Subject to change most likely, but I've been checking Amazon JP every other day for these and they're finally up. 8 volumes are listed but if it's 26 episodes they'll either have to include 4 episodes on two of them or add a Volume 9 with the 2 remaining. I'm hoping for the former, obviously.

Volume 1 - 25th July
Volume 2 - 22nd August
Volume 3 - 26th September
Volume 4 - 24th October
Volume 5 - 21st November
Volume 6 - 26th December
Volume 7 - 23rd January
Volume 8 - 27th February

And in case it needs repeating, yeah, we'll be adapting the subs for them when they're out :D

Good lord that's a long time D:

MUST GET!!!

Ofcourse it's a long time, the series are still need to air ... Any case, never bought a volume of Nanoha. Always bought the boxsets ... Do you have news about boxset release dates?

Oh well, so long as they fix up the sloppier bits of animation like with A's I'll be perfectly happy to wait.

And boxsets? I doubt it. Japan doesn't seem very fond of them, the only Nanoha boxset going around is of A's and even then that's not a single release - when you collected all the limited edition volumes you could send off for a box, and people are selling that on Yahoo Japan Auctions and such.

Nanoha boxset exists too. I buy stuff over here... http://www.discountanimedvd.com/product_list_category.asp?cate=2265 .

"that's not a single release - when you collected all the limited edition volumes you could send off for a box"
What? I'm sorry, I read it three times over, but I can't figure out what you mean. I'm not that pretty with English I guess.

Those look like bootlegs to me. If it doesn't say the region code or its region free, they are bootleg.

Fake DVDs using Triad's subtitles.

And basically, the only way to get a 'boxset' for A's was to collect all of the single volumes. Every volume had a token in it, and when you posted these to the DVD company they sent you a box to store them in.

Image related :)

Thanks for your explanation. Mmm, the boxset I got is totally different. It exists within one dvd double box (regualar DVD case with 2 DVD disc's). Neat image btw.

KK, two updates.

1 - It'll be 9 volumes, so the last will be a 2 episode release.
2 - They'll RRP at 6500 yen each according to Amazon JP's price for the first volume. So that's about $55, £27, €40...

It is times like this how much cheaper anime is state side, i mean with ADV animes one only need wait a year or so and you'll have a 50ish$ thin pack for many shows.

Though I have to say that is not indicative of a quality edition...

Vol 2 out next week

next week: episode 5 even better then before!!!

any idea in jap 6500 yen = how much singapore dollar?? i think i might get my friend to help me get the box set dvd when he gg to jap this yr.. n also, wad is the code for the dvd??? code 3? 1? wondering if my com can play it ~.~

6500 yen is about 83.35 Singapore dollars, and the DVD is Region 2.

region 2, can our player here in singapore play it?? or mayb our computers here???

if you configure yor pc.. it can play reginon 2 normally
but you can change the regioncode only 5 times or so.. then its fixed by hte hardware..

You can always RIP it and play the file directly in your computer.
That way the region code does not mater !
You can even make a copies without the region code and play it anywhere.
it also keep your original safe from scratch and various hazard.

And uh, it depends. Most DVD players to my knowledge are either region free, or can be configured to be region free with a bunch of button presses.

As for PC drives, I've never actually managed to get any of the programs that claim to make your drive region free to work. It seems not every type is compatible with them... some probably are though.

Or as Quarn said there's the make a copy, but in this case you have to bear in mind they're dual layer DVDs. It is possible to crush them onto a single layer DVD (hunt out a program called dvdshrink - I tried it with the first DVD and there was pretty much no quality loss) but it's something to bear in mind regardless.

what do mean

The usual player programs (VLC, mplayer...) include the deCSS code for bypassing region coding on PC, without touching the drive limited-change firmware.

Thisis useful for someone in the English speaking part of region 2.

yeah i forgot to mention this...

Vol3 coming soon

DVD3 is out yet?

It's out.
