1.11 & 2.22 GKIDS Blu-Ray

[DTGee]

This was announced a while ago, but no one ever made a thread about it. After years of being out-of-print GKIDS is finally re-releasing 1.11 and 2.22 on blu-ay on October 21st.

The Shout Factory listings say it includes "the most current English version", so it looks like the Funimation dub won't be included. All of the same bonus features from the Funimation release seem to be here though, save for the "Fly Me to the Moon" trailer on 1.11 and the dub cast commentary on 2.22.

Updating this thread to alert it’s all out. Might try to get ‘em as the month (and next month) goes on.

I'm not sure what the licensing issues are on 3.33 are though since it seems to be the only one to not get a physical release from Gkids yet. Hopefully one day though.

It's been a while so I may have forgotten, did the rights with FUNimation expire? Usually those are contracts that take a while to change hands (hence why 1.11 & 2.22 went so long without a rerelease).

I recently ordered 1.11, 2.22, and 3.0+1.11 Collector's Edition from GKIDS. I also got 3.33 on eBay since they have yet to release that title. The first 2 movies are currently backordered, but once they're in stock again, the items will ship! I pray it's sooner rather than later.

Just received my copies of 1.11 and 2.22 from Amazon yesterday, I Went through 1.11 briefly and in case anyone is wondering i can confirm that the Dub is the same one that is on Amazon Prime with the Original FUNi dub no where to be found. On the Menu, the setup defaults to Japanese with English Subs so if you want to watch it dubbed you would have to change it from the Main Menu or change the Audio track while watching the movie. The same would apply to 2.22 as well in terms of Audio Options; the Releases go very well with my Japanese Blu-Ray of 3.333 and the GKIDS Collectors edition of 3.0+1.11 and i am glad that the releases are now all consistent with each other.

If you care about the original FUNi dubs, be sure to hold on to your old BDs as i do not foresee GKIDS reissuing the first 3 rebuilds with those dubs anytime soon
