I will wait for any North American release of the film in the future that will feature a dub. I watched the TV show dubbed, so I'm hoping I will get to watch the movies dubbed, if Aniplex of America does indeed decide to dub them (which I see no reason why they shouldn't).
Edit: I say there's no reason they shouldn't dub this because there is going to be a third movie coming out later featuring new material. Aniplex of America should definitely dub that, and to maintain continuity with these other two films I say they should dub these as well.

First off I would like to say that there appears to be a whole bunch of business experts in this thread. I mean, what are the odds of so many people who have mastered U.S marketing/internet marketing and international marketing and business strategy meeting in one place?
In fact, a kick starter should be initiated that will fund a trip to Aniplex of Japans corporate headquarters. Upon arrival, all the participants will be immediately whisked to the board room where the entire board, company president, and any other executives/decision makers will gather to listen a bunch of forum posters tell them everything they think Aniplex is doing wrong. There will be much discussion about how ANY time Aniplex so much as farts, people get worked up in to a tizzy. Also about how Aniplex of America ( and by extension Aniplex of Japan and by further extension Sony Corporate et al.) hurts peoples feelings by releasing titles *people complain about yet can't stop discussing. If enough kickstarter money is raised an added bonus will be a signed apology letter from Aniplex to the world for anything they have ever done, are currently doing and will ever do. That ought to cover everything right? Aniplex does what it does, so all the whining is useless. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I pre ordered the blu ray limited edition movies. I also bought all 3 limited edition versions of the show and guess what? If the movies are released again with an english dub, I will probably purchase that as well. It's my hard earned money and I'll spend it how I want. *Paraphrased Kevin Smith dialog. |

Actually this thread doesn't seem to have really devolved into the price side of things as much as usual. Nice of you to make a snarky contribution to try and get it back on that track though...
There was some actual useful information about the releases and why you should/shouldn't buy them. Do people really not see the irony in whining about others who whine constantly? Not saying completely useless posts like the one above are without merit, as I usually get a chuckle out of reading them regardless...just strikes me as funny is all

This is why I wish people would use more common title names. He's referring to Garden of Sinners, which, being an English title, is I guess insufficiently pretentious to use. |

Kara no Kyoukai's abbreviation is particularly obtuse |

SHAFT made a lot of money with Madoka, but they're also spending a lot of money with Madoka and realize they can't bring out a masterpiece every season. I think they're concentrating their "talent" on other things while they try to bring "decent" other pandering stuff to hold off their budget in the meantime. For the most part, SHAFT isn't a group with a lot of money, so they need to cash in on Madoka and their other popular stuff (Nanimonogatari, Hidamari Sketch, etc.) or risk going broke again.
It's not anything TOO drastic, as the story and general copy-paste is the same most of the time (deja vu galore!), but if you're like me and appreciate the subtle aesthetic improvements, it will probably be worth your money. It's rare you find an entire series for a price like this coming from Japan with the soundtrack, even if it is slightly cut down. Though I apologize if I might've hyped it up too much and you regret your purchase. =P |

Heh I didn't know that was the abbreviation for Garden of Sinners. Good to know

Agreed. Not that the price is too outrageous for two films, but it's not worth the added cost just because it's manufactured in Japan instead of the US, not to mention the untranslated extras. I will give credit to Aniplex though for such a small price difference between the regular and collectors edition. |

I'm not certain that I've even seen it mentioned before. "Kara no Kyoukai", I expect. Heck, even "KnK" I'd probably recognize after a moment or two... ^^; "Haganai" is almost as bad. ^^ I bought the KnK BD set via TRSI, so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with the product (except for still not having watched the last movie or two ^^; ). |

I find it hard to see school girl nudity as "innocent" when Shinbo is involved... especially when symmetrical docking is also involved. The nudey transformation in late night or OVA Magical Girl shows is a lot more lingering and gratuitous than something like Sailor Moon (see Nanoha, Magical Canan, Puny Puny Poemi...) |

Kara no Kyoukai - there's the etymology for you
In all seriousness though, for a top title like Madoka, they should be translating the extras. They know it's what the fans want. It's not like with DRRR!! where the fans wouldn't be willing to put out the necessary money. Madoka fans are like Type-Moon fans. The money is there. This is almost worse than the Fate/Zero boxes not getting the Einzbern Consultation Room extras subbed. You know, the scripted ones? The ones that wouldn't be nearly as hard as this to sub? |

If this was an official English release, they would likely rid the commentary extras in the first place (like they did with the series' release), either to discourage reverse importing or because it's a bit harder to translate and sub them than the series itself. This, however, is the Japanese release being imported to the West, so the commentary is going to be on there, but translating it would take way too much effort for what it's worth--especially in all the other languages as well. |

Wait, it's hard to translate the commentary? Isn't it scripted?.
And Shinbo was also involved in the making of Nanoha... how can you say it was innocent? Nanoha origins: H game. |
