I got super-excited, and super-proud of Japan when i heard the news that the Blu-ray disc version of “Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The MOVIE 1st” topped Japan’s weekly Blu-ray disc charts, selling 58000 copies over the November 22-28 week. Furthermore, “The DVD version ranked #2 on its respective chart with 22,758 copies. The film had taken in 380 million yen (about US$4.4 million) at the box office this year.”
It’s getting increasingly difficult for me to restrain myself from watching it!!! (I’m hosting a kind of Anime Marathon early in January where we’ll watch the Nanoha and Haruhi movies without having seen either before) I am very tempted to buy the blu-ray first release limited edition version right now. It even has English subtitles and so that makes it a much more reasonable purchase compared to other DVDs from Japan. But… it’s… expensive and I don’t actually have a blu-ray player… O_o…
I can’t wait till I get my “Phantom Minds” figurine of Fate! And even though I still haven’t seen the first movie, I can’t wait till the 2nd Movie “Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha the Movie 2nd A’s” gets released in 2012!
