After delaying their release of The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki last year, Australian anime publisher Madman Entertainment are finally set to launch the set of anime films on April 15th 2015. Via their social media channels, the company have today shared their first sneak peek at the contents of the set, which includes a separate case for each film and a number of other goodies.
Priced at $274.95 AUD for the DVD set and $324.95 AUD for the Blu-ray set, this is not a cheap set to simply go out to the store and buy. That being said, those who do purchase it will also receive a limited edition box to store everything in, a bonus disc full of extra features and a couple of other goodies as specified in this image but not described in detail by Madman just yet.
The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki contains the following films: Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Ponyo and The Wind Rises. Be mindful that this isn’t ‘The Collected Works of Studio Ghibli’, and therefore doesn’t contain projects worked on by other Studio Ghibli members such as Arietty and Whisper of the Heart. It is unknown if Madman will ever release a comparable set.
With all that being said, orders for this set can be placed HERE and HERE.
