  • tormaid said:

    Nice, can’t wait! That script should help with fansubing, oh wait they already did that :P

  • Laura said:

    Finally, woo!

  • Kyon16 said:

    so heres my question…when is this going to be in the U.S. ?!?!?!?!

  • Ansem's way said:

    ENFIN! X3
    I’m happy! I’m happy! This news is my sunshine of today! I’m so happy!
    *run everywhere in his house*
    KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! \o/

  • Loser said:

    Ugh, four more months….

  • Melissa said:

    Decemeber is sooo long from now. Haven’t we already waited enough?

  • ExSlyder said:

    If Bandai was smart, they would do a simultaneous release, since 12/18 is a VERY IMPORTANT date in the movie, which is of course why they are releasing it on that day.

    I would love it if they did something similar here.

  • John said:

    Finally!

  • ... said:

    That’d be nice, but do you guys have any idea how much 9,450 yen is?

    (Hint: it’s about $110. Awesome.)

    Even the cheapest one is about $81. I’ve never paid that much for any dvd/blu-ray in my life.

    I’m going to Thailand to buy it, cause they have an 80% discount, pre-made english subs, and no region coding. I got the whole Planet Earth DVD set for only $20. (in the U.S. it’s $100 for all the DVDs.)

  • Tchi said:

    I’m going to buy it as exclusive special edition and expensive as they sell it. No saving money for this movie. Four months is a long time, though ;_; I have mock exams before that, and school just started.

  • Mikuru said:

    Do you think someone (from japan oviously) will upload it to youtube or somewhere else?? i was like jumping like YAY when i read in japan, at leats… wait, that means if a japanese uploads it it wont be subbed so someone else who goes to japan to buy it can sub it and upload it… right??

  • TedFourSeventeen said:

    Woop!… you guys paid attention to me ^_^… as some people have read the novel and/or saw the camrip of this movie… you should all know that December 18th is a very important date in this movie… VERY important :)

  • shanghaikid85 said:

    Four more months is a long time, but its worth the wait. Even if it is expensive, I dont mind. It is worth the money.

  • Joseph said:

    I can’t wait for the DVD release. Hopefully in the USA it’ll come 1 year later at December 18 or better, earlier. I’m gonna get the Blu ray limited edition and regular dvd for it. Hopefully some sets a torrent in subs or something this year before Christmas.

  • Luis said:

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! the official release of the movie people should a least be happy that its coming cuz i seen the movie but with crapy audio and picture. But then again i’m still sad T_T that season2 is coming the same day as halo reach.

  • Survivor said:

    If there’s English subtitles included, i’m going to get the Blu-Ray the moment it is released.

  • Ahaisko said:

    Does the movie comes with english subs?

  • SOSKate88 said:

    Well, I was right about predicting the release date :)
    Plot convenience.
    Too bad I have to wait until it comes out in the US. :(
    Who knows how long that’ll take,because they’ll probably have to dub it first -_-

  • Zorm said:

    “That’d be nice, but do you guys have any idea how much 9,450 yen is?

    You might want to check your exchange rates again, bub. That’s actually closer to 10 bucks US/Canada

  • Haruhi said:

    OMG NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE SO AWESOME THNX THNX THNX THNX THNX YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    i love guys sooooooooooo much!!!! > 3<
    atcually an awnser to all the "does it come with subs?" is yes if you buy it in Japan because ive already watched it with horrible quality but yes its on Youtube.

  • Junichi said:

    “You might want to check your exchange rates again, bub. That’s actually closer to 10 bucks US/Canada”

    Um, people in the States use the comma to mean the thousands place, so that 9,450 means nine thousand four hundred and fifty yen. At the time of this post, the currency exchange makes that one-hundred and eleven USD and one-hundred and seventeen CAD.

  • Ahaisko said:

    I think the subbed version your watching is someones cam rip with subs added into it from a fansub group and not from Kyoto Animation… So I think the question still holds unless I’m mistaken

  • charlie said:

    ha ha ha.. I’m kinda happy to know that the dvd release date is the same with my birthday. lol

  • centipede said:

    18 Dec eh? What if something happen on that day? you know.. world changing events… where ppl in bandai have no idea what we’re talking about… and all reference to it was never existed…

  • KyonkoBrigade said:

    it has come at last!
    i’ve never seen the disappearance before so this should be totally AWESOME.
    curse, the times i was unable to go to the screenings. CURSE.

