Going to have to buy Sacred Star of Milos and Fade to Black. Won't pick up the Naruto movies as after the first one, they've all been terrible.

As for the rereleases? If I have the money handy.

They can "plan" Blu Rays all they want. Untill I see a physical product on the shelf, they can just screw off.

yep, i'm not sure why they're even announcing if they "plan" on releasing any BD products anymore, surely better to just tell us when its on the shelf, that way they don't get any backlash if it never appears

Tomorrow's news: "Manga cancels above planned Blu Rays" I'll believe them when I see them on the shop shelves.

If they can manage to actually go through with releasing them, I'll probably pick up the FMA films.

I have absolutely no faith in Manga UK's plans to release anything on Blu-Ray. I'll believe 'em when I see 'em!

[quote="Ryu Shoji"Kaze have recently promised no BD cancellations.
[/quote]

I'm sure Manga didn't originally plan to cancel their BD releases Rolling Eyes Promises like that can just be empty words, so until I see these on a shelf, I'm taking anything Manga say about BD releases with a very large pinch of salt, even if they're just acting as a middle man for Kaze.

Kaze have said the reason for this is that they produce their blu-rays for all of Europe, not just the UK. For example, with the Samurai Girls blu-ray, if you choose the French language option, it has all sorts of trailers for things Kaze are releasing in France.

That means that they can afford to sell less in the UK. Also, their Blu-rays are going to be slightly higher priced than Manga's (Samurai Girls sells for about £33 online; compared to Eden of the East: Paradise Lost, which is £15).
