well its going for 38497yen at amazon, that is a 27% discount over the original price but it will still burn a huge hole in the wallet.

though my concern is how good the english translation would be.

i dun have the habit buying em without opening the package, put it in glass box, sealed n display it.
i wan to watch it. nothing fancy, just understandable english, with their name intact, n not some direct google translation.

I don't really need fancy subs to watch KnK. But I imagine if they would include english sub tracks they wouldn't Americanise it or anything (like what GG did). At this point, the only reason anyone would buy the BD is to enjoy the beautiful production - subs isn't really a priority anymore. At the moment I'm quite optimistic that they won't have engrish subs, lol.

(if all else fails, there's always a certain thunder god on the internet to depend on)

I heard something about free shipping from PlayAsia. Can anyone help confirm?

So the bluray box goes on sale today, but check out what I found.



Man,talk about upscaling and auto-sharping.

Let's hope that's just a photoshopped trolling attempt. But /a/ seems to provide quite a lot of nasty screenshots.

The subtitles were ocr’d and retimed. We changed Rio to Lio because of the lion line. The subs having western name order and no honorifics is how the Aniplex subs came. Deal with it. There was also a very effortless effort to proofread the BD subs but the BD subs are Pretty Good and generally make more sense than the fansubs so we’re just going to chalk up any strangeness (read: proofreading laziness) as a result of :nasuwords:.

The release order will be “some random contrived order” based on when they’re finished encoding and being retimed. … The video quality of movies 1-7 unfortunately is kinda shitty (tho still better than dvd) and I’m pretty sure we’re only doing them still because TheFluff bought the BD box and took 2 days off of work to encode them. (Very serious fansubbing!) We’ll only be doing 720p due to the quality. [/copypasta]

The rest of the movies are in some limbo of re-timing and re-re-re-encoding. Afaik, the next one that will get finished is 6.

Also TheFluff is butthurt about CoalGirls or something so there are separate FLAC audio files but idk what the f*** he wanted me to do with the files exactly. We’ll see when he wakes up. I assume a “separate FLAC pack for people who care” was the intention.

Koda pemalas. Also, the epilogue had a LOT of Nasuwords. But also a lot of scenes that would look great as wallpapers Its not often do you see an orange sky in a snowy scene.

Well, the subs are official after all. So its probably better than TakaJun's script. No honorifics is fine, but the westernised name order? Man, they could've done something about that. Then again,...

i miss Kara no Kyoukai. But I'm afraid for us plebs living outside Japan we'll only get to see it in Winter or Spring 2014

Finally, a Ryougi figure that's not in a boring pose!

If it comes out ugly I'm gonna be super sad.
