Today, pretty much by accident, I found out that Urusei Yatsura is being re-released as 4 Blu-Ray box sets over the next year. Set number 1, containing episodes 1-69, was released today. It is going for Y28425 at Amazon Japan. It appears that a souviner t-shirt will also be included. (The odds of that t-shirt fitting me are likely very, very small... LOL)
So, being the UY fan that I am I immediately ordered the first box set and pre-ordered the other 3 sets which will come out at the end of July and the end of November of this year, and at the end of March in 2014.
BTW – Box sets of Ranma 1/2 and Maison Ikkoku are also being released during the same period, but I'm not a fan of either of those series so I won't be ordering them.
Getting the first box set will be a big relief for me – I've got those early episodes on old Animeigo VHS tapes, and lord knows if I have a working VHS player left.
So in a week I ought to be able to see the early episodes of UY in all of their Blu-Ray glory, whatever that happens to be. <L>
