Fuck the value of the Yen.

Looks like I'll be waiting to see what price Aniplex USA will be selling it at.

I wish I could spend that amount on a Blu-ray box set. Sadly, I'm not that hardcore of a fan, so I'd be blaming myself for a long time if I actually bought it.

Wat?

Uncut means there are cut parts which I havent noticed yet. At least I think so.
I can think of a few parts theyll cut but hopefully its not a butchered one.
Now where am I gonna get that money? :/

That's why I hoped that a certain politician became minister in Japan, Kan or his rival, I don't remember exactly, only that one of them was thinking well by lowering the values of the yen... Anyhow.

Damn, 525 dollars. That really is sick.

damn looks expensive

I was reading this and somehow I missed the price. I was thinking that I might actually buy it. Then I saw the price. I wouldn't pay that much even if I suddenly won a million.

Hmmm, uncut makes it sound interesting, I am always fond of things that are never included and are special additions to something, however if i had 500$ lying around i am sure i could find a better use for it. But props to the hardcore fans who are devoted enough to buy this

52.5$ is probably the maximum I would pay

525 $ !!!!

it will be without me.

$525 for half the anime... Fuck off.

3000yen per episode? For a 25 episode anime that's even somewhat expensive for japan. Guess because it's all "quality" and stuff? Heh...

52.5$ is probably the maximum I COULD pay...

Well, if you think about Madoka Magica (6 Volumes à 7,350￥) which was ~44,000￥ for 13 episodes, I think the price is quite reasonable. And this was not a Blu-Ray Box of awesome, you know?

But of course for people outside of Japan that sounds somewhat hard to afford. They also have very pricey movie tickets compared to the US/EU, that's why I ask you to compare the price with recent series (like Madoka Magica above) rather than juding by the price in US-Dollar. Having said that, I'll probably wait for a local release as well.

as for the extra clip written by Nasu Kinoko (Give us Mahoutsukai already)
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

woah, i'm liking the series, but hey, thats waaaay to much for me to buy...

Not really, this is the equivalent of 9 discs at ~¥8800 MSRP each for two cour, assuming the second box is the same price, as seems likely. Maybe a couple hundred yen more per disc than I would have expected, at the absolute most.

So this costs about the same as any other two cour anime aimed at otaku. It just sounds more expensive because you're buying it in two parts rather than 8-13.

In fact it's better for importers because you only pay shipping twice rather than 8+ times. I put big orders in at Amazon Japan (9+ items each time) so I get per-item shipping down to about ¥450-500, so I'm paying ¥900-1000 (~$12-13) rather than ¥4050-4500 (~$53-59). For someone who spends more per item in shipping (smaller orders or whatever) the savings are even bigger.

Honestly I'd prefer more releases like this.

Edit: When are we going to be able to type ampersands again? Oh well at least quote tags dont break on edit anymore.

Which is fine and understandable, but you probably don't want to even contemplate imports, then.

Don't worry, I did the math. It is somewhat expensive. Most shows like this have episode-prices of 2200-2600 Yen. Nichijou is a lot more expensive, but that's a weird exception. Stuff like Hanasaku Iroha or K-On had ~2600yen per episode. It's not by a whole lot, but it is a bit expensive.
Of course that doesn't include any "extras" yet. Does the boxset have as much extras as 4-5 discs would have?

Way, way, WAY out of my reality...
Anyway, the first volume of the OST will be included in it...Gimme that Kajiurago song now!

Only subbed in Japanese and English? Because of the simulcast I thought the other subs would be also included...
