For Studio Ghibli fans! There are quite a few blu-ray + DVD double play sets going cheap at Zavvi. The blu-ray is same region as Australia, but the DVD probably requires region-free DVD player. The price in title includes the 99p shipping, but you pay 99p for multiple items.

• Ponyo blu-ray + DVD is a steal at £9.95.

• Laputa - Castle in the Sky - This actually wasn't easily available until a few months ago, even though it was released in 2011. It's around $38 from JB Hifi.

• I posted a deal for Arrietty collector's edition when it was on pre-order a while ago, but it's now cheaper at £11.45 (blu-ray + DVD + postcards)

• Howl's moving castle at £11.45

• And for Totoro fans, the blu-ray + DVD double play set will be out soon. It's currently on pre-order at £14.95

  One of the reasons I don't buy Overseas anime dvds/blurays (in particular R1) is because they generally incorporate ads/trailers at the beginning of the disc.

  Do these UK editions contain such ads? As I know the Australian Madman release don't.

  Also does anyone know if these UK editions use slim Bluray cases or are they the standard size ones?

    Hmmm haven't looked at the DVDs but the blu-rays certainly don't have ads.

    Edit: I bought Laputa and Arrietty from Zavvi. Laputa is a standard blu-ray plastic case, with both discs in the same case. Arrietty was a special edition, and had a three-fold thick cardbard cover, not the usual plastic case.

  Worth adding Howl's Moving Castle Blu-Ray + DVD to that list, for £12.44 ($19.28) delivered, also $38 at JB Hifi.

  Still patiently awaiting the Princess Mononoke Blu-Ray…

  Princess Mononoke. End of the world in cartoons.

  Forgot the title of one of the better animes I watched. Girl went to province, lived a simple life, met a boy. They became close…geesh I even forgot how it ends, but it was raining outside…then she decided to stay. The end

  Hmmmm … who'd have thought moocher was a Ghibli fan?
  Great movies, though I have mixed feelings about the Disney dubs. Are there any good alternatives?
  I tried the subtitles, but prewfer a dub with Japanese movies. And the kids can barely read.

  And don't forget "Pom Poko". Gotta love a family movie where the main characters are furry anthropomorphic animals with giant magical scrotums. They only have the DVD version, but hi-def doesn't make much difference with animations.

    I have mixed feelings about the Disney dubs.

    I'm not sure if all the UK versions are Disney dubs. I'm pretty sure Arrietty had a UK dub done that was separate from the Disney dub.

    I never watch them in English though, so I prefer Japanese + subtitles.

  Ponyo ponyo ponyo saka na no ko!

  I thought Howl's Moving Castle was a bit average but Ponyo is another gem from Ghibli.
