Satoshi Kon's 'Paprika' USA DVD & BR Available for Pre-Order, Released November 27th 2007.

And so the slow transition to worthwhile HD purchases continues. Seriously, not sure how relevant HD is to a lot of what I choose to watch, and the trade off between upscaling to 1080p and true 1080p, considering the cost comparisons of DVD to BR (DVD is about half the price, if not less, perhaps a third even) means that I'm finding criteria read like this : good theatrical animation, buy HD form... everything else, at the moment, DVD. 'Tekkon Kinkreet' seems to have started shipping out yesterday (please, also consider buying the all-in-one manga reissue out in America too, it's lovely, so I hear), at least my copy is on it's way from the states, and it's due out next week if you're looking to catch up with that and this upcoming other theatrical animation of note this year. Oh, there's a couple more of those around, aren't there? 'Tokikake' should be sent out from Korea in the next few days also, and there's perhaps a couple of others I can't quite remember right now, some in the near future too. Directly in relation to 'Paprika', it's been a while since the French BR appeared, and there were as many subtitle tracks on that as there surely are known languages on the planet. The film itself, well... I've got a sense of it, but I'll keep my mind fresh to the experience as possible between now and late November. For now...