  • Farro said:

    Fingers crossed, there will be a season 3 teaser hidden on the DVD somewhere :P

  • ndanix said:

    Considering the amount of fans, the speed in which the fansubs work, and most importantly… The fansubs that are fans, then I estimate that before chrismass we are already going to have a subbed version of the movie everywhere on internet.

    Though the movie is probably going to come with subs, for some reason fansubs still do their own. Well, as long as I can get it before chrismass, it’s fine XD.

    Great present for me.

  • Ansem's way said:

    Hey! The Kyoto Animation web site reports that if you buy on their website the DVD or the Blu Ray, they’ll give you a little surprise, and it is a bath towel => http://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/haruhi/_src/sc1655/s_taoru.jpg
    (20 x 110 cm)…not so big… XD

    For more information, in Japanese => http://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/haruhi/goods/goods_dvd2009.html#s_disc

  • Tchi said:

    This will be the best present I receive this year. From Internet with love. And nobody’s even gonna know why I’m so happy!

  • too lazy to login said:

    if you pre-order it now it’s cheaper in amazon :) from blue-ray it’s like 8000 and for normal DVD it’s like 6000

  • Geng said:

    is that the price for the special edition or the normal? o-o 9000jap yen is expensive..

  • Ed117 said:

    Wait, if you buy it online or in Japan, will it play on US (or in my case,Uk) dvd players? If it does then great!

  • Lenc said:

    Will this movie be dubed in english ?

  • Melegant said:

    No, Lenc, You have to learn japanese before You can watch this movie.

  • Lenc said:

    Dam :(

  • Ed 117 said:

    Lenc, I think it will have English Subtitles, but the menu probabley will be in Japanese.

  • Lenc said:

    Well thats a bit of relief :)

  • Ed 117 said:

    But thats what I THINK, please dont take my word for it incase im wrong.

  • Tony said:

    Somebody whose Japanese is much better than mine could perhaps confirm or deny, but it seems the description of the Blu Ray version on KyoAni’s own site mentions only Japanese language audio, without any mention of subtitles, English or otherwise.

    http://kyotoanimation.shop-pro.jp/?pid=22472738

    Information from Kadokawa Pictures’ site seems to specifically say that there are no subtitles at all (字幕なし).

  • John Smith said:

    Lenc It will be dubbed, really it will. And Im sure it will have same cast. Do you think Bandai is stupid enough not to make money over seas? well they never release any DS Tales games but thats besides the point
    it will b dubbed Bang Zoom is taking care of that

  • Lenc said:

    Dam i can’t describe how HAPPY i am right now :) ))))

  • Jose Emanuel Cerezo said:

    Hoooray for the fans!!!!!!

  • Haruka-sama said:

    YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! im sooooexcited!!! ive been waiting for this for forever!!! i want it soo bad that i might order it from japan if it doesnt come to america on the date listed ^^

  • ... said:

    6000 yen is still $72…

    and 8000 yen? $96!

    I’ve never seen a single disc movie sell for that much, blu-ray or not. What the hell is wrong with these outrageous prices?

    (I might buy it though…)

    NO! I WILL NOT!

    (C’mon… you know you want to…)

    Am I going insane…

  • ... said:

    If they release it in America, the price will have to be cut to $20-50 for anyone to buy it. Then Japanese otakus will scream at us for not paying premium and supporting the authors…

    (Once you put limited edition on it, it is guaranteed to sell. lol.)

  • nukedude7 said:

    …say who ready to head on japan and get it ?

    anyone with me ? XD

  • Kanon said:

    OMG! LIke the day the nightmare started xD

    I just can’t wait that long T_T

    And then we’ll have to wait for the fansubers T_T

    But at least now we know^^

  • ela said:

    jeez i can’t wait any longer! no way i’m watching the camrip.

  • ExSlyder said:

    All Blu-Ray discs generally sell in Japan in the $70-90 range.

    As for why, EVERYTHING is actually expensive in Japan.

  • Constipation Remedies · said:

    bathroom towels should be maintained with a good fabric conditioner so that they will last longer *:~

  • Dylan said:

    Here’s my question, the version released in Japan, will it have English subtitles? Or do we have to wait longer for a version that does? Hopefully bandai doesn’t release a dreadful dubbed version in the U.S. XP

  • Natsuru said:

    At least it will probably come with English Subtitles, like Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works.

    OMG!! 19 DAYS TILL IT RELEASES!!! X3

  • SpicyWolf said:

    I found the raw… I think. I don’t if this is it. It looks like it, but it needs to be subbed if it is. Lol. I am so impatient.

  • Haruhi said:

  • Haruhi said:
