Archives of Studio Ghibli at E-bayPost Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Search for Posts by stinkstick Report Post to a Moderator        IP Address Go to the top of this page

I bid on the boxed set Archive of Studio Ghibli at e-bay last week. The bidding started at $42. The set includes 12 movies - Nausicaa, My Neighbor Totoro, Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery...I can't even tell you all the names because I can't read Japanese (but the films are all subtitles in English if that matters to you). The set also came with the special edition Spirited Away DVD. The entire package comes to 19 hours of Miyazaki. I'm not a salesperson for e-bay, but I just noticed that several postings here lamented the high prices of anime movies in some areas. When I placed my bid, there were four or five sets available, all starting at very low prices.

Heck, there's a whole STACK of them at the video store near my place. Abt $40 per set, too. That's where I got mine, BTW. Sorry to gloat

But it's not 12 movies. It's 11 movies and 1 music vid.

that's what they want you think, the packaging are done in hong kong.. and you how professional those underground networks are with packaging.

both nausicaa and butaconnections have articles about how it's bootlegs and how quality isnt all that great compared to authentic single ghibli dvds

Well, u've certainly been ripped off. Sorry for the bad news tho, but u can get it for a lot cheaper (i think).

But yeah, like u said, better than nothing.

Oh, and juz so u know, there's only one official boxset available as far as i know. Ironically, thats also made in HK

There is NO such thing as a boxset AT ALL. Ghibli sells all their movies individually.

Studio Ghibli Museum? Interesting, a new bootleg. Mind pointing a picture to see?

"official" English, anyone??Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Search for Posts by alibaba40she Report Post to a Moderator        IP Address Go to the top of this page

Hi Everyone! Okay, I've been on ebay (well, actually, am on there a lot) and am thoroughly confused about the Studio Ghibli stuff. Just what's the "officially" done English versions? I am assuming Disney's Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Castle in the Sky. What about Family Feature's My Neighbor Totoro? I also see Grave of the Fireflies in English.

Then, there are the boxed sets--one with 11 movies with English subtitles, and the one with 7 movies dubbed in English. Who dubbed them, is it done well?

Any straightening out would be appreciated. Reading through the posts here didn't really give me definitive answers, as there seems to be varying opinions on some of this.

:~)

Totoro is also done by Disney. GOTF is done by another company, and was released yrs ago.

The boxsets r ripped from the original DVDs. Theres a reason why theyre also called pirated versions. So no one dubbed them, its the exact same version as Disney's releases.

Also, i can only confirm one real boxset, and thats a LD boxset, no other formats to my knowledge exist that was published in Japan or YS. HK might, but suspicious versions.

I think Totoro was released by Fox because that's what amazon says. Or is there going to be a new version re-released by Disney?

Thanks for the info. guys. Guess I'll stay away from the boxed set because I'm not into stealing. :~) Happy and peaceful new year to you all.
