Japanese DVD Box-Sets

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Amazon.co.jp has recently been updated with some information about some Japanese DVD Box-Sets for both seasons of Code Geass, which can be seen here:
- First Season.
- R2.


Both box-sets will contain all 25 episodes each on 6 disks, with the first set also having the two filler "recap" episodes. They both retail for 19,950 yen, 14,673 yen after the Amazon discount.

Looking at the Amazon pages, the special features on these box-sets are going to be very limited, however they will each include a 32 page booklet, new box art by Takahiro Kimura, and 2 different (and I believe new) special promotional videos for the Boukoku no Akito gaiden. That's one different video on each season's box-set.

The box art for R2 isn't on display yet, but you can see the first season's art already.

The first season's box-set is due out on the 27th January, 2012. R2 is due on the 24th February.

ETA: The Offical Code Geass website now has information up about the website, as well as that box-set illustration all in one flat piece of art.

lol @ Rivalz on the second picture -_-

I may have to take back my comments about the lack of perviness in this art. Rivalz, looking up Milly's skirt is not going to endear you to her.

._. Why does it have to be so expensive, and why do I already see myself setting aside money for it?

Whoops, they are! I must fix that.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Forget Rivalz looking up Milly's skirt; I'm too busy d'awwwing at Suzaku and Euphie there. Wibble.

It's been so long since there was SuzaEuphie art. I'd forgotten how adorable they were.

It seems many of the Japanese fans were expecting a BD BOX release too, but I'd imagine that one would cost a lot more than these two sets.

Or maybe they will announce something in that format later? I don't know.

In any case, it's good to see that Sunrise is at least indirectly giving us a rough indication of when we can hope to see the new project.

If we will be getting a couple of extra PVs in Jan/Feb (and maybe the magazines will start publishing something actually useful too?), then I would expect to finally see Code Geass Gaiden by either Summer or Fall 2012.

It's still going to be a long wait, I guess, but better than nothing.

When the Gaiden is coming out seems to be what the Code Geass thread at 2ch is currently debating. Well that, and what will be on the R2 box art, and why there is no BD box.

Official website has been tinkering with its URLs. I poked around and found the new page address for it here (http://www.geass.jp/r2/dvd_collection_box.html). (you can click to it from the main R2 DVD page here (http://www.geass.jp/r2/dvd.html).)
