Releases of the week - 11/17/2009

Releases of the week - 11/17/2009 photo

This week is packed with new releases, from the heavy hitters like Evangelion 1.01, and other great releases from Black Jack and Pluto. Some re-releases as well, but overall a good week for anime and manga in general. I am most excited for Eva and Pluto, but that Black Jack volume is looking pretty tempting too.

How about you guys? Are you guys interested in Eva 1.01, or would you rather hit up the Dragon Ball Z Box Set? At Japanator we're really excited about Eva and have a few articles lined up tonight and tomorrow for your perusal, so be sure to keep checking back throughout the day for some awesome stuff.

In other news, I'm bad at doing this week in releases! (And crappy rushed photoshops.)

Eva 1.0 and that's about it. Then it's time to update the wish list for xmas.

Got Pluto yesterday. Will get FMA eventually.

 
Borjones

You got it, @lyfeforce It's all about the Eva 1.0
 
Catrophy

i thought battle royale was already out? the linked one has a different cover though
 
clevetheripper

I couldn't get through 1/2 of Battle Royale. I think the gods thought it sucked as well b/c the book got drenched in soy sauce somehow.
 
kamanashi

I think I will wait for Eva 1.01 on Blu-Ray.

The two Blu-ray releases for me this week. Will get the FMA and OMG manga eventually as well.

I might have to check out the Korean Boys Over..., since I recently watched the Japanese one online, and didnt care for it much. Maybe with a different cast I'd like it more?

 
yaoigaymer

@kamanashi: yeah, I'm gonna wait for the Blu-ray version too !
 
Brad Rice

Heart you, dammit.

I'm now four volumes behind in Black Jack. So sad.
 
Miraito

Lack of blu-ray anime is annoying. I can get better quality fansubs so buying the DVD is kinda pointless unless its some cool limited edition box. And when there is a blu-ray version, it's never more fancy than just giving the HD version of each episode on a single disc (and really slim on special features). I want both: some limited edition swag or fancy box or something and the HD version... But I guess they can get more money if they release 4 episodes per disc and have like 6 or 7 releases. Its always about the money ~_~
 
THE KING OF HEARTS

I got a question. I want to start watching one piece but i'm debating on whether or not I should go out and buy the DVD or "acquire" them through other means. Are the DVD's worth purchasing and do they have all the content?
 
king3vbo

Definitely hitting up Eva
 
king3vbo

Only to realize this is the DVD release and not the Blu-ray. Never mind, I can wait for my glorious HD
 
PBz0r

DVD? Pig disgusting.
 
kamanashi

@Miraito: My experiences with fansubs are different. Upscaled DVDs always look better than the supposed HD fansub releases. Like with Kannagi, the DVD was crystal clear when I used my PS3, but when I played it with a fansub version to compare, the fansub had a more washed out and blurry look. Though, I would still prefer Blu-Ray like you do.
 
okpank

That DBZ is no season 1, it is Dragon Box 1.
