Does anyone know if all the BD versions of the movie are subbed? Amazon Japan's page in English is useless and Google translate doesn't want to translate since it says the web address is too long. I can see both a 9000 and a 6999 yen version and wonder if i wonder what the difference is.

Woah, the formatting on those search results is TERRIBLE.

There's only the one version of the movie coming out on DVD/Blu-ray, it looks like Amazon's pricing higher if you want a limited edition Macross Delta tote bag extra with your disc.

I thought I'd spotted 3 versions. DVD, Blueray, and the Amazon Special Version (or something).

I did note it said on both the DVD and Blueray that they included English subtitles.

Thanks Seto. I'll survive without the tote bag I think :D

Yeah, I don't know what happened to Amazon Japan's english page. It used to have more info in English before.

I'm not altogether surprised... it seems like almost anything marked "Limited Edition" these days is going to come with some kind of bonus item if you preorder from a particular store.  I've got a tiny mountain of unasked-for "clear files" and other stuff from various CD and BD imports. <_<

's the reason I stick to CDJapan unless it can't be helped... everything is very straightforward there.

I also prefer CD Japan's website. But the postal service in my country takes a while to process good coming in from overseas and on top of the VAT and taxes adds a 20 dollar surcharge for administrative fees (irrespective of article price). Amazon already includes my local vat in the price I pay for shipping with DHL so it's faster, less hassle and at least 15 bucks cheaper per shipment.

Glad I browsed this thread! I had been waiting for the Delta Movie BD release for a while. Pre-ordered one at CDJapan. Thanks for the info guys!

Looks like it's actually cheaper to buy from Amazon Japan than CDJ, they're only charging ¥7063 for the Blueray (or ¥6261 for the DVD), and they will ship internationally.

Haven't checked this thread in a while. Anything extra confirmed to be included on the BD/DVD? Making of? Concert video? Sexy 1/6-scale figures of Walkure + Mirage?

Expand  

Well, according to the product listing for the Limited Edition Blu-Ray, the extra features are:

  • An AR card for use with Uta Macross.
  • Staff and cast audio commentary
  • Promotional footage
  • Karaoke videos
  • Picture dramas
  • A "Making of" feature
  • A greeting from the staff and cast

I should have gone with FedEx, for some reason this thing just went through customs in Hong Kong... why?

Hong Kong?  What shipping method did you choose?

DHL, I don’t recall choosing it but that’s what CDJapan went with.

Expand  

IIRC, DHL is their default/cheapest international shipping option... and IIRC one of their major sorting hubs for East Asia is in Hong Kong.

I could look, but I suspect the price for this movie, as movies often are when they're Japanese imports, is rather high. So.... someone please tell me if it worth the money. The official subs are already a great bonus of course, but even so.

Posted

FedEx were as good as their word... my copy rolled in at 9:30am this morning (EDT).

Posted

Mine was shipped but will take a couple of days while it clears customs.

Looking forward to the first reviews .

For the impatient or curious, I've done a quick-and-dirty translation of the VF-31 Armored Siegfried specs in the liner notes here:

Well, the TV series was pretty much Walkure Delta, so it isn't too surprising the movie is more of same.

Some quick thoughts on the film.  Kinda odd I’m the first one to review this thing outside of Japan.

Mine is stuck between Japan and Australia as it was only shipped on Monday for me, and Australia is slow for even with EMS.
