Well.... hopefully it'll be cheaper than Aniplex's prices... I don't wanna even imagine how they'd price it. yeesh!
Still, BD isn't a bad tradeoff. I personally thought Media Blasters was gonna get this one; it's kinda their style. No dub though..... aww, man... |

It is a combo pack they are offering for sale. You get both DVD and Blu-ray.

NISA - you people are GODLY!!! Katanagatari was one of my favourite shows from last year and I was desperately hoping it would get an R1 release. I love your premium editions and will be snapping this one up, for sure. I was hot and cold on Arakawa - started watching it, dropped it, re-started and finished it. I'll buy it too, because I want to own all of NISA's output. I'm very impressed with NISA's taste in licenses.
... Any chance you fine folks might get Bakemonogatari at some point?

Yes! I've been wanting to check out Katanagatari for a while now.
My thoughts exactly. |

Or even Kaiba? I can picture them getting the series and releasing a very pretty box for it. God it would look so good on Blu-ray. ===D: |

It's a matter of cost. Bakemonogatari is/was an extremely expensive license. The cost of licensing the show would be very difficult, even sub-only. However, I have a feeling the asking price may have come down some, so we may hear something on it this summer. Or the rights holder could have their head firmly implanted in their asses. It's really hard to call. |

I'll get both, not a big fan of the oversized boxes, bought Wagnaria, and it feels so out of place with all my other (have they announced a disc replacement program yet? It feels like it's gonna cost a decent amount to send the whole box back to TRSI), kinda waiting on a complete/regular edition for Toradora/Deity, but maybe if I get enough of them I'll find some place to put them.

Looks like Arakawa will be added to my shopping list. I totally don't mind the sub-only format since I can't imagine the series dubbed, and even if I could I wouldn't watch it in English.
With Kanatagatari licensed, let's hope Bakemonogatari will as well! |

Interesting. Didn't think they would do so well so fast.

Their past releases have been around 59.99. Funimation's combo sets are around the same price as similar DVD boxsets, since apparently having only one SKU# helps level off the costs [ie- it's cheaper to ship/track/package a 4 disc set than seperate releases for some titles], so I'm assuming this will be the case for NIS too. I'm guessing these shouldn't be too expensive. It looks like we'll be getting around 13 eps of content if they match NIS's previous sets [in Katanagatari's case, 6 hour long eps] |

I love Katanagatari, I'll probably be picking this up, but I think it deserves a good dub. But I shouldn't complain about a show on my wishlist being picked up. (Hopefully NISA can put out a problem-free release this time).
As for Arakawa, I actually just got around to watching it a few weeks ago. I'm on the fence with it, I generally like SHAFT, but it was kinda boring. Kinda like Bakemonogatari with most of the fun drained out. It was kinda like Pani Poni Dash in that it was all "Let's see just HOW WEIRD we can be!" |

Does anyone know how much the price for the Katanagatari box will be or, let's say, assume it'll be on a reasonable basis? Cause I got no knowledge when it comes to animes on the american market, but I'd be willing to import that set into my country (if the price including shipping would be within an acceptable range that is).
Thanks in advance. |

Heh, I think I just mentioned a while back that NIS had nothing I wanted at the moment. Well that has now changed.
Will be picking up Katanagatari. Why the crap was this licensed before Bakemonogatari though? Not that it needs to be because they're not releated, but Bakemonogatari is the more popular one of the author's works and a better show in my opinion. |
