Had a feeling they would release Marmalade Boy on SD Blu-ray after it was hinted on their Facebook poll regarding the format so to see it happen now makes me glad I held off on buying the DVD sets because I'll definitely be buying this and according to Justin, it shouldn't have the PS4 video problem so that's even better (though I'll still use my PS3 anyway).

I'm going to pick up both of the movies. Fair, then Partly Piggy in particular looks really interesting.

I guess Funimation have given up on Toriko? I wonder if we will get a home release of Osomatsu-san 88, I think there was a blu-ray release in Japan.

That dub was cancelled years ago, so, yeah.

Baldios was literally my first anime, but it absolutely does not belong on a Bluray disk...

Considering that Baldios dub was released by Celebrity Home Ent., I'm guessing it was one of those Hong Kong/Tokyo-produced dubs with actors reading their lines the whole time.

Edit: The vintage English trailer for Baldios uses random music from Project A-ko. Laughing It was one of those Tokyo-based dubs from Frontier Enterprises where all the actors were just reading their lines.

I've heard of Baldios but never knew that it was about. I'm sure I've seen it one of my old anime mags. I'm really glad that 'Discotek' is getting these old vintage shows out.

I'm curious about the 'Fair, then Partly Piggy'. It's an odd title. But I'm keeping these on my radar for acquisitions.
