You just always have to be a [expletive] wet blanket do you? Christ.

Considering the extras are longer than the actual episode with a pretty big book if this release is $50-$60, sure.

Totally worth getting, IMO. Hoping it won't exceed $60.

I knew it'd have English subs, but soundtrack, making of video and an artbook? Oh boy.
Hopefully importing to Sweden won't be too expensive.

I'm guessing this will never be dubbed since the Blu-ray is being done by a company composed of ex-NISA employees: http://www.fandompost.com/2013/06/20/acttil-announces-little-witch-academia-north-american-blu-ray-release/

if it was a barebones release I would consider it, but im always interested in the extras in this case all the making of stuff, production sketches storyboards, artbook, plus its a new studio and all I will look forward to supporting studio trigger however im able to do so.

I find it really amusing that an official BD release has been announced for North America before anything has been announced for Japan.

I'm glad anime is becoming easier to obtain legally and with shorter localization periods.

So when Tricker announced on their site 5/20 that a BD release was due this Summer because of fan demand, was it referring to this?

My guess is more that they are aiming for simultaneous release, just acctil's announcement on the specifics came a bit in advance. I could be wrong though...

Well, now I need to make certain that I watch it on Crunchyroll soon to see if I want to buy this. It's a really sweet release.

B-b-but... summer! Why is it all summer? After the trip to Japan, my wallet can't take much more.
