Maybe just contact the site and ask? You're probably one of the few willing to pay that price for the LE, so I'd be surprised if they weren't generous with the details. |

I was going to mention that you can also get the BD set (along with the tapestry) for ￥35,800 on ami. |

Import sets like these generally don't subtitle or translate the extra content. So other than the extra translation guide for the 50 page interview for the US Import Version don't expect the Novel and other bonus content to have the same treatment if you import it.
This set is really for people who don't care about a English Dub and want to own the show now, and can't wait 2-3 years. |

And only $398.98? What a steal! (Though I take it this means there were no singles for the Japanese release?)

I'd love to import this but the English Dub of Fate/Zero was absolutely fantastic. I wonder what Hanabee are going to do with the Aussie release

That's what I'm expecting given my experience with Aniplex US import versions, but as whiskeyii suggested, I'll still probably give them a call to double check. If it doesn't that just makes my decision much easier anyway.
That's what they did with Fate/Zero, as far as I know, so I'm expecting the same thing here. I don't know what other series, if any, Aniplex has released like that, but I'm glad they do it with Fate at least. |

If I was a big Fate fan, then I would buy this set in a heartbeat. Right now, I need to finish my collection on other import anime titles first so I would have to put this on a hold.
I have great respect for fans who bought Fate/Zero BD box. One time, I remember seeing a fan who had that boxset for Gen Urobuchi autograph session at a convention. I told him that he is giving the ultimate respect for the writer because ghetto posters and pirated merchandises still lurk around. |

Wait, does this mean the Japanese release is subtitled? The amazon.jp listing doesn't mention that at all.

I'd love to own this set but the price is too rich for my blood.

Okay. Let's not start "Aniplex is rip-off" ranting. |

Yeah...think I'll wait for the release that has an english dub and is only around $150.
I simply can't understand how a 13 episode set could be this expensive. |

I'd think so. They said it's the imported Japanese release, and unless the discs already had subs they'd have to reprint them. I don't have any Aniplex releases to check that fact, but that would be the logical conclusion... Those who don't particularly care for the translated booklet are better off with just importing the Japanese release. Heck, even with the wall scroll edition and customs fee(?) you might come on top... At least you have it better, here in Finland there's a customs fee of 24% on importing stuff like anime/manga/games/figurines, and that's calculated on both the price and shipping. Makes me almost rip my hair on stuff like calendars... |

Sorry Aniplex, not this time.
I am NOT buying these import sets @ $400/$500, then find out you're releasing the domestic sets (w/ a dub, no less) at a lower price point. Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me!

This is ANIPLEX we're talking about. If they could release 13 discs they would.

So, Japan's economy blows up, the yen goes up to like ~200 yen per dollar, and suddenly Aniplex of America's biggest competition is its own parent company through direct imports!
That's a future I'd pay to see... Wait actually no please god no, I get paid in yen don't I? |
