I'm probably in the minority on this, but I thought the movie was better than most of the show's episodes. The story is just a regular one-and-done deal, but the voice acting, the animation, the music, action, etc. are all really top-notch.

Can a brother get the Funimation look with the Amazon extras?

Nope, sadly.
Does that mean the discs won't look like 45s?
Sorry, 1st I've popped into this thread.
Nah, discs are the same in both editions.
Sweet. Thanks.

The Funimation version even has Watanabe's autograph... but Amazon's two art books is worth the premium for sure.

It's a hell of a lot of fun, but I wouldn't say it's similar to Bebop. There's also an OAV series that isn't included in the box set you may want to take a look at.
Yeah, that's what I figured, but I wouldn't mind discovering a new series. Haven't in a long while.
I'm a heathen who often prefers to watch dubs so that's good news.

Well, guess I'm canceling my Amazon one and getting the Funimation set. Fucking hell, that is the best packaging ever. It'll be perfect with my record collection.They look awesome!

That sucks. The Funi version looks awesome, but the Amazon one has better extras. Wish we had a good looking set with everything. ;(

Love both but I am happy with my Amazon order. Those artbooks will be worth it.
Funimation did a real good job with these. It's going to be hard to pick between them.They look awesome!

You'll probably need both.
Come oooon...I'm not telling you anything you've already considered, riiiight?
Think this looks great. The vinyl style cover in the Funi is great, but I actually like the Amazon cover with the four colored portraits.
I'm already double dipping since I already own this on DVD. Dare I triple dip?You'll probably need both.

Yup. Here's where it's cheapest: http://www.rightstuf.com/rssite/action/store/item/Item?ItemName=fun09055. No special packaging or non-disc extras, though.

Does Funimation charge you right away on pre orders or when they ship? Already pre ordered the Amazon one but i'd like both but don't have the extra $$$ right now.

I thought seeing them would help me decide.
It didn't.
It didn't.
Black Lagoon is outstanding.
Get it, you will not regret it.
And yes the dub is outstanding.

As intrigued as I am by having the series in vinyl packaging, it'd become the biggest pain in the ass were I ever to lend the series to anyone.
If anyone's going to pick up the Funimation exclusive, save 10% or more.

does amazon have some sort of exclusive packaging?
edit: nm, guess so.
bought he set from cinplex and it comes with 2 free movie tickets that could be used on any movie.
wonder if its worth getting the regular packaging just to save money at the movies.

The last picture lists the video as "SD Remaster", but the picture of the actual box says "HD Native". I'm a bit anxious about how the video quality will turn out, but I hope that it's been done justice.

Will that be available for people who buy from amazon.ca?
I just ran across this preview clip from Funimation. It looks beautiful. I can't wait for the 16th.
They were talking about this on the blu-ray.com forums. I'm not terribly tech savvy when it comes to video stuff, but people seem confident that it'll be fine. I guess there is CG stuff where it will always be SD upscaled, unless they were to go back and completely remake it from scratch. Everything else will be HD native, which is the correct descriptor to use to avoid confusion. Hence the final box just listing "HD native".
Well it's a separate edition, so if you ordered it then you'll get it. There's the regular edition (the pictures in my first post) and the exclusive, which is my second post with the art books.
But the Amazon US exclusive edition is totally sold out, so could be the same for Canada also.

ugh i wanted to pre order the funimation one but never saw the link, now its gone from the site :/
and that is going for a lot of money now, oh well

Seeing people getting sales for over $400.
The evil side of me wishes I had ordered two copies of the Amazon set :lol quite the profit from the initial $70 price.
The Funi set was first up for pre-orderr at like $75 I think? Could be wrong, though. Amazon set was $70 for a while, then went up to $90 before it sold out.
