Anime Limited reveal Miss Hokusai Ultimate Edition

There's been a longer than expected wait for distributor Anime Limited's Collector's Edition of Keiichi Hara's film Miss Hokusai - so long in fact, that it isn't getting a Collector's Edition any more.

Fear not however, as the film's premium version has now been upgraded to a full-blown Ultimate Edition, which is set to arrive in the UK on Monday, 14th November.

The contents of this new Ultimate Edition will be as follows:

• Comes packed in a wooden box with a slipcover (aka o-card) around it.
• Inside the box you will find a digipack to hold the three discs (DVD Movie Disc, Blu-ray Movie Disc and a bonus DVD disc of extras.)
• On the discs themselves you will find:
  • DVD and Blu-ray Movie discs: the film ‘Miss Hokusai’ in Japanese with English subtitles. (It’s literally just the movie on these discs)
  • Bonus DVD has
    • Making of Miss Hokusai featurette that’s just nearly two hours in length! 
    • An exclusive interview with Director, Keiichi Hara
    • The trailer for the film.
• 5 Art cards
• An 80 page art book that delves into the history surrounding Miss Hokusai and world of the Edo period of Japan. This has been curated in coordination with Production I.G, who put a lot of time and effort into having as much historical fact and points of interest as possible. It makes for very interesting reading and provides lots of useful context about this time in Japanese history depicted in the film that chances are most people may not be familiar with.

You can see an image showing off the contents of this edition at the top of this post - the release is available for pre-order now from all of the usual retailers, along with DVD and Blu-ray Standard Editions if you prefer.

In other Anime Limited news, a delay to authoring means that Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam - Part 1 has now been pushed back further, with a new release date currently slated for Monday, 28th November.
