Plenty of Otomo goodness going on around recently – first with the soon to be released Kaba 2 art book, and now the 30th Anniversary SteelBook Blu-ray for Akira. Gotta love that case design !
This will go on sale from the 27th of January, and I’m pretty sure it will sell out faster than you can shout “KANEEEDAAA !!”.

Wonder which english dubbing is featured here? I always preferencji the Pioneer one.

the original English dub will never see the light of day again. the rights were lost i believe, and they spent so much money and time “remastering” it, they will never give that one up. i don’t really care as much, since the Japanese is superior to the English anyway, but that new English one really is bad.
also, goddamn stupid expensive Japanese Amazon shipping on top of already expensive items are going to break me.
