I have the first press of this though well worth the 30 or 40 I payed when it released.

I think mine had more extra's as the Criterion only had:

a new widescreen transfer
Japanese and English soundtracks
two theatrical trailers
Yeah, the criterion laserdisc is well worth it! It comes with the extras you mentioned plus there's also a feature where you can "watch" the first issue of the Akira graphic novel and excerpts from other issues. There's a "Pencil to Screen: The genesis and execution of Akira" special feature too, along with "The Akira Archive" which is pretty awesome.

The laserdisc jacket opens up and there's extensive liner notes inside. Pretty neat, especially when back in the '90s this was the most exhaustive anime home video release to ever come out (at the time). The dolby surround on this on was really impressive too.

Yeah, totally holding out for the Funimation version next year. Hoping for even more extras, and an even cheaper price.

It comes out to about $18US shipped at Amazon UK.

It looks pretty nice in my opinion too (this is a stock image, the actual steel has no blu border)



Again: This is REGION B LOCKED

Reason is Bandai I believe. All their stuff has to rival their Japanese prices and they never go on sale. But if you're someone who really wants it...you're willing to pay that much. Say hi to my disc of Gundam Unicorn volume 1-5. Each one cost between 65-90 bucks. Hate you Bandai.

Same cause chances are it will be affordable and probably new packaging (love slipcovers). Though haven't heard any news if they have plans to re-dub it or just re-release the same version.

OOOOH. This is of tremendous importance. I couldn't remember, so yes skip it or do like I did and buy a US and UK version(stupid).

EDIT: Wrong forum, but if anyone wants the Panasonic version in the tin, I'll sell it no problem. It was hard to come by when I got it, and when I did it was fairly dinged up(I wanted it for the extras) so I'm not trying to profit too highly on it.

The steelbook is quite nice, but the disc is region locked, so only get the steel if you have a region free player or our blu ray disc to put in it.
