According to the official web diary, the President of ufotable Kondo Hikaru said the Blu-ray box sets of Kara no Kyoukai have sold out in the US. Before the release, one of the local distributers asserted that the more than $300 price was ridiculously high in the US and that nobody would purchase it. Kondo didn't disclose how many sets have been sold, but he had a toast with the local buyers, who were also astonished at the sales. Kondo is visiting San Francisco to attend the screening of Kara no Kyoukai.

This may be a stupid question, but I am assuming that these Blu-rays are neither subbed or dubbed in english, right?

Nope. Subs included

Why there are so many rich people ?

i woulda have bought it if i had a shit ton of money. but i dont.

$300.........................seriously

Great news, I would have bought the boxset aswell if I hadn't already bought the limited edition dvd of all the movies already.

Americans are rich lol, no wonder they are a super power of this world

If only that were true. A lot of people don't have enough for this box set.

I would have bought it but I'm one that lacks $300 to blow on a box set. :( And too bad it's not dubbed. Oh well. :P

I'm very happy that it sold out! :) It's always nice to hear that there are still people willing to support the industry. :)

I don't want to see anime fans complain about DVDs being expensive after this. If you can afford a $300 boxset, you can surely afford $30 for a series you like!

We will complain as much as we want, just because there are rich people who can afford it doesn't mean we can all afford it.



No they aren't. Money isn't the reason why it's the super power, otherwise it wouldn't be right now.

>sold out
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit I wanted to buy thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis

There are still a few more left. Check out the "Quantity Remaining" at the bottom of the price. HERE

I'll get mine on Tuesday. ^_^

The premiere was yesterday, no? >_>

Yep, it was yesterday. If I remember, it's at 1:30pm. :D

U.S. anime market, I am proud. Thank you for supporting a good series with your hard-earned money while I freeload like the horrible leech I am. orz

Maybe if I actually HAD a blu-ray player I would buy it. It would just set back my anime purchasing for a while.

not really. The U.S.A right now is in a huge debt. The rich just gets richer and the poor gets poorer.

Lovely.

Well I'll be damned...
