Talking about Mai Mai Miracle, why isn't there a review of that on ANN? It has a Blu-Ray release.

I looked for it. There is no Region A Blu ray OR Region 1 DVD release available for Mai Mai Miracle that I could find. I don't like going by Amazon's list but even looking at the wiki entry for Mai Mai Miracle there's no indication it's been picked by ANY American distributor. That's probably why there isn't a review. This film Justin just reviewed doesn't have a scheduled theatrical release for the US, either. In This Corner of the World has been licensed by Shout Factory (according to the film's English website) which does all kinds of DVD and Blu ray releases... They're not really known for anime so much (beyond Transformers and the Japanese TF series which weren't shown on American TV) but they do have the current home video license for The Last Unicorn which was made by people who later worked at Studio Ghibli. Supposed to be the best home video release for that film, btw... EDIT UPDATE: Looks like there was a limited edition Kickstarter Blu ray for Mai Mai Miracle (multi-region Blu ray) for people who funded the English dub. It's harder to find this online and they charge a ridiculous amount for it at the usual suspects (auction sites). They finally did an official Japanese release (Region A Blu ray) BUT the catch is that it ships only in Japan so you can't buy it directly from Japan. There are other import shops outside of Japan that will sell the Japanese version but it'll cost a bit more. The Japanese release is probably about the same as the Kickstarter release. Darn shame there wasn't an official US pick-up for this film... Sounds interesting but I'm not in the habit of paying $60 or more for anime features. Not anymore! |

There was a Kickstarter run by Anime Limited out of the UK for a DVD/BD release, which I authored. The Kickstarter was open to North Americans, and the disc is region coded accordingly. I'm a bit surprised Right Stuf isn't stocking it, but ordering from Amazon.co.uk with international shipping only comes to US$31.
August 11. Was announced last month. animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2017-05-19/shout-factory-and-funimation-films-bring-animated-feature-in-this-corner-of-the-world-to-u.s-cinemas-on-august-11-2017/.116340 |

Last year's limited edition of Mai Mai Miracle was exclusive to kickstarter so you'll only by able to find it on tout sites, but the standard edition was released just a few weeks back. It's probably too soon for the movie to appear on Amazon's US site, but like Justin said, you can find it on the UK version for a reasonable price. |

Looks like a true masterpiece. I have very high expectations for this film now.

I read "In This Corner..." on that online paid site for mange, direct from Japan and well translated (name now forgotten). This is one of the few pop presentations I've ever experienced where the old reviewer's saw, "I laughed and I cried" totally applies. It's unique.

I remember seeing a teaser trailer for this on YT and someone said "Japan still has a victimhood culture" regarding WW 2.
Needless to say, I was rather dumbfounded by that person's statement. |

Can't wait till Funimation releases this on Blu-Ray. BTW, does anyone know if any American company has gotten the rights to 'A Silent Voice'?

Shout Factory actually has this, though Funimation is helping with the theatrical release. And no American company has grabbed the US rights for A Silent Voice from Animatsu yet. It will most likely be Funimation, but it's not a guarantee. |
