Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release

[90sDBZ]

So Manga have announced their release before even Funi have announced theirs. It comes out December 10th. Can't wait for this. Who else is hyped?

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Not only that but a short theatrical run beforehand too
Hyped is an understatement!

Does anyone know if it is the extended version or not? Hearing that they licensed from FOX as opposed to Toei has me concerned. If it's the theatrical cut then I'll pass on it. Only want the extended version.

Not going to pre-order it from them because FUNimation has hands down the best translator(s) for Dragon Ball and Manga UK.. well, who knows who is even doing it or if it even has.

Really?! Where was the theatrical release confirmed? I haven't been able to find anything on it.

It'll most likely end up being the exact same translation. We at least know Madman are releasing it in Australia so chances are we'll get their version which will probably be the same as Funimation's release.

The old Pioneer DVDs had English subtitles for the Japanese audio tracks but unfortunately they'd use the dubnames, and yeah, I bought the Pioneer (film singles) for the 'Ocean Dub' though it's still good to check out how the subs on those sets are for the Japanese side.

Let's not forget that it probably it'll just be a plastic Blu-ray case without a slipcover as they're always trying to cut down costs so another reason to go with FUNimation.

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods has also been licensed by the company for a DVD and Blu-Ray release on December 10th. The film will also enjoy a handful of theatrical screenings, including an appearance at this year's Scotland Loves Anime.

Well actually they are beginning to produce more slip-covers for the titles now, and their movie releases generally seem to have slip-covers anyway and it some cases they get a steelbook treatment. Besides FUNi are more or less locking their BD's to region A now, Fairy Tail Part 1-10 were A,B & Parts 11 + are now A only .

Hopefully they to announce the list for the theatrical runs by the end of July so we can plan ahead, also hoping Amazon lists the blu-ray pre-orders before September(as my 5% student discount runs out then )

[dbboxkaifan]

If they're now starting to produce more slipcovers that's an improvement but how the subtitles turn out to be is still a more important matter because I couldn't careless about the English dub due to not going touch it.

Edit- if that 12 week thing is true, then we'll get screenings September.

Can't say I'm interested in buying it on Blu Ray but a UK theatrical screening has me intrigued. Will be interesting to see how many fans show up.

[samuraix123]

So this is definitely coming to the states around November or December? If so I'm going to lay back some money for it right now. lol

Hard to say definitely since nothing official has been announced here besides the theatrical run, but there is a good chance seeing as how Manga UK is releasing it in December and they usually just repackage FUNi's releases.

Heck, I might fly over to London just to watch it in the theaters

I'm super hyped. Would be prepared to travel to see this but hoping for a Newcastle Odeon or Boldon Cinema release so I don't have to!

Awaiting more details from Manga UK. Was a pretty low key announcement. Bullet point number 5 on an instagram post... I guess they're waiting until tomorrow for a full announcement?

I guess they bullet pointed it in the order they announced it, best till last .

I would be prepared to travel too, as we don't know if something like this will ever happen again.

Certainly best til last, but you'd have thought they'd be like LOOK WE GOT BATTLE OF GODS! It's a pretty big title for them to get and so soon too... I guess they're just waiting til Monday though.

Travelling for this would cost a bit more but probably would be a hell of a lot of fun too. Where ever it would be, I'd be able to make a day of it!

Edit: Just watched the announcement from Manga UK (the audience could have been a bit more lively?) doesn't he say this will be going out on 300-400 screens? So wouldnt that mean everybody in the UK has a good chance of at least having a showing close to them?

Out of curiosity, how old are you UK folks and roughly whereabouts are you situated? Would be cool to at least say hi or grab a drink or something if there's a bunch of us near one of the showings.

Or...I mean, we could be typically british and antisocial!
