Probably because it's listing the releases for the whole month rather than just the week? That's a new thing, right? Otherwise I'm just unobservant. Wow, look at all that manga... I count 9 volumes I'm planning to get! I guess that's about average, actually. |

Can Someone tell me why Garden of Sinners costs a freaking $598.98? I mean why the heck does it cost nearly 600 dollars?

That's MSRP, to be fair. Right Stuf is the only vendor selling it, and they're letting it go for a mere $400. Anyway, it costs that much ostensibly because it's a BD collector's set. The consensus around here though is that there is no reason it should. |

tl;dr, Aniplex is out of touch with the American industry and they're charging Japanese prices.

Well, I pre-ordered my copy of 'Summer Wars' back in Dec. so I can't wait to get that. Not to sound like a kill-joy but I really wish they would release a US ed. (or regular LE) of 'Garden of Sinners'. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Aniplex is not aiming for the American industry in the first place, so there's no need for them to keep in touch. |

Well, they did go to the trouble of doing an English translation. But yeah, I guess it's just the Japanese version being imported, rather than a US domestic release. Edit: Actually, I see from your link that "Aniplex of America announced on Monday that it will release ufotable's entire Kara no Kyoukai - the Garden of sinners film series in an English-subtitled Blu-ray Disc box in North America". That sounds like aiming for the US market to me... why bother with region-specific announcements if they don't hope it'll sell in that region. |

They're aiming for importers. If you're not the type who imports, it's not for you. |
