Really happy about scryed. I still have that bulky set that bandai released and have been wanting to upgrade to a space saving case for sometime. Now if they could get their hands on Maze and Saber Marionette.
Hopefully they release symphogear soon so I can buy everything all at once.

For now, they’ve only announced plans to release the OVAs. They said nothing about the TV series, although it does appear that Funimation’s license has lapsed. |
I guess they'll pick it up if the OVAs sell well. It's a pretty beloved series, I can't imagine it not getting re-released at some point.

So another piece of lost media has been found?

I like Xander Mobus but I feel like he's too young to play Kogoro. Wendee Lee and Cristina Vee seem like good choices though.

Wow Memories, my favourite Otomo film, is getting a dub. I hope it is nothing short of excellent. I'm sort of surprised, they rarely dub any of their older titles, even Lupin titles don't always get a dub.

Some thoughts:
-A new dub of Conan without the Funimation names? Hmmm. I'd prefer consistancy, but oh well. And Wendee Lee as Conan? Hope it's not just her Konata voice.
-Memories should look gorgeous on Bluray. An English audio option is long overdue.
-More Lum on Bluray! I'd be curious to see which aspect ratio these are in. Beautiful Dreamer was open-matte like the AnimEigo DVDs of the other Lum films, but cropped to recreate the theatrical experience.

Yes, this dub was so rare people on the net thought its existence was a myth. Supposedly it's a different edit of the film that contains a scene that's missing from the Japanese version. I'm shocked they managed to actually find this lost relic. Don't know if it was ever screened in the West.

Same here, got the Aussie BD release of Memories, but will pick up Disco's version as well. A new dub should be rewarded with a purchase, plus I can show it to friends who are dub only.
I will also probably pick up Demon City, but I would prefer to have Wicked City on BD.

I can not recall the last time she voiced a boy who was part of the main cast, usually I only ever see her play younger versions or minor boy roles.

Wendy Lee does not really sound great as Conan. She just sounds like a female trying to use a male voice. She doesn't sound like a child at all.

Agreed. Old shoujo stuff in particular definitely deserves more love. Stuff like Fancy Lala, Wedding Peach, and many other shows deserve a re-release, and shows like Pretty Cure, Jewelpet, Sally the Witch, Himitsu no Akko-chan, Tokyo Mew Mew, and definitely Lady Lady deserve to be put on Blu-Ray here.'
Discotek also announced that they're no longer going to put out DVDs and putting more focus on BDs. I am kinda sad about that, as DVDs have been a big part of my life, but I do own a Blu-Ray player now, so I might as well make the transition.

It's a good movie, but it's marred by Yasuo Yamada's performance as Lupin. The poor man literally recorded his lines on his deathbed and it's painful to listen to.

I did not believe you one bit, she did a good job as TK and Yahiko. So I went and watched the trailer for the other one she did, and sadly you are correct. I would even say it is worse than that, she sounds like a female doing a female voice.
