I'm in for one. If only they could finally do TOKYO GODFATHERS too, but probably a rights issue.

To be honest, this is the only Satoshi Kon film I struggled to connect with. Tried several times.
That is going to make a lovely steelbook of it's nice bright with spot gloss.

Mine arrived today, from Wal-mart. Haven't watched anything on the discs yet, but the steelbook is alright (and not damaged, thankfully). It's the metallic-looking type rather than an enamel coating -- not my favorite style since it doesn't show off the artwork as well, but hey, it's Paprika in 4K in a steelbook!

It's a matte finish, with metallic reflections, rather than glossy. Same as the EU version. I watched an unboxing earlier.

I agree. Not everything HAS to be glossy to be nice.

Anyone know if the blu-ray disc is region locked?

 

[kitsune]

Mine arrives on Wednesday I'll try to remember and let you know. I can say though that 4K discs are never region locked.

Not true, as mistakes happen. Check this thread

Yeah, unfortunately that's not right. It's happened a fair few times now, but it's very unlikely from Sony, and on a release such as this where they're releasing in more than one region.

The J-card explicitly specifies ABC, but I gave the Blu-ray disc a spin in a region B player. It's region-free.
