| Quote: | Beez Entertainment is proud to announce the first wave of Blu-ray releases to come to the UK as part of Bandai Visual's simultaneous worldwide release plans to bring anime to international fans faster!
Starting from November 11th, the UK will receive its first full length OAV series on Blu-ray to the UK in the shape of the limited edition release of the Freedom OAVs in one 4 disc box set.
FREEDOM is a groundbreaking Sci-fi anime series in which a restless youth of a moon settlement Eden venture outside the rigorously controlled environment and head towards Earth, a world known to have been destroyed.
Following this, on November 24th, 2008 to the UK – Gunbuster vs Diebuster the movie boxset!
Gunbuster was the first commercial success of the fan turned pro studio Gainax and the directorial debut of acclaimed creator Hideaki Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion), GUNBUSTER casts pretty girls and giant robots in a moving tale of interstellar naval war and is a story of a young girl’s struggle to pilot the ultimate weapon
Gunbuster 2 (aka DIEBUSTER) is the epic sequel directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki (FLCL) is set thousands of years after GUNBUSTER, and focuses on a space pilot wannabe named Nono from a lonely snowbound village. Her efforts lead her to join the elite teenage pilot group called Topless in order to defend the Sol System with their superpowers.
Coming as a 3 disc boxset with a bonus Blu-Ray disc. The 2 movies will also be available individually. |
Full BV press release- with the price -

Freedom will be dubbed in English as well as Japanese - thank goodness! Youch on its price (£69.99!) but it is a 4 disc boxset, and specs seem good (Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and PCM 2.0 audio) so i'll probably get that one for Christmas.

Interested in getting the 2 film boxset so will be keeping an eye out for that one.
From what I can tell Freedom's a 6-part show, so I'm wondering what's on the 4th disc. It's a bit expensive for me tbh but you never know... |

You didn't look in the right place -
"In November, the entire series, including the as-yet-unreleased seventh episode will be brought out in a box set containing four Blu-Ray discs. In Japan, the box will be priced at 20,000 yen (US$187). The North American release is set to retail for US$139.98. "
From the Honneamise AX panel report.
