Spirited Away to be release 29/03/04

According to play.com here.

The prospects of a nice 2-Disc version is definetly great, and I was assured the last day that it wouldn't be released untill the summer in the UK... So this is a nice suprise! The extras look nice also.

I can't say I like the artwork for the UK DVD though.
The US version was by far cooler:



And the cast listing on play doesn't include the US dub cast, so I'm worried that the dubbed version mightn't be included. I'm more than likely going to watch it in Japanese with subtitles anyway, but the option to watch it dubbed is always a nice thing to have, especially seeing as the dubs for previous Miyazaki films have been easily some of the best, and featuring some very good actors. So it's great to hear a different actor's take on basically the same character without bad pokemon style voice acting. I especially liked Billy Crudup, Minnie Driver and Billy Bob Thornton's voice acting in Princess Mononoke.

But thankfully it's being released quite soon, so I shouldn't complain.
Especially over something as trivial as the cover art.

Be funny if the guys working there saw you go to the kids club showing reapeatedly. Probably get reported to the cops.
Saw the film in the Kino in Cork last year, had been a long time since I'd watched anime so wasn't expecting much. Turned out to be my fav film of the year.

Cover art for the UK edition is a bit kiddy.

Woah... I got this on R1 DVD nearly a year ago . While "The Making of Spirited Away" documentary on the first disc rocks, the only thing on the second disc is the storyboard comparison version of the movie, which wasn't nessessary to be honest. They could have done something better.

Angelwhore, it will have the dubbed soundtrack. Sure it even says "English" on the language bar under technical details .
