D. Gray Man English DVDs

[raekah.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place >_<;;

I wanted to ask, since D.Gray Man's Box Set Part 1 Season 1 is coming out in English on March 2009; Does anyone know how many episodes it is? It's $60 retail, but I know Japan has come out with 4 parts(13 episodes each) to season 1 >_>;;, so I'm assuming that it wouldn't cost that much for only 13 episodes?

God, I hope not. D;

Actually, sorry to say this but $60 for 13 eps sounds about right. Thats around £30-£40, around the same as the bleach part season DVDs in most shops here. To be honest, its not bad...here we get the 4 ep DVDs for £20 >_<

Does anyone know what VA's they've chosen? Or are they only subbing it? Not that i mind either way, just curious lol. I really like the Japanese voice cast, so likely i wouldn't be watching it in English anyway *silently fangirls over Lavi's Seiyuu*

I hear you, are you in the UK? D: Because I am too and it's a goddamned vicious cycle. DD8 Studios say that prices are so high because of piracy and illegal downloading, but fans say they download etc. because they cannot afford £20 for 4 episodes.

I can see both their sides but... that doesn't help any. It depressing. *le sigh*

:P I agree on the Japanese VA's. But I'm more of a fan of Kanda's VA because I'm a Final Fantasy addict. *__*

yup, i'm a Brit ^_^

Yeah, thats all a bit crap tbh...especially now when no-one has any spare money. As much as i love getting anime DVD's, if my choice is one anime dvd with 4 eps, or a weeks shopping, i know where my money's going ^_^;; Well...i guess theres not much point in debating all that - but i am glad that the industry is starting to change (even if its a long time before we see those changes here...)

lol...He was Susumu in PMK too...but Lavi's Seiyuu has been in boys love/yaoi anime, so i can't help but adore him all the more for it!

*Feels both your pain as she to is a Brit* Its crazy the price we pay for DVDs over here, not to mention the rate of release. I tend to import my DVDs becuase its cheaper in the long run -_-

I download but I do buy the DVD's when I have the money. I'm wondering if its worth waiting until they release a proper boxset rather then forking out £20 a go.

[xdark-faex.livejournal.com]

^_^ yay, more Brits.

yeah....i rarely get the single anime dvds unless they're in the sale, or pre-owned (CEX is awesome for that...got whole Fruits Basket set for under £20 - its £50+ in HMV) If its an anime i desperatly want, i'll import it - screw waiting 2 years for it to be released here (or worse, we find out it wont be released. Hopefully DGM wont be one of these.)

[kara-angitia.livejournal.com]

Yep *waves* Hey there fellow Brit ^_^ I don't think I've ever bought an anime DVD brand new from a high street shop. Maybe something in CEX(they do rock :P) but I use a site called United Publications ^_^ tis very good. Yeah! Screw the 2 year wait, I know it takes a while but England is like the anime backwater of the entire world.


*spots Amecon in your interests* Eep! Did you go to Amecon this year?

[xdark-faex.livejournal.com]

^_^

Oh, cool! I'll have to check that out sometime...though i expect my bank acount wont thank me for it :P I'm supposed to be saving up for Cons.

And yup, i did. I've been the past 3 years ^_^ *checks out the photos on your journal* AH!!! LAVI!!!! I'm pretty sure I pounced you for a photo at some point ^_^

[kara-angitia.livejournal.com]

Really, same here! Awesome ^_^ did you go as anything, I might have spotted you. Yeah I think I was the only first costume Lavi there which was kinda cool really.

Ugh, don't remind me about saving for cons. I'm off to Aya next year and the accomadation for that is probably going to be £200 -_-. United publications is quite good for manga(£5 a book sometimes!) but the DVDs are a bit pricier but I trust them more.

[xdark-faex.livejournal.com]

Cool ^_^ I was cosplaying Fai (Tsubasa), Okita (Peacemaker) and Sanzo (Saiyuki). I'm hopefully going to be Allen (and if i can pull it off, Lavi) for Kitacon and Ayacon ^_^ Hopefully i'll see you at Aya!

I know that Funimation has broadcasting and distributing rights up to episode 51, which is kind of the first season and (based on the info on the new A.I magazine with an article about it) they will be releasing it in half-season box sets. Personally, I'm excited! I always try to give both the english and the japanese dub a shot, and if it's terrible then better luck next time.

But if Funimation tries to recreate another british accent I may have to kill something.

[xdark-faex.livejournal.com]

hehe. To be honest, i'd rather hear someone attempt a Brit accent than to hear everything 'Americanised'. No offence to any Americans, but i do like the thought of a British character remaining British.

[rena-remy.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Did not know that. Information is good. :D

That aside, I think they might try to do accents, but... yeah. We'll see...

*wants to know the voice cast*

[kaiamara.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see how they attempt the accents. A few of the characters wouldn't retain accents anymore because of how young they were (eg, Lenalee) when they were taken. I assume most of them would have British/British-esque accents.

I've been scouring google, looking for the English VAs. The only one I was Dan Green but I'm thinking it was a joke as it said, D.Gray-Man Voice of Pregnant Akuma (English)
