The anime of the century – Your Name Blu-Ray LE

<div> <p>It’s been ages since I last bought a Dvd from Japan. Still remember vividly how amazed I was by the superb packaging by amazon.co.jp when I bought the limited editions of Panic Room and Léon which I still own today. Both with gorgeous packaging design, glossy slipcovers and a metal case that’s housing two separate Dvd cases. Yesterday I finally received the Limited Edition Blu-Ray of the anime hit 君の名は (Your name) by Makoto Shinkai. And what a gorgeous set it is. You may still remember that I rarely watch anime but from time to time I do enjoy a well made animated film and I really loved Garden of words by the same director. So instead of waiting for the UK release (which was postponed a couple of times and will probably be set to sometime in 2018) I just took the leap and treated myself to a nice Japanese limited edition again.</p> <p>Thanks to you guys I was able to use some <a href="https://www.japanesetease.net/ultimate-guide-buying-japan/">fromjapan points</a> for this purchase and was once again very happy with their service and packaging. Seriously, it may sound like advertising but I’m using them 4-5 times a year since 2013 and was always a pretty happy camper. Will probably get around to watching the film this evening and will update this post with my impressions.</p> <p>Btw. the Japanese Blu-Ray is region-free and contains English subtitles. So if you’re interested in owning the film and don’t want to wait another couple of months for a Western release this might be an alternative for you. And: Buying a Japanese film release is always a treat.</p> <p>Note, a day later: Watched the film yesterday with my PS4 and was blown away by the outstanding animation. I still remember how impressed I was when I first watched Garden of words by the same director on Blu and君の名は (Your name) was definitely on the same level. I’m not a fan of epic stories that said (and not to leave any spoilers) I preferred the first 30 or so minutes of the film when it was much more a slice-of-life comedy than anything else. Still was a watch for me and one of their all-time favorites for others.</p> <p><strong>What did you guys think about 君の名は (Your name)? Did you watch it yet? </strong>Looking forward to your comments and thoughts.</p> <ul> <li>Buy <strong>Your Name (3disc Blu-Ray LE)</strong> from <a
