Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiyah Blu-ray and DVD will be on sale this coming December in Japan, and along with it comes a Limited Edition version Blu-ray that comes with plenty of goodies, these premiums will be demanding either a Hand or a Leg…

The limited editions are priced at a cool 10,500 yen for the Blu-ray and 7980 yen for the dvd… So if you have the money, do yourself proud…

But fear not! Amazon is offering 26% and 20% discount respectively, making it barely affordable… Visit the site to read for yourself the contents…

This would also mean that we are 1 step closer to the English Blu-ray release… For right now, no one knows if the Japanese version includes any English sub or dub…

Update: It would be dumb of me if I haven’t expected it… But according to CDJapan’s product data, there will not be an English dub or sub in both the Blu-ray and DVD.

And CDJapan is now taking pre-orders for the Regular edition DVD, Blu-Ray and the Limited Edition DVD and Blu-ray, if you are still interested. For me, it looks like I’ll be giving this a miss and look forward to the Bandai USA’s release…

Nope, not talking about myself, but the Japanese Movie, “My Darling is a Foreigner!”. I have received news that the movie will be in Singapore’s cinemas starting Sept 16.

The movie is about a Mangaka finding her love of the life-time in a foreigner from the United States and how they work towards their relationship, even when the girl’s parents are against the relationship.

Of course, that will not be the only obstacle facing them. In a movie derived from the  popular manga of the same title by Saori Oguri(the same mangaka mention above), based on her real story with her husband Tony.

Acting as the mangaka(Saori) will be Mao Inoue(Hana Yori Dango as Makino). For Saori’s husband(Tony), it will be by Jonathan Ser, a comedian based in Japan.

The movie will open in Cinemas on September 16 at GV cinemas and selected Cathy Cinplexs.

Thanks to Jay for sharing this link on Facebook.

Couple of weeks back, I posted on the Macross Frontier: Itsuwari no Utahime Blu ray hybrid pack set for release on October. Still no news yet on the pre orders from cdjapan, however, there is a PV of this Blu ray made available.

And from what the PV shows, this hybrid pack may possibly means both the movie and the game will be featured in a SINGLE Blu ray disc! Wow and dang, seems like saying no to a PS3 is getting more and more remote. . .

Meanwhile stay tuned as more information and hopefully the pre order details gets released as we get closer to October.

It’s my pleasure to inform everyone that, Space Battleship Yamato, the movie will be due to arrive in Singapore’s movie theaters in the year 2011. The film will be distributed by ENCORE films, thou it’s currently unknown which month it will be arriving in.

It should come to no surprise since, the Japanese opening date for the movie is December 1st, 2010, and it’s being hailed as the biggest Japanese Sci-fi flick of the year.

Space Battleship Yamato is the live-action remake of the Classic anime from 1970s of the same name. The movie will be featuring actors, Kimura Takuya(Susumu), Mesia Kuroki(Yuki Mori), Tsutomu Yamazaki(Captain Okita) and Ueto Aya(Sarsha, Starsha’s Sister).

Kimura Takuya as Susumu(Left) and Mesia Kuroki as Yuki Mori(Right)

Other then being live-action, the biggest change will be that Dr. Sado is a female, and Yuki Mori, taking on a more pro-active role instead of her traditional support role in the anime.

Space Battleship Yamato is also known as Star Blazers in the majority of the western countries.

You can read up more in a previous post.

Either way i sure hope it will be good!
