Reposted from The Good, the Bad, and Godzilla 続・夕陽の呉爾羅 | Go to Original Post

『宇宙戦艦ヤマト2199』Vol. 2 DVD/BD 7月27日発売！

Exciting disc jacket art for Volume 2 by Nobuteru Yuuki!

With the first installment of the SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO: 2199 saga, “The Long Voyage”, opening in ten select theaters in Japan this weekend, Bandai Visual has announced the second volume of the home video release — a month and a half before the first volume even hits domestic retail shelves on May 25th! Volume 2 will contain a total of four half-hour episodes, plus special features, clocking in at 130 minutes of content for Â¥8,190 (Blu-ray Disc) and Â¥7,190 (R2 DVD). The DVD will be presented in 16:9 Anamorphic, Dual Layer, and Dolby Digital Stereo. Conversely, the BD will be presented in AVCHD, BD50G, 1080p, 16:9 Anamorphic, and Linear PCM Stereo!

Special Features are to include an Audio Commentary (details to be released), a look at the Launch Event Screenings in Nagoya and Osaka, as well as a report on the Launch Event in Tokyo, and a special insert booklet. Both the DVD and BD releases will feature beautiful jacket art by character designer Nobuteru Yuuki and a slipcase sleeve by the legendary Naoyuki Kato. Now, while the DVD version will basically contain all of the special features of the BD, there’s one very important exception: English Subtitles. Since the US and Japan are in the same Region Encoding for BD, this is yet another major incentive to snag the BDs from Bandai Visual. The theatrical version of Episodes 3-6, “Desperate Battle in the Heliosphere”, opens in Japan on June 30th.

The episodes on Volume 2 will include:

03. ESCAPE FROM JUPITER (木星圏脱出): After completing the Warp Test from Mars to Jupiter, the Yamato suffers an engine malfunction and is forced to make an emergency landing on a continent floating in the atmosphere of the giant planet. While repairs are being made, the Gamilas attack the crippled ship, and Captain Okita decides to use their new weapon, the Wave Motion Gun!

04. THE TOMB OF ICE (氷原の墓標): The United Nations Cosmo Force picks up a distress signal and orders the Yamato to conduct a search and rescue mission to Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons. But, the Gamilas are laying in wait. During the battle on the surface of Enceladus, Kodai discovers a shipwreck frozen in the ice — and is shocked to discover the truth of its origin.

05. THE INESCAPABLE TRAP (死角なき罠): Okita is determined to destroy Gamilas’ outpost on Pluto, the launching point of the Planet Bombs dropped on Earth. The Yamato plans a strategic airstrike, but they are countered by Gamilas’ long-range Reflection Satellite Gun. Losing control, the Yamato plunges into the frozen sea on Pluto…

06. HADES’ TWILIGHT (冥王の落日): While the Yamato sinks to the bottom of Pluto’s sea, the Air Wing begins a search and destroy mission for the Gamilas outpost. Then, Kodai spots Gamilas planes emerging from a Plutonian Aurora. Now, able to bypass the attack of the Reflection Satellite, the Yamato launches her counterstrike.

As you can see by these synopses, the staff of YAMATO: 2199 are sticking very close to the original 1974 series, which may alleviate the worries and concerns of some Old Skool fans. Now, to pre-order your copy of SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO: 2199 Volume 2, click here to visit Amazon Japan (with English language support)!

Stay tuned to this blog and the official Star Blazers website for more news and information on SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO: 2199 as they develop — and soon, we’ll be off to outer space, on shiny discs of blue!

Bela Lugosi´s 129th

Reposted from DRACULAND: The Dracula´s Blog | Go to Original Post

● Artwork by Gor Mandra for Bela’s 129th.

Bela Lugosi was born 129 years ago today. Lugosi,

born October 20, 1882 as Béla Ferenc Dezcö Blasko

in Lugos (at the time part of Austria-Hungary, now

Lugoj in Romania).

He was, he is and will be, the best Dracula that

ever been done. Bela Lugosi’s Dracula and can’t die.

“Death could kill the Man, but it couldn´t kill the Legend…”

“But first, sent to earth as a vampire.

Your

corpse

will escape from the grave

as a ghost

prowl his

hometown, sucking

the blood of all

yours…”

●

The Giaour, Lord Byron (1788-1824)

Lugosi Wines

Reposted from DRACULAND: The Dracula´s Blog | Go to Original Post

Bela Lugosi created his unique characterization of Count Dracula

on the Broadway stage in 1927 and brought it to the screen in 1931.

One of the first members of the Screen Actors Guild, he was a true

American film pioneer. Although Count Dracula never “drank” wine,

Bela Lugosi, the man, had impeccable taste in wines.

With the creation of the Bela Lugosi brand wines, the Lugosi

family pays tribute to their patriarch, a man of distinction, while

acknowledging the icon that will forever be – Dracula. 


Continuing the family’s enthusiasm for wine inspired by Bela Lugosi,

Lugosi Wines will seek varietals sourced from superior wine-growing

regions. Winemakers will create exceptional wines from distinct

appellations to assemble a portfolio of the Bela Lugosi brand wines

that will celebrate the best varietals from around the

world.

With each new release added to Lugosi Wines’ offerings, the Bela

Lugosi collection will exemplify the distinct qualities of Bela Lugosi,

the man, in a unique compilation of outstanding wines. Lugosi Wines

is proud to announce the release of the first vintage of the signature

series wines.

The Domingo Hermanos Winery in Argentina produced this vintage

exclusively for Lugosi Wines. The vineyards are located in Salta,

Argentina, and at 7200 feet altitude, are one of the highest in the world.

●The label artwork is by Argentinean citizen, Bruno Fernandez.

●Only 1200 hand numbered bottles were produced.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

Different terroirs with the right blend, makes wonders. The special

microclimate of these areas allows for optimal grape ripeness,

providing them with the ability to develop and express their unique

identity. Careful elaboration and proper aging for 8 months in French

oak add great complexity and balance.

Great concentration with intense dark purple-red color has a fresh,

ripe red-fruit aroma with notes of vanilla, chocolate, mocha and

spices. Long velvety finish.

●RECOMMENDATIONS

Enjoy this wine with grilled meats, well-seasoned pasta dishes,

or cheese. Best when served between 63º- 66º F. Please decant

1hr before consumption.
