FUNimation does have BD rights to Black Lagoon S1&2. We just don't know when it will be released.

Looking around at the European Amazons, theirs are marked as coming during May/June, and they already have their cover art displaying. Hopefully the US will have their versions out during that time too. I'm really looking forward to BL on bluray, along with lain, Haibane, and Hellsing. Need to start saving for those ASAP. Be nice |

You know, I think having the first Madoka LE box ship more than a week before the street date spoiled me... because I'm beginning to get a tad impatient about waiting for a shipping confirmation about this second one, hah. I was hoping that it'd ship to campus before I went back home for Easter weekend, but I guess not...
Checking my Right Stuf account, it does look like it was supposed to ship early, on April 2nd... but then it wasn't, I guess?
Might this have to do with the status of the LE order being "all backordered?" |

I might have considered double dipping on Garden of Sinners if there was a dub, but it doesn't sound like that's happening. Oreimo is still a huge pass for me...what a turd .

Well, Puella Magi Madoka Magica V.2 is showing up as being reserved for order as is the Aniplex attachment. Anyone what that is supposed to be? I hope it's just not another postcard.
For me, the only thing they have over the NA release is the price and since it's not in English I don't see the point in saving the $25. |

I wasn't saying I was going to buy the Italian version just that I found it interesting and maybe more attractive than what we are getting in the NA market. I'm not a figurine person, but I thought that was a nice addition plus I prefer my artboxes to be solid not flimsy cardstock. Also when you factor in all 3 releases its a $75 savings not $25, which makes me think they are getting a pretty good deal over there. |

I wasn't trying to suggest you were. I just was giving my differing opinion on the Italian release being a nicer deal.
If you look closely at the pictures, you can see where the flap folds in on the spine, so the box most likely falls in with the flimsy cardstock artboxes. And while the NA box wasn't chipboard, it was still a nice box and not what I would call flimsy.
I wouldn't care if the savings came out to $100. It doesn't have English and I don't speak Italian. A show I cannot understand is not a good deal no matter what it costs me. For someone who knows Italian it would be a good deal, but I don't. |

And that's what I said. They (the Italians) are getting a pretty good deal. Jeez louise I was just trying to express my envy for Italian prices, I'm not looking to start an argument about prices. |

I just received my Volume 2! Happy days!
Okay, I'm not waiting around this time for a camera to record myself opening it. The little card attached to the side of the box on the LE states that there's just one 2-sided poster, but there are two in the box. I like 'em! (I'm gonna need to post up the Sayaka feeding Kyoko one). The book has interviews with Akiyuki Shimbou, Eri Kitamura, Ai Nonaka and a conversation with Urobuchi and Shimbou. The 4-koma panels are still translated the same way as the 1st LE (words to the side and below the panels). Haha, I love the "I'd Never Tolerate Such a Thing" and "Kyoko Is Stupid... So Stupid" ones. I think I'll listen to the OST while I'm working at my computer today. I love the shiny blue lettering on the cover. I still wish the cover of the box would have followed suit with the characters on the DVD and blu-ray. I want Sayaka and Kyoko grouped together. Oh well.
It's a postcard. The picture has Madoka, Kyubey, Sayaka, Mami, and Homura on the front of it, and the back shows the 3rd volume LE that WTK posted. Some peeps on Fandom Post must have received theirs as well and probably have pictures up (I'm not checking that place while at work... I've gotten pop-ups before and I don't trust going to that page unless if I'm on my computer at home). |
