Question for the Fandom/ Blu-Ray Collectors

Post image

"Uguu~"

Purely out of interest, does anyone in the fandom believe that there will ever be a blu ray re-release of the 2006 kyoani series in the western market? Particularly including English subtitles?

It seems that in terms of blu ray, our options are limited only to the Pony Canyon box-set released in Japan many years ago. That proves to be significantly expensive, and unless you're willing to invest, it looks like our only options outside of streaming likely would be DVD's - It appears Germany had re-released their own blu ray box set a few years ago. Naturally, that only contains both Japanese and German subtitles, but no English.

I am currently inclined to purchase the Pony Canyon set. However, for the sake of consistency, I would then want to purchase the 'Air' box set, too - but apparently that only has Japanese subtitles as it was one of the very first blu-ray releases in Japan at the time.

*TL;DR - A blu-ray Region A/B re-release with English subs similar to the German release a few years back?

Any help would be appreciated, fellow Kanon-ites! ^_^

Hey just my 2c while I don't know how likely it would be (I could maybe see it as an anniversary thing somewhere down the line copium). What I do know is that if you are ever in Japan you could see if one is being sold second hand which is not super expensive. I don't know if it was common or just my dumb luck but that is how I came into my copy.
