Earthsea Gets UK Release
While licensing problems are in the way of a North American release of Gedo Senki, UK DVD releaser Optimum will release an English subtitled, region 2 DVD for the UK market in the summer of 2007.
Can't wait for this

Awesome news but I'd have liked an English dub so my daughter can watch the film. She loves the Ghibli films.
is this based on the Earthsea novels by Ursula le Guin?
if it is, sounds interesting. I started reading Earthsea Quartet, but didn't get very far, and recently saw the live action film that was done a few years back which was horrible.

So far, all the Ghibli DVD's I own (which are the UK versions by Optimum) have an English dub, including Pom Poko. I'd be very surprised if Sedo Genki wouldn't get one. Although, most Optimum Ghibli DVD's have the English dub created by Disney (I think, I'm not sure), and seeing how there are rights issues in America, Disney may hold off on creating one.

Yes.
I'm very excited Optimum will be releasing it to DVD ^^

There isn't going to be an English dub, just like the release of Only Yesterday.

Sort-of-related question: do you have any idea what's the logic behind the numbers on the spines? Because I simply don't see it
I still have to pick up Yamadas and Nausiccäa before I get this one... All in good time.

Well I don't really think there is a purpose, though if you wanted something like Princess Mononoke and it had a big 8 on the spine you would have more of an incentive to buy at least the other seven so it didn't look odd. The order is daft too and I don't like how Hayao Miyazaki films always have From the Creators of Spirited Away on films that were made before Spirited Away.
