While Chris Nahon’s live-action adaptation of Production I.G’s 2000 Anime Blood: The Last Vampire arrived in theaters in many countries just a few days ago (or even hasn’t like in the USA), Kadokawa already announced a home video release for the Japanese market.
Jeon Ji-Hyun’s adventures as the katana-wielding vampire huntress Saya will be released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on October 9th. According to CDJapan both releases will include English subtitles, even though the original language is English anyway. What about adding English subtitles to releases of films in other languages, huh Kadokawa?
With the current price of 49US$, the Blu-ray Disc can almost be called ‘cheap’…at least for Japanese standards, especially since CDJapan is currently giving away free 500 Yen coupons. Sadly you can’t always trust the region code information coming from CDJapan, but so far no Kadokawa Blu-ray Disc has been reported as region locked.
