I already have MKR and since it's been languishing in my backlog (or would "pile of shame" be a better fit?) since I had played through the SNES game, so unless I happen to watch it and fall in love and it's a nice upgrade in quality, I will probably be skipping the BD release.
Lupin might be fun and IGPX wasn't bad, but I don't think I'd pick it up unless it contained the original pilot shorts as a bonus feature. |

I was expecting them to get that Lupin special. It's one of my favorites, definitely getting it.
Why is it called "Bank of Liberty" though? Shouldn't it be "From Russia with Love"? |

Maybe they don't want to confuse James Bond fans? It is the best Bond movie. |

Probably to avoid confusion with the James Bond movie. |

I've never seen a single Jams Bond film so honestly I had no idea. |

I guess I'm the only one who thinks in terms of books when James Bond in mentioned. They were really popular before the movies took over.
From Russia With Love the book came out in 1957, the movie in 1963. I expect the people who named the anime did so intentionally. |

Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas would be great on Bluray as well. It's a relatively new show and was made be on Bluray, i mean aired in HD.

Um, last I checked, Slayers had series sets available from Funimation, unless you're referring to the OVA's, Movies, or other extra's from that series that hasn't been re-released yet, or something. |

That's for seasons 4 & 5, seasons 1-3 have yet to get a re-release since 2009 and with the packaging they used for that set (book-style digipak similar to Cinedigm's complete Yu-Gi-Oh set), we would think that FUNi would have switched to something cheaper by now.
ADV used to have those but not anymore it seems since there hasn't been a re-release of them since 2008. Thankfully with them coming to Blu-ray in Japan in February, this could push someone to pick them up here again and with or without Blu-ray, this would be a good thing because the previous releases looked awful and had various issues such as most of the films being letterboxed. I would love it if Sentai or Maiden Japan picked them up so we can get some of those ADV extras back but I wouldn't be against Discotek getting them either. |

Too bad this isn't the TOONAMI CUT version which has slightly different and better imo music choices and Peter Cullen narrating the beginning and ending of each episode.
But glad the show hasn't completely fallen into the abyss of no return. |

and that itself dont make sense. doesnt CN already own the series already just like with the second season of big O? unless they gave up the rights to Production IG who animated the series, i dont see how disoteck would be able to release it let alone have the distribution rights. Also this new will mean that the chances of the lost canvas getting an uncut english dub have gone out the window. though considering that the TV series didn't sell well when ADV had released it along with an uncut english dub version (though its kinda a double standard that some otakus would bash the DIC version of SM but not their version of Saint Seiya )
I'm afraid your wrong about that. cullen didn't narrated the beginning and ending of those eps whether their the edited toonami version or the uncut dvd version when bandai had the distribution rights. that voice was used during every single trailer for every series toonami did back when it was relevant in the late 90's. sure he sounds like cullen , but believe me , it not. |

Umm Peter Cullen did Narrate the openings and next episode titles. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0487183/epcast You can go to almost any webpage about IGPX and find that Cullen did narrate them. Listen for yourself, its Peter Cullen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvYoepb0ydc |

Rayearth on Blu ray YAY! Hopefully they won't screw it up like Sailor Moon part 1 on Blu ray. My VHS tapes looked better.

Is Discotek's business model just picking dirt-cheap licenses that make people say "Hey, I've heard of that!"?
