Member waywardsage Posted July 31, 2012 Member Share Posted July 31, 2012 Wow! Samurai cinema just keeps getting better for this banner year of releases! The Daimajin trilogy, (long out of print) is getting released by Mill Creek Entertainment on a blu ray set! It will be released September 18th! Now I'm glad I didn't go crazy and buy that inflated Ebay DVD set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KyFi Posted August 2, 2012 Member Share Posted August 2, 2012 Cool. Those are really awesome, unique movies. I have that original R1 box set, but those are non-anamorphic prints---I imagine the bluray is going to be a drastic improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gaijin84 Posted October 17, 2012 Member Share Posted October 17, 2012 Just revisiting this... did anyone pick this up? It's on Amazon for $16 and change. Reviews/reports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member waywardsage Posted October 17, 2012 Author Member Share Posted October 17, 2012 My copy is on its way in the mail! I will report soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member waywardsage Posted October 21, 2012 Author Member Share Posted October 21, 2012 I got it in the mail yesterday. The packaging is great! Two of the films are on one disc and one is on another. Not sure if the disc with two is dual layer or not. But I would assume it is. I haven't had the chance to watch any of them, but I popped it into my PS3 and previewed a few scenes. They all look amazing! The blu ray image is outstanding and is easily the best showing of these films ever. When I can sit down and watch them, I will report in and give a more in depth review. But so far, it's a no brainer to pick it up off Amazon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gaijin84 Posted October 22, 2012 Member Share Posted October 22, 2012 thanks! can't really beat that price for 3 films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tosh Posted October 22, 2012 Member Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm really surprised they never made anymore of these, maybe they're gearing it up for a reboot. Love how they mixed a great Samurai/period piece with Kaiju, that made these movies unique. I know it's from Daiei, but I'd love to see Godzilla go at it with him, guess Toho did have a similar concept with King Cesear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member inframan Posted October 22, 2012 Member Share Posted October 22, 2012 Is it only on Blu Ray now? Are the DVD's still OOP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member waywardsage Posted October 26, 2012 Author Member Share Posted October 26, 2012 DVD's are long out of print. It's Blu ray only for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gaijin84 Posted October 26, 2012 Member Share Posted October 26, 2012 Is it only on Blu Ray now? Are the DVD's still OOP? OOP, but you can get them on eBay still, not too outrageous of a price. (compared to others) Ex: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Daimajin-Complete-Collection-DVD-2002-3-Disc-Set-/121003727368?pt=US_DVD_HD_DVD_Blu_ray&hash=item1c2c625a08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gaijin84 Posted November 8, 2012 Member Share Posted November 8, 2012 FYI - price has increased to ~$30 on Amazon... if you're going to get it this might be the time. (or not the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
