Hope it gets more than 2000 preorders. Rewatching this in uber quality would totally kick ass.

That's a bit harsh to set an ultimatum... Buy our overpriced blue ray boxset, or we won't release this forgotten anime.

The original series was very good. I'll definitely watch this (if it's released).

I'm falling in love all over again, after reading this, heh.
But dang, that is some tough condition. If I could play BD disks and understood shows without subs, I'd buy it in an instant.
Why did they cut Noe off from the scan? :(

I feel the exact same way ... but that's how it works with business ... they need to make sure they make a profit, otherwise no point doing it for free :P

But if it is a sequel, I really want to see it :) Maybe I can finally push this series beyond my current 5th position :)

The 2000 pre-order ultimatum may be because getting Blu-ray for True Tears was most likely due to the petition kind of think that was done by people who organized this site with the support of over nine thousand fans who voted on Blu-ray-ifying the True Tears series, ranking it #1. They're most likely playing it safe by saying pre-orders of 2000 copies because according to the votes, 2000 should be a piece of cake and because they're reluctant on releasing Blu-rays when the DVD didn't sell very well (at least I think I heard somewhere that it didn't), though the main reason that happened is most likely because True Tears aired in HD, and real fans (the type of fans who are fans of True Tears) would die to buy DVD quality.

[EDIT] Though considering most people who watch anime are NEET who lurk 2ch, it would be pretty difficult to ask them to pre-order something that costs around $280

Sweet. I short sequel would be cool. It'd more like an epilogue though, and those are always great.

My favorite romance anime of all time. It is great. I watched it twice already and will watch it many times in the future.

I hope you all realize that at this point, there's a higher chance for the BD to not be released than for the BD to be released (DVD didn't even go over 3000, and True Tears is a series more popular among the later teens to early twenties (i.e people who don't have money)).

[EDIT] Especially because the pre-order is for the BDBOX, and pre-ordering dates are 11/10-12/16 and you have to pay the full amount between 12/21 and 1/6 (That's during end of the year shopping and stuff -_- students and NEETs don't have a chance...)

So basically, they're just fobbing us off for nothing. GREAT.

The Blu-ray will be green lit when they receive 2000 PAYMENTS, so it's early to be relieved.

If someone could translate this, much appreciated. Or mainly just the jist of it is fine enough. And no, babelfish is no good.

どうやら、入金数が、予定数を突破した模様です。
これにより、返金などは無くなり、確実に、発売されるようです。
とりあえずは、良かったですね。

で、まだ、入金していない人は、期限までに入金しましょうね。
入金数が多ければ、もう少し特典が付くらしいのですが……なんでしょうねぇ。

正直、あまり期待しないでおきます(笑)
P.A.Worksも新作の作業とかあるでしょうし、途中で作業をねじ込むのは、かなりキツイので、そうすると、軽めの内容にならざるを得ないだろうと。

っていうか、ファンブックに最初付く予定だった、プロモーションビデオ映像は、BDには付かないのか?
それが気になるですよ。


It's from a blog post made today, probably already containing info we already know, but well, you never know.

The December issue of Tokuma Shoten's Animage magazine, which officially goes on sale on Tuesday, includes a notice for a true tears Blu-ray Box from Bandai Visual. The box will include about three minutes of new footage as an epilogue that will depict the future of the main characters after the last television episode.

Well, this 3minute special didn't include any dialogue so it was a bit hard to understand what is going on...
Are they just deleted scenes or really an epilogue? If the later, I think the ending was better off without it :D

So was the rumored alternative Noe-ending version finally released?
I looked for it everywhere but only found the dvd-specials :S
By the way the anime has fantastic artwork, i guess it should look pretty amazing on bluray. Too bad that one has to obtain a blueray-player to watch it though.

Yes, yes, it has. (It's no Noe ending though, it's just a regular.. epilogue.) Actually a couple of days ago already. You can find it on youtube, and I posted it in my profile.. so yeah.
