I live in Japan, AKA - the land that helped kill HD DVD, and ever since the announcement that HD DVDs would no longer be produced I have gone to every nearby store every single day waiting for the sales. They never happened but for some reason, now that the format is dead/dying people are starting to buy the movies here (at the ridiculous Japanese prices of $40-$80 a title). Everyday I have been looking at Afro Samurai and just willing it to go on sale. I would say there were 15 copies or so altogether in the nearest stores but they just kept reducing in number as fools kept buying them and mocking me.
Today I went in and BAM, there it was! The last copy for the "low-low" price of only $34 instead of the standard $55. I hate to call it a sale after getting all my $10 HD DVDs from the US online clearance sales but, there you have it.
My deal of the day. AFRO SAMURAI HD DVD $34
 
Woah woah what? Afro Samurai had a HD release in Japan?! English language or did it get a Japanese dub? Hell not like they have region encoding, i'm going to track this down
 
Completely english. Sadly, $34 is really cheap for Japanese HD-DVDs/BD's. Most anime movies retail for $45-$90 for one movie. Series run from $380-$500 for only 13-26 episodes.

Not one of the greatest of all time, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.
