Excited for this and The Cat Returns!

Brilliant news
Finally, another one #9 in a steelbook - of the 23 titles released here in the UK in Amaray cases - and the first non-Hayao Miyazaki.
Wish they'd speed up this lovely circle artwork collection a bit though . . .

Hopefully #10 back to papa with my SG favourite - WHISPER OF THE HEART

The 8 released so far in the UK:-

Was kind of hoping these steelbooks would have gotten another line with better, more colourful artwork

Here's hoping they finish the Miyazaki series too though, I want Porco Rosso & The Wind Rises! Got them all so far, will get this one just because it's party of Ghibli's work.

I agree, and not just due to the artwork but also the fact that I was late to the party so missed the likes of Mononoke, Howl's and Totoro which are horrific prices on the secondary market.

I think this is a pretty fine - and indeed very pretty - line . . . and just as good as or better than lines released elsewhere (including Italy and Germany) . . . and rather they release the whole collection with circle artwork before starting a new line.

Going to cut back on steelbooks overall. However, this is an instant pre-order, I've got the full set to date, not risking any gaps and supporting the continuation of these releases as far as possible.Game on.

I missed out on some of the earlier releases f these. I would love to see a box set with all of them included. t would have to be a pretty big box.

I haven't checked out this particular film release- but Studio Ghibli releases are really hit or miss for me.
And the most positive review of "Tales from Earthsea" that I've come across is "Yeah- I guess it's not a total waste of time". xD

So... is this one worth checking out?
