Kite DVD/Blu-ray Live-Action

You almost got my hopes up that Kite had finally come out on BD, but it's just that shitty DTV no one wanted. I can't even call this the first Hollywood release that was purely based off an anime alone (no skirting around by calling it an adaptation of an LN, VN, manga, other otherwise), it never went wide and it opened on PPV first.

A live-action movie based off of a porn anime would be an interesting tag to put it on a DVD rack to attract more customers.

Isn't Kite already on BD? It's the uncut version even from what I've gathered from the amazon.com reviews.

The prices are not too bad for when it comes to buying if you don't get some of them for Christmas.

Had no idea it was even out. Well, doesn't matter, parts of it are a goddamn upscale, and it is the cut version. Screw MB. And now it's impossible to get a proper BD from Japan because it'll be fuckin' censored, and they don't license out hentai materials anymore except to Germany because they know that incompetent German company will ruin the framerate and destroy the color information.

Good week for manga! Knights of Sidonia, Millennium Snow (it almost makes me sentimental that such a great manga is finally concluded after so many years. May NANA have that joy, too), and Assassination Classroom! I'm looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about with that one!

On another note, I never even heard of that Vampire Knight novel. I'm assuming it's a filler, side story LN written by someone other than the original mangaka?

Yes, written by a Ayuna Fujisaki. It is a collection of short stories.
