There are two DVDs that have been just been released. One is about $25.00 and the other is about $50.00. What is the difference between the two? How many DVDs/Volumes will be coming out?

the more expensive one is a 2 disc limited editin release with an Arucard figurine as well as 5.1 japanese audio whereas the cheaper one only has japanese stereo and 5.1 english. It also has all kinds of extras on the 2nd disc.

Regular Edition:
Keep Case 16x9 Anamorphic Widescreen Presentation Japanese 2.0 Dolby Digital track English 5.1 Dobly Digital track English Subtitles NO Extras ---------------------------------------- 2-Disc Limited Edition: Disc 1 (50 minutes): 16x9 Anamorphic Widescreen Presentation Japanese 5.1 Dolby Digital track English 5.1 Dolby Digital track English 5.1 DTS track English Subtitles Audio Commentary (from Taliesin Jaffe and Crispin Freeman) Disc 2 (57 minutes): Interview Session (with Taliesin Jaffe and Crispin Freeman) Promotional Videos (4 versions, including "Broken English") TV Commercials (4 versions) Non-Credit Ending Production Art Gallery Case: Steel Book casing w/ art by creator Kouta Hirano A fold-out, dual-sided mini-poster featuring the cover art for both versions Arucard Relief Figurine: Created by Masaki Asai with US-exclusive coloring I think there are preview trailers somewhere too, but who cares... ---------------------------------------- I'll try to post some pics of the case and figurine later. As for the number or releases, it looks like they're doing one episode for each volume of the manga. I believe they're up to Vol.8 in Japan, with Episode 3 coming out sometime in February and Episode 2 to come out in the US at the end of March. So far, it looks to take about 6 months to make one episode (in Japan). And rumor has it the manga will end around 10 pending on Hirano's effort, so let's predict about 10 episodes or so. |

UPDATE
Here are some pictures I took. They're pretty big, so I'll make them hyperlinks with descriptions. |

Only 2 in Japan right now. Episode 3 comes out in February (still on-going, takes about 6 months for another episode/volume to come out). Episode 2 comes out in the US in March. |

if you don't care about the figurine, Best Buy is selling the 2 disc alone for $25.

If you're interested in the LE w/ figurine and don't mind online shopping, DVD Pacific has it for a little over $32 (after shipping). Or, Deep Discount DVD has it for $33.26 (w/ free shipping).
I tend to go with DDD more often because they're pretty good about keeping up with backorders, though I here they and DVD Pac are owned by the same company, so maybe it doesn't even matter. |

I got LE with figure from TRSI for $26.32 with free shipping. Then again I ordered it back during July's Geneon sale.
I love the fact that the title is visible on the spine (like Appleseed) of the tin as opposed to the Bandai tins. At this point I have about 20 DVD tins that do not have titles on spines resulting in me pulling the entire shelf down to ID a DVD. Thank you Tony for clarifying the audio tracks on the two version since there was a bit of confusion regarding it in the Talkback forum. Being both a DTS fan (the dub for this one is good) as well as a Japanese track fan both LE audio upgrades are welcomed and I'll be sure to watch this series in both languages. |
