Glad we've got some idea when we'll see it. I really only know the (mostly) fine work Viz Media has done with Vagabond and Real, but what's their reputation when it comes to video releases?

Viz is great. It's them and Funimation that are the big two guys right now I think. Viz has produced some great dubs over the years, too. Ranma 1/2, Death Note, Bleach, etc... Depending on your opinion of course... I'd say they've been consistently good. And I think there's a good chance that with them they'd bring Berserk to select theaters.Griffith said:Glad we've got some idea when we'll see it.

Viz has its own small theater in Japan Town, San Francisco. They premiered the 20th Century Boys movie there the same day as in Japan and played the Gurren Lagann movie 2 there before it was out anywhere outside of theaters in Japan. They also played Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0 before it was officially released in the US as well. So I think there's a pretty damn high chance of them playing Berserk in that theater. Probably not before the bluray comes out though. I don't think it'll come to any big theaters sadly.Walter said:That's great news, licensing is the first step. But this article doesn't say whether the movies will get a theatrical release, or if they'll be straight to video.
Over on CrunchyRoll.com, they say this is for the DVD/Blu-Ray release, which will come out in the fall.
Does anyone know if Viz-licensed movies have gotten theatrical releases in the past?

It's not due in the USA until November 27. Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Berserk-The-Golden-King-Blu-ray/dp/B008UE8ICK/ref=pd_cp_mov_0Dr.Legato said:So... Is it released yet?
