Yes. Since I didn’t realize that by the time I paid for and got the Japanese Blu-ray, I found, indeed is in Japanese with no English subtitles it would’ve been nice if the seller had warned me in his ad on the forum. But on the other hand, I started the thread about it at this forum and never thought of checking whether it had English or English subtitles. So my bad!Thant was the point of my post to Steve.
Thank you yes sir & reading @Steve Bruzonsky post about free shipping I went back to my Amazon pre-order cart for Blue Giant. I canceled it, re-ordered along with Makoto Shinkai'sThe Shout Factory US BD~V which will be available on April 30th does contain English subtitles, thankfully!

And I further spared you, SW, from taking a Berlitz course in Japanese as the Japanese version has NO English subtitles!Thank you yes sir & reading @Steve Bruzonsky post about free shipping I went back to my Amazon pre-order cart for Blue Giant. I canceled it, re-ordered along with Makoto Shinkai's
Suzume film. Shinkai makes adult thought provoking anime that still moves at a great clip & never fails to entertain. Free shipping over $35 on Amazon. So thank you good friends (who I shall call enablers) to save about $8 on shipping I spent another $30 on media.
Well worth it.
And I further spared you, SW, from taking a Berlitz course in Japanese as the Japanese version has NO English subtitles!
And for saké's sake, SW, wouldn't it be erstwhile for Hiromi's label Telarc/UMG to put out a BD~A Atmos version of her soundtrack for THE BLUE GIANT?Loving me some CD Japan or Yes Asia but never thought of ordering these from those sources. However in the early days of Blu-ray and anime I ordered several with various English sub/dubs but with all Japanese (very) complicated menus. Whew! Pour me another sake!
Amen Brother 4 ear. Amen.And for saké's sake, SW, wouldn't it be erstwhile for Hiromi's label Telarc/UMG to put out a BD~A Atmos version of her soundtrack for THE BLUE GIANT?
I'll drink to THAT!
My older daughter bought me a Berlitz Japanese course on, like, 10 CD's 20 years ago. Never opened it. Now my elderly female 1st gen German neighbor PHD has offered to teach me Japanese...., she speaks 9 languages. I was always concerned if I went to Japan I would have a German accent while speaking Japanese. My mind boggles so I declined.And I further spared you, SW, from taking a Berlitz course in Japanese as the Japanese version has NO English subtitles!
Furthermore, I could not imagine you speaking Japanese anyway...especially with that Midwestern drawl!
Or, you can rip your copy to a MKV and then download free subtitles. I did a quick search and found some. It worked great using VLC to play the movie.Be aware the Japanese Blue Giant Special Edition release, 2xBR+CD (cat# TBR33257D), is entirely in Japanese.
