French PAPRIKA DVD's delayed by Sony?

Hi, I live in France and was waiting today to get my copy of Paprika's boxset but according to one the biggest shop in France it's supposed to be out on the 17th of october now....

Hope it won't be so long to get it.....

Damn!

I went to a "Manor" shop yesterday, and there were like five DVD of Paprika for sale (at 29,90.- Swiss francs, that's about 23 $ or 18 Euros). It was the "simple" edition, not the limited one.

You're right!
Amazon.fr just now lists the regular version as being "in stock". There goes my theory...

But thankfully it will mean that the delay for the LE is not strategic in nature, and therefore the 5th of July date could very well be the real one!

If the regular version is "out there" so to speak, can anyone check if it's got English subs or not? Amazon still won't say...

I've checked on my regular local shop at the back of the DVD and YES there is an English subtitle track.

Enjoy!

couple of points :

one of the editions is delayed until october - the super-duper one - as far as i know.

ash-bh, can you confirm english subs on both the DVD and BR as well as the region coding and zones for the discs? thanks.

Thanks guys,
Stellar information! I've updated the article.

Sweet. Dibs on the Blu Ray version...and then later the super sweet version.

At the DVDrama forum, in a message dated June 15, a reader posts an e-mail he received from GCTHV after writing them concerning conflicting release date information, which reads (in part), "In order to create new collector "objects" with the help of Satoshi Kon himself, the release of the super edition has been put off until Oct. 17." No word as yet (from readers who've actually played the discs) about subtitling or region-encoding at the site. Couldn't find any info at DVDclassik, either. I'll keep checking. Hope this helps.

i need absolute confirmation on regions and subs on DVD and BR - otherwise it's not worth getting excited... i suspect, seeing as there's a german or dutch edition late august with is uber-subbed, that you might have an oddity or the beginnings of a new practice with regards regions and english subs :

The shape of things to come? This would make it pretty much worldwide! Well, except for the region 2 mentioned...

Huh, Icelandic subtitles. How about that. That probably means that we will be getting it soon as well.

animeondvd.com forums has a post from someone with the BR in-hand and it states it's A/B/C zoned, and that not only the feature is subbed in english (mentions that there's 'various languages' on there) but that there seems to be subs on the additional features too. ordered via amazon.fr just now - 30euros / $40USD / £20 including delivery. nice.

The Paprika dvd is out now in Holland aswell, it even has an audio commentary and english subs..It came out on the 19th

Tough. I expected to have the super-duper edition on the same day as the regular, but now that there are 4 months dividing them I'll have to make a choice.
Wait or buy? Curses...
Also, can anyone tell me if there are English subs for the Audio Commentary of the French version?

They are most likely all the same disc with all the same features. I've noticed that with the Sony anime movies that they've distribute here in Europe in the past. The only difference is the language on the covers.

Hi, I live in Switzerland and I picked up the Regular 2-disk DVD of PAPRIKA. They also had the Blu-Ray DVD as well.
I checked both disks and I will confirm:

FILM: French or Japananese DD 5.1, Japanese DTS; anamorphic video;
English, French, Arab subtitles.
NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES on the audio commentary (only french subtitles)

EXTRAS: Every single extra has English subtitles, and also plentiful other subtitles in other languages. (It's wierd that there are only three language subtitles on the movie, but there are about 10 different language subtitles for the extras).

I would like to also add that this DVD is certainly PAL REGION 2. I have a multi-region DVD player so it played fine on that, but on my laptop computer, which is set for NTSC DVDs, the PAPRIKA DVD did not work. I know once in a while that some non-Region 1 NTSC DVDs or PAL dvds sometimes work on my NTSC DVD-rom, but the French PAPRIKA certainly is not All-Region.

Thanks toddly6666,
that information is much appreciated.
It means that I'll probably buy the Dutch version available now, so I can check the commentary with subs in a language I know. Then in October I'll double-dip for the French super-duper and make someone in my neighborhood happy with my regular version.

Where can you get the Dutch version?

In Fnac france the price of the deluxe edition is 49.95 Euros (67.15 US$) and the release date is october 17. I have tokyo godfathers (also from SONY) and it has the same amount of Dubs and Subs, thats cuz the European Region is so diverse in languages thats is cheaper to make a whole region 2 version for all europe than to make it for each country.

So will "Paprika" be available in ENGLISH AUDIO? When will it be available for sale in the United States (again, English Audio)? Or where are they available on DVD in English audio?

Everyone keeps mentioning about English subtitled, but why not simply watch it in a language that you can actually understand?

Note: I don't really care for subtitles at all. I like to watch and listen to my animated films. Subtitles takes too much attention from the artistry on film.
