It's a bit pricey, but I wanna get a first run copy. Cannot wait for this one, as I know you're aware, you'll be sick all over again of me going on about it. ;) I’ve pre-ordered mine from http://www.axelmi=usic.com.

I guess it'll be much cheaper than buying it in Japan, ironically. As far as I know - and apart from the poster you mention - there's no difference in extras content on the disc between the Japanese and western releases - mainly as they were so restricted by space. With that in mind, I'm surprised they haven't done a two disc version with more extras... Are you going to get it from Amazon US? I guess it’ll be much cheaper than buying it in Japan, ironically.

Guess I'll just have to wait out for another week to verify this.

Sign me up for first copy. This is awesome. A very good story complimented by very good vision. If people get confused on the story; you could always give them this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_(manga) The most accurate description of the film I have ever seen. Saved me much time in explaining this to others. Enjoy What a great film, and from the sounds of it; it’s getting better.
