not like they would get anything that's not linked to Aniplex. |

There isn't one just yet, sorry. When it's ready to show AUSA will have it on their official page for the product: http://aniplexusa.com/gurrenlagannbd/ |

Meh, didn't read back that far (pretty much the first two pages and this most recent. Sorry about it, I guess, although I didn't swear (unless you count self-censoring and the word hell). It still is a shame though. :\ Random comment, but speaking of Gainax and mecha, Evangelion went out of print a little while ago didn't it? Has that gotten picked up by anybody? |

I actually had the Bandai release for a while which was a great deal but as a fan of the show I pre order the BD box set off Amazon Japan the moment it went on sale. The price is steep but as collector of japan figures and video games this is pretty much normal price. After it goes oop, I can see people paying double the price for it like Garden of Sinners. Hell, I'm glad I bought Volume 2 of the DBZ Dragon Box for $20 before it skyrocketed to $400 eBay price.

You can still get the disks on Netflix [Sub only, though they list the dub cast anyway]. I just started watching it recently. It's a show that should look great on bluray, Ill say that. |

Numerous posts in violation of the "no further discussion about AoA pricing" ban, as well as a few completely irrelevant ones about off-subject topics, have been removed. This thread will have to get locked if people keep violating this ban, and I'd rather not have to do that since there are other topics concerning this to potentially discuss.

The DVD LE as I care enough about the show to go with that. The BD is going to be very nice, but I don't care enough for Gurren Lagann these days to spend that much (Maybe if I finally did a rewatch after 4 years I might care enough?). Works for the people that want it, and are willing to shell out that much for something they loved that much.

After a year of being OOP Rightstuf still has the platinum thinpak set, with no counter. http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/-Iwl4sl-iz99HwCxmy/browse/item/67745/4/0/0 Last edited by BigOnAnime on Sat Mar 30, 2013 2:59 am; edited 2 times in total |

Australian distributor Madman wanted to relicence NGE but were told by Gainax that they couldn't until Anno had finished making Rebuild (I read this on a blog reporting on an anime convention somewhere, asked Madman myself on Facebook and in person and had it confirmed last year sometime). The obvious interpretation is that after that they'll release the Blu-Rei edition of Evangelion and it'll be rereleased when it's available in HD in an $800+ boxset. When they do I fully intend to bitch about, buy and enjoy the hell out of it (I just hope they have the full Revival (ReRevival?) including End of Evangelion, similar to what they did with TTGL). |

Man Gurren Lagann on Blu ray is going to look amazing. Really that was the last good anime tv show as far as I'm concerned. The art and animation were amazing.
