Mar 2012 Blu-ray Japan Imports

 

03-30-12 Macross Zero_Sakura m1_Zone

Besides some R1 DVD purchases, in March I also imported some Blu-rays from Japan.
They are:
1. Macross Zero Blu-ray Disc BOX
2. Card Captor Sakura Movie 1
3. Zone 10 years later Live

I’ve always wanted the Macross Zero, and finally got it. The exchange rate made it not so attractive compared to several years ago when it’s first released though. For Card Captor Sakura, I had no idea Bandai was bundling with a cellphone strap for the initial release. Had I known that, I would have picked up both movies instantly. Too bad the second movie with the cellphone strap bundle has sold out already, I’m unlikely to complete this collection. BTW, it’s the first Blu-ray in my collection with a pink case!

And lastly for Zone, yeah my first Blu-ray concert purchase. Zone always holds a special place in my heart, so I know I have to get this one. Although the release was only 1080i video with LPCM 2.0 audio and pretty heavily compressed with Japanese standards (4.5hr with 20Mbps avg bitrate).
