It looks like Manga have listed a load of releases on Amazon, including the Highschool of the Dead pack with OVA, at what I'm sure must be a missprice (£10.50 for blu, £9.50 for the DVD).

Well I've heard that the RRP is £14.99 for the BD version and £12.99 for the DVD version, so it's unlikely to be a misprint and the cover that is shown on the BD version seems to have taken some inspiration from the US release.

their two listing of High School of the Dead in blu-ray on amazon. one is listed as "High School of the Dead" @ £13.00 the other is listed as "High School of the Dead: Drifters Of The Dead Edition" @ £10.49 the different between them is that "High School of the Dead: Drifters Of The Dead Edition" contain both season 1 and ova where "High School of the Dead" is only season 1 both are blu-ray

Werewolf · 15 Feb 2013 at 18:41

Aye, I've got the old version and have pre-ordered the new to get the OVA

Demonix, I hadn't realised the RRP was that low, I guess Manga are starting to officially reduce the price of "older" releases now (IIRC the Eden of the East set with both films and the TV series is less than the original TV series was on it's own).

pecnarf · 15 Feb 2013 at 18:53

i've just pre-order High School of the Dead: Drifters Of The Dead Edition blu-ray as it is a bargin at £10.49

IronWarrior · 15 Feb 2013 at 21:26

There is meant to be a Ghost in the Shell free to play FPS coming soon.

memyselfandi · 15 Feb 2013 at 22:01

I'll reserve judgement on the new Ghost in the Shell until it's actually out given the changes in seiyuu and changes in character design.

pecnarf · 15 Feb 2013 at 22:37

not to mention from what i saw of the trailer in the ghost in shell: arise thread it look like it could be prequal to ghost in shell movie from what you see in it, for example young major learning her new cybernetics abilities.

memyselfandi · 16 Feb 2013 at 06:16

Yes ...

A new 2027 setting and storyline (edit) round out what has been described as a Motoko “origins” style story with her still with army intelligence prior to her Section 9 career.

Just watched 5 centimeters per second, thoroughly enjoyed it, it was a great story however i was amazed by the art work, the attention to detail and sheer amount of detail was mind blowing.
truely a beautiful piece of animation.

Yep, it's a great film and looks amazing (particularly on BD).

Alexrose1uk · 16 Feb 2013 at 15:42

Yeah, all of Makoto Shinkai's works are visually great last I checked

assalino · 17 Feb 2013 at 10:35

Didn't read the whole thread, but in case you didn't know... apparently Tite Kubo just made a deal for a new Bleach Anime.

He tweeted about it (in japanese)

memyselfandi · 17 Feb 2013 at 22:08

Watch the second season of Baka to Test on Funimation's BD release today.

It's generally quite a good comedy series but I don't think that it was as good as the first season. There just didn't seem to be any progression in the series.

Werewolf · 17 Feb 2013 at 23:16

That was sort of what I thought when I watched the Manga release this week.

I'm not sure what I'm going to watch next, I may throw Redline or waterworld

on tomorrow.

Just wait until the final episode of the series, it all ties together so beautifully

one of my favourite endings to a series.
