Finally! Been waiting a while to see when it would be released. I was predicting sometime in May, lol. I'm curious how the movies will hold up on Amazon...
It just shot to No.1 almost right away, dislodging the very-hard-to-unseat Evangelion 3.0 from its exalted No.1 spot it has taken since it starts to be solicited since year start.

It's much more expensive though compared to the Evangelion 3.0 BD. I recall reading something that jmal said... about more expensive BDs rising much easier in the Amazon rankings. The question is if it could maintain such a ranking for an extended period of time. It should be much easier when Evangelion 3.0 is released in April though, and having 2 movies in one BD should be more enticing that selling them separately I think.

Just wondering do you lurking to search for information or someone telling you? You seem to be realy up to date with anime news.
other anime sites announced this like 5 days ago.
You have the link of those posts in other anime sites? Because as far as I know the solicitation of the movies in Amazon started only yesterday. I am interested to see what news source other anime sites used to get the July 24th release date 5 days ago.


News about the Madoka Magica movies were indeed leaked a few days ago, but no release date of the BDs/DVDs were actually released by then. Only the day it would be available for pre-order.

It was actually just a leaked solicitation sheet:

I don't expect its #1 position will last very long though, but even if it is a few days it is quite some achievement, judging from the vastly higher number of audience and much better mainstream recognition of the Evangelion movie compared to the 2 Madoka movies. And in regards to the high price, one complaints I heard from fans is that the extras in the BD are nothing special, no OVA no CD but just some commentaries.

That one.. I see.. I have seen it earlier, but we prefer to wait for more conclusive proof before we post about it. Besides it carries no actual release date, which is the most important piece of information (and why we started a new thread to cover it). And no you did not sound rude. I was just curious about the news source those other sites used.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

That's true. It is quite an achievement to unseat the great Evangelion 3.0, even if it is just temporary. Really? Only commentaries? Doesn't it have an at least an OST or something?

Just checked. I was wrong in saying there is no CD. Yes, there is a OST CD, but given its price fans are expecting a bit more, like better packaging, grander design and some good extras other than just the OST and commentaries.

BTW, at the moment, the Limited Edition is #1 in BD ranking at Amazon, the Regular Edition is #18.

No worries. I was just wondering how it could be so expensive with just the 2 movies and commentaries. That makes a bit more sense. Yeah I guess so... the 2 movies were pretty much the same as the series with a few extra scenes and better OST.

With a lot of people already owning the whole series on BD/DVD... I can see why they are expecting more for 11.5k price tag.

The DVDs are also hanging around the 50s as well. Quite a nice rise indeed :)

I'll clarify why I released something that could be false since you're linking to my photobucket. It was this solicitation sheet combined with information obtained from an online retailer leaking the solicitations for the Madoka movies, Aoi Exorcist movie, and Garden of Sinners RE BD-Box the week prior which led me to conclude this sheet's information was correct. It was.

Not sure who is the "you" you are talking about. It is Tr1ckR who quoted your photobucket link, but about the correctness of the photo you seem to be talking about me. Actually I also think the information is very likely to be correct (with the same reasons you mentioned above), but I would usually wait for other conclusive information first. That's it. Besides, as I said, the actual release date information is not there, so even if we know the photo as 100% credible, it still does not present enough reason to start a new thread here.

8,547 yen... Meh, if they include English subs I'll buy it. (Plus that is the limited edition, so the standard will probably be cheaper)

Because it's really abnormal to have a thread announcing a movie's release date.

I admit that the anime has been everywhere across Japan and beyond, but is this really the place to be complaining?
