Damn that's rad. Any word on what the four discs include?
Wasn't a formal announcement, it was leaked because a Japanese retailer put the listing up early. Guess it's getting announced soon though!
The Art of Shin Godzilla book I ordered since October has been delayed AGAIN. They can't even make mid-December now, and the release date they are claiming now is December 30. I'm so not expecting it to come out this year at all. Lol.
560 pages, hardcover, slipcase, and comes with the shooting script in a separate book. Mmmm....

Sweet Jesus. I just pray that Funimation will do the North America blu-ray release in a reasonable time frame and price. Is Spring/Summer 2017 too optimistic?

I'm probably going to ebay this once it is released. It's a lot of money but I dont think I can resist if it's what I want it to be.
Depends on how many of those 560 pages are pictures and how much are text, though. I dont read japanese.

How much does that cost?

Funimation is not Aniplex, who prices their goods about the same price as Japan, but rather, I do expect the BD to cost at least $30 USD when it comes out.
The book looks to be about $88 USD or so. Shipping is probably going to be a variable depending on how fast you want it.
Or you could wait for mine to ship, look at some photos I post, and decide if you want to get it from Amazon Japan. Lol.
The book can be ordered at Amazon Japan: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/490503308X/
The listed price is the one with tax included, but if you order from outside Japan it looks like they only charge you 9800yen.

Universal Studios released a trailer for their new Shin Godzilla ride. I'm so sad I'll never get to experience it.

I've been meaning to post an update after getting my Art of Shin Godzilla book last week, but I've been busy/lazy/phone camera sucks.
I really fucking love the book. It's by far the best production book I've bought. It's not just super huge (3kg! 560 pages! Hardcover! Quality paper! Full color!) but it's also super comprehensive.
Gigazine has a good unboxing article on it for those interested in how impressive the package actually is: http://gigazine.net/news/20161229-the-art-of-shin-godzilla-review/
Their photos are way better than the ones I took anyway.
I'll go into a bit more detail on what the book actually contains and why any Shin Godzilla fan who is interested in the production process and materials should seriously consider dropping a hundred bucks on this baby.
First off, this isn't just an art book. It covers -everything- about the production process from pre-production, production, to post-production. And not just pre-production stuff like concept art either - it goes into the extreme effort to reproduce old drafts, memos, and the original pitch by Anno, including his hand written notes and Word documents from early in the planning process. The concept art by Mahiro Maeda contains a ton of work (40+ pages worth!) he did on not just conceptualizing every form used in the film, but also rejected ideas Anno had, early sketch work, as well as detailed image boards and proto-storyboards of the major Godzilla action scenes in the film. There is also a large section of photos showing the creation of all the reference sculpture models used for 3D scanning, and the creation process by the sculptor.
Equally impressive is how much of the production process is captured in the book. From location scouting, shooting, set design, practical effects work, miniatures, and a rare look at the attempts of shooting an animatronic Shin Godzilla on set. They have a dozen or so photos of the crew doing the shoot in August, but it is noted that unfortunately they didn't want to proceed with that footage in the final film. So the rumors about it not working to their satisfaction were true after all.
The book also contains a bunch of top down layouts for all the sets, and reproductions of almost all the printed props which were featured in the film. So if you ever wondered what a dossier actually said, or if all the English notes they had on Godzilla were actual text instead of gibberish, you get to read them in full clarity now! The book also has good interviews with all key players in the staff at every stage of production. Each section ends with an interview with the person or people in charge of or overseeing the work they highlight in all the artwork or photos for that section. Really concise editing.
Within the slipcase containing the main book, there's also a shooting script reproduction with the complete script. Nice collectible.
So yeah, I'm suuuuuuuuuppppppppppppperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr happy with it. <3

This was fantastic. I usually cringe at the usual Japanese movie tropes but I was so engrossed with the film that it didn't really bother me. Didn't know it was made by the Evangelion guy either. Godzilla was really terrifying in this and loved the design of him crawling around. That legitimately gave me nightmares.
My one criticism is the bad English of the supposed American liaison. That was just laughable.
Btw, question about the ending:

They mentioned that Godzilla is just sleeping/frozen. Does this mean that Godzilla is not dead yet?

He's stopped right when he was transitioning to his 5th form too.

Big spoiler!!
And the shot of the tail means it is already evolving to counter human cooperation. It is only a matter of time before it can counter the coagulant too.

This is getting a sequel. Also Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 was mentioned, but that doesn't actually exist.
Woah, where was that mentioned?
You can't just drop this and then leave without a link, man!
Anno had some announcement at the end of the Shin Godzilla vs Evangelion concert thing they had today. It was basically "Pls look forward to the next Godzilla film and Eva 4.0, yo peace out bros." There's no indication that he's actually directing anything even at this point, he could be handing it off to Higuchi. I mean, we didn't think there WOULDN'T be a sequel after it made like 80 million dollars at the box office right?

Anno didn't say if he was directing it.

Looks like they redid some shots for the blu-ray release
That's interesting. I wonder if there's any other BD edits or improvements.

How do people have shots of the theatrical to compare in the first place? Camrip or something?

I think the movie leaked a while ago.

The BD package comes with an insert that details every change made to version "2.0" of the film. That shot comparison is also from the insert. There isn't really anything major, just minor VFX changes, adjustments to on-screens and audio balance, etc.

Oh, interesting. I guess it isn't all that important but I'd enjoy seeing it translated out of curiosity.
I wonder if my least favorite shot got redone. Right before the big G takes his nap, he takes a couple awkward steps forward in which the CGI is suddenly 10 years younger for a brief moment. That'd be nice.
Yes, I really hope they fixed this!
EDIT: Good thing my Japanese DVD of the film just arrived at the inward exchange.
