Wow thats absurd. I took a wild guess at what the price would be prior to reading this and I was still $200 off. Thats basically $50 a disc. The average new release Blu Ray Movie is what $25? Good luck selling that. Ridiculous.

Of course, that is the suggested retail price before discounts. Still, that's a bit too much for a mediocre anime series. It's like buying a Xbox 360 all over again

Actually, from what I see, there is also a data-book over there(maybe someone scans it :D)
Anyway, can't wait to see the epilogue, which I hope it will be posted in the near days.
But 400$ ? That is I think a little too much. I don't live in America and I don't think I will live there anytime, but for my country's standards, that is a lot.

Well, it may be just your opinion that Kara no Kyoukai is a mediocre series. After seeing your list, of course you wouldn't like it, but there are many Kara no Kyoukai fans out there (actually I know that all my friends that watched Kara no Kyoukai liked it), myself included :D

I thought that too, until I looked it up on an anime webstore. They list the MSRP at $598 but your price is $398... what a deal your getting!

60 dollars per movie?

That might be a zoinkers amount of money compared to Generic Movie X but that sounds about worth it based on merit. It probably would've been better as seperate releases. Not sure if they did that already, but hey I don't live in North America.

I wonder how many people in the US are actually going to buy this once it is released.
I won't be surprised if the number is big.

It's the same price for Gundam Unicorn which is in the exact same situation as Kara no Kyoukai. Simultaneous worldwide release.

Hmm... first I thought it's only a Japanese release that happens to have English subtitles but now it seems that it's the US release too... so I assume there won't be any release with a dubbed version of the anime. $400 for subtitles only is way to much, sorry.

*very disappointed* T_T

The price killed the thing. In Japan, it would work since crazy hardcore fans can spend crazy amount of money.

In NA, not so much. Even if fans are crazy, they are not THAT crazy. What is this? I can buy a new laptop with that money.....They better justify the reason behind the high price (extra materials, figurines and bonus expensive goodies?)
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

$400?! (600 retail) even if you paid for seven individual at normal retail price ($25) it wouldn't amount to that much. Granted this is seven movies but they're an hour each. And this is a sub only. It has an art book but not all of us want art book.

Funny, in theory a direct licensee (Aniplex America) that releases a product with no dub the product price should be lower. Well done Aniplex you screwed over your own product's chances in the NA market.

I am very excited about this release. As a collector I think it is pretty cool. I've set my pre-order, and I can't wait!
Well one thing I've learned from this experience, is that a princess is still a princesss even when she is naked.

I smelll a troll, yessir i do.


Calling the awesomeness of Knk a "mediocre anime series" should be considered a symptom of mental illness.



Anyway as fo rnews....soooooo buying it....preferably three copies, so i can safeguard one in vacuum or something, unopened, gift the other and enjoy/use the third :3

Saw the price, guessed that Aniplex was behind it and laughed when they were.

I would have paid normal prices (i.e. western price = $30) for each of the movies separately but a little under $60 bucks for each part? No freaking way.

Edit: Evidently $400 is the discounted price, the MSRP is $600. LOL.
