Third Window once again doing the Lord's work

4K UHD is a region-less format, so 'multi region' is only relevant if you wish to play Region A Blu-Ray discs (or indeed Region 1 et al DVDs) in which case you'll need to buy a modded player or custom firmware (which used to be available at regionfreedom, but that now seems to be defunct so I...

Rumour has it that it might be a while here as Legendary has exclusivity on Godzilla advertising for a period given the upcoming release of Godzilla x Kong

There isn't a better model on the market but it isn't multi region unless you're buying it from multiregionmagic or another similar retailer

Honestly baffled that when I asked on this thread, gosh nearly 10 years ago now, about Patlabor that I was told it was unlikely because it would be difficult to top the existing releases. Didn't think we'd wait all these years just to get repackaged discs!

I don't personally care about dubs, but the original Japanese audio track would make me double dip....I'll work with the assumption that it isn't though

Maybe one day Discotek will release one of the good Toei Doga films :p

Seems a bit ridiculous that it has got to the pre-order stage and we don't have any info more specific than " featuring Japanese and English audio options " for Patlabor, since it seems like the main selling point for double dipping would be which options those will be.

The BAFTA Best Animated Film category has always been an embarrassment. If The Boy and the Heron ends up with a nomination, it will be the first time that an anime has ever been nominated.

I'll get Patlabor if they include the original audio tracks.

Godzilla Minus One is tremendous. Easily the best kaiju film since the Gamera Heisei trilogy. It was pleasing to see the screen pretty full on a Friday afternoon. Fingers crossed for a UHD release.

It's essentially down to Spider-Man vs The Boy and the Heron and I'd probably put money on the latter at this point. Hopefully Hisaishi gets a nomination at one of the major awards ceremonies as well.

Sherlock Hound is probably my least-favourite of the pre-Ghibli series that Miyazaki was involved with but I'd still pick up a nice release. Would prostrate myself to beg for Heidi, 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother, and/or Anne of Green Gables.

Nora Twomey of Cartoon Saloon selected The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon for Sight & Sound's feature on "the greatest films you've never seen"

Just porting over the Sentai discs would be a pointless endeavour. We need the original audio tracks; anything additional would be gravy, but the Making Ofs have never made it onto a Blu-Ray AFAIK so it would be nice to see them rescued. Ideally, we'd get a 4K UHD release as lord knows they...
