I'm a little pissed about this one. If I had known a bluray was coming, I would have just waited. But at least I only bought part one. I'm not sure if I will grab part two or go for this.

It was known though we didn't known how long the wait would be. A year wait (barring release delay) is faster than I anticipated. I thought the wait could have been longer since the JP BD-BOX release had both English sub and dub.

18:53:00 <bay|Ota|FUNi> Q: Phantom Blu-ray?
18:53:14 <bay|Ota|FUNi> A: Yes, but we don't have a date... it will be delayed
18:53:26 <bay|Ota|FUNi> ALso, let me explain, blu-ray rights overall, we're in the same region as japan and japan is worried about reverse importation
18:53:44 <bay|Ota|FUNi> so sometimes, we have blu-ray rights but there is a grace period between releases to lower the importation risk

Yeah, I had missed that. But even if I hadn't, it's Funimation so there was no guarantee the blurays would ever show up. I held off on Nabari because they announced plans for a bluray release later that ended up getting canceled. Xxxholic also had a bluray planned that never materialized.

Re: Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~

Oh damn, I didn't realize this was Blu-ray. I have the original limited edition releases, and I didn't like the series that much, so I probably still won't upgrade, but there is a possibility.

Re: Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~

I'm double-dipping on this. I really liked the series and want to own it on BD.

Re: Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~

I own the dvds and although I liked the show I won't double dip.

Re: Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~

So how does this release compare to the Japanese one? Primarily in terms of video quality.
