Is this a sign of an impending newbie influx?

Even though Utena's voice actress is no longer with us, a spin off focused on the eventual fate(s) of those from the remaining cast  would've been so fly~

That, or give us SKU, the Next Generation, where the now 29-30 yr old young mom Utena can get a new, more mature voice; the show now can focus on her and Anthy's (remember how she can switch gender ala "Mamiya?") love child, and her (or his) angsty entanglements with the largely unholy offsprings of the Student Council bunch

Do want.

Except I don't have any blu-ray at the moment, so now I'm not sure what to do. Get the DVDs or wait in case I get a blu-ray.

Oh well, I'm in no hurry to spend more money right now.

I wonder if they'll do a few more upgrades for this release.

Maybe fixing the spinning roses more? Redrawing the frames that they show up in (the original ones are jumpy with blurry brown edges)? Fixing Anthy's disappearing glasses during the second sword drawing? Fixing Anthy's dissappearing hand during the staircase climb?

They'll need selling points like these to convince buyers of the original boxsets, after all.

I've been searching for news about the Blu Ray release, and I found this article which seems to talk about the screening event and how it was. Ikuhara, Chiho Saito, and Tomoko Kawakami's Mother were there. Apparently this will also come with a stuffed Chu-Chu. There's also a link to the Blu-Ray release's official Twitter account. If anyone could translate any of this, that'd be awesome.

Lucky for you, DVD and Bluray regions are not the same.

USA and Japan are in the SAME bluray region. No hacking necessary. Any Japanese bluray you buy will play here in the US straight out of the box.

Do want. I personally love the cover. Sad that I probably won't be able to afford it for quite a while...

It's a nice thought, but... I'm not in the US.

My mistake, I didn't remember where you were from. Your next-best bet is to see if it will be a region-locked release or not.

That is kind of cool, but since I lack a Blu-Ray player and money; I think I'll just stick to my re-mastered DVD set and the awesome ring I got with it.

Also, since it's the Japanese set it's probably very expensive and would be hard to watch since it probably doesn't have English subs. I guess it's a nice collector's item though and at least it will actually play on Blu-Ray players in the US and Canada.

It's possible, if perhaps unlikely, that the Japanese blu-rays might in fact have English subtitles included. This has been known to occur on some blu-rays - the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha movie, for instance.

Unable to watch in my region ;A;

I wonder if Chiho Saito's art style has changed much after all these years.

Any larger images?

Also, this might give me the motivation to buy the same series again for the third time.
