UN Spacy Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Yes. I've always wanted the original copy but never got around to picking it up. Do you know what's supposed to be featured on the 10th Anniversary DVD? On a little side note. You see that Big West! Don't you realize the importance of celebrating Anniversaries? I hope you're thinking about releasing a 20th Anniversary DVD / Theatrical Release of DYRL. Quote

TriShield Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 I already have it on DVD, maybe picking this up for the widescreen feature will be worth it... Quote

EXO Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 BTW, I guess it's time to pick up a copy, all I have is a bootleg VHS called the Wind Ninja Chronicles!!! Quote
bsu legato Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Jeeze, has it been 10 years already...? Man, I feel old. Quote
GDomino Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Nah, I'll pass...I loved Ninja Scroll back in the 90s when there weren't really any good animes to buy...But now I think the DVD I have will suffice. It just doesn't compare to any of the ones I want or have now...no matter what new stuff they put on there to commemorate 10 years....just doesn't have that "gonna be a classic" feel to it anymore like say Cowboy Bebop or Evangelion (I know Apples, Oranges....) Quote
Rune Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Jeeze, has it been 10 years already...? Man, I feel old. No doubt! I'll be getting one for sure.I always dug that movie. Quote
punk Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 I will definitely pic it up. Huge fan of Nija Scroll here. One of the first animes I ever saw. It rocked. I'm glad Manga is giving it the treatment it deserves. It's a classic. Quote
Ladic Posted May 27, 2006 Posted May 27, 2006 I want to buy Ninja Scroll on DVD (I have it on VHS somwhere). But the regular version is $15.99 and the 10 year anniversary is like $35.99. Is there any major differences between either? I dont really care for Extras, as long as the movie is in widescreen and picture quality is great, thats what I want. Which should I go for? Quote
myk Posted May 27, 2006 Posted May 27, 2006 I'd go for the 10th anniversary edition, as it seems to be designed with the higher end audio/video enthusiast in mind, featuring sub and dub in 6.1, DTS, and 16x9 widescreen. I only paid about $15 for mine, although it was online; locally it's probably about $35 which is outrageous... deepdiscountdvd.com Quote
Uxi Posted May 27, 2006 Posted May 27, 2006 Ah, definitely gonna need to shop around for that 10th anniversary. I also only have a VHS copy (and I haven't even plugged my VCR into the SXRD, though it is sitting there in the HT center). Quote
Keith Posted May 27, 2006 Posted May 27, 2006 Psst, the widescreen version is cropped from the fullscreen, the original aspect ratio is fullscreen, flip those disc's back over! Quote
Sdf-1 Posted May 27, 2006 Posted May 27, 2006 I wasn't happy with the picture quality of the 10th anniversary edition. Pixelation. Odd. Anyway, a kick ass movie. Quote

Do you know how long does that free shipping usually take for movies to arrive? I cant find anywhere in their site, their shipping transit times. Quote
Sdf-1 Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) I don't really get it how can it be so expensive locally there. It's released here too, and It's just the normal dvd price, might be discounted even. Edit: No the "normal" price really equals about $35. Unbelievable. But it's sold for a normal dvd price.
