great. I love this movie ...it's a masterpiece.

Damn right! Loved how Ready Player One payed an homage to Kaneda's bike.

Love the movie. And the look of the steel. But does it have anything new. Got original blu steel and collector's edition with stuff ...

 

[AlienKing]

Love the artwork but i dont think it can beat last year's release in terms of finish. Hmm to buy or not to buy...

I can't imagine this is exclusive only to Amazon Italy.
Not sure how I feel about Kaneda looking all 'Morpheus' on the cover....

Very familiar first class art for the steelbook but would look better without the "30th ANNIVERSARY" print, methinks.

The clean UK steelbook from a while back is v. smart though (in particular the logo free spine):-

Spot gloss finish.

Looks to have only Japanese and Italian languages for subs AND dubs.

As noted above, not one for the International crowd due to its language and subtitle extreme limitations . . . other more de luxe option for this particular steelbook is the 30th Anniversary Limited Edition (of 500 pieces) Collector's Box.

Yet another option - this time English language friendly - is the Australian box set w/ this steelbook included (but with the older disc).
According to Amazon.au, "Celebrating the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic and influential anime feature films ever made, Madman presents a deluxe limited edition box-set reissue of Akira - including a DVD + Blu-ray combo pack Steelbook, official double-vinyl gatefold soundtrack, two books covering production and art, all wrapped up in premium packaging."

(Looks like same booklet as in previous steelbook - in Italian this time I guess)
