To confirm, yes the Blu-Ray will have subtitles. And, sadly no plans for the Inferno Cop pillow case.

No calls on which region it would be. I'd personally would want it to be region free though.

I know I hate speculation, but just to be clear, because I just found this forum topic. I'm looking at the Valvrave releases on both Amazon.co.jp and PlayAsia and I'm not seeing any subtitles. Since it's an Aniplex title, it's probably a forgone conclusion that Aniplex USA is going to BD release it, right? Someone abate my fears.
Can't we pretty much boil the whole forum topic down to studios being EngSub friendly? I'm not seeing any Showgate titles being EngSub friendly, is that pretty much a consensus? I really want to curse them for a BD release of Waiting In The Summer without subs.

Thanks.

If you are referring to the conclusion that Aniplex of America will release an import BD release for Valvrave, it's highly unlikely. AoA's imports have all been blu-ray box style releases. Their other titles with singles have all been domestic releases (Nisemonogatari, Blue Exorcist, Sword Art Online, Madoka Magica (TV series only)). Valvrave will likely be like the latter since NA customers are still unaccustomed to JP singles pricing as well as the logistical issues of importing 12 BD singles and providing a translated booklet/other packaging goodie for each volume.

Showgate is not a studio; they are a company who often licenses titles internationally. Their role in the domestic market for anime is assistance with distribution, but not the actual production of video discs. For example, they're involved with the Ano Natsu TV series you mentioned, but the company who designed the video release in Japan was Geneon, who rarely if ever puts English subtitles on their releases (you may see Eng dubs on BD-Boxes), so they're the ones you should blame if anyone. The lack of a BD release in the NA market comes down to Sentai's fault for directly specifying DVD-only release upon licensing.

You are correct that it boils down to JP distributors and their opinions on English subtitles. Warner Home Video is very good at including English subtitles on their singles as of late and so is Bandai Visual. Kadokawa has added Eng Subs/Eng Dub to a few releases, so they're mixed. Pony Canyon doesn't have a good history of subtitles; the only releases I'm aware of that have EngSubs are Kanon and the two Clannad sets. Aniplex varies as it depends sometimes on what AoA wants to import. VAP won't put Eng. Subs on a release (yet to do so iirc). I think that covers the main distributors in Japan.

Hah, thanks. I'm pretty certain I'd see AoA prob do a boxset for it, which is fine by me, I don't care how I get it, as long as it's in 1080. What scares me is it getting the Blue Exorcist treatment, with DVD only.

Well, at this point, it's Po'tato/Potat'o argument for blame. I'm pretty certain that American distributors aren't licensing BDs in volume just because of the market vs cost aspect. Which I don't think we can argue that from NA distributors, which has inherently pushed us all to this post to get what we want.

Appreciate the message, I already knew Bandai Visual was good about it. But, hadn't noticed a trend myself with the others. You probably saved me a couple of hours trying to use my sadly lacking hiragana and katakana skills translating Japanese websites.

Keep up the good work wrx and other peeps, now let me get back to throwing my money at the computer screen.

I'm so unsure with how to handle this Garden of Sinners situation. There's a ton of interest on my end but I don't know if I'll like it. Also, there's that fear that I'll love it and I'll wind up getting the version I didn't want (cheaper American DVD vs. this Blu-Ray). Regardless, I am glad this is an option.
