Odd choice of category, but I'll take it :)
Now its the #1 best seller in foreign films.

Does Funimation usually do releases on iTunes? I'm hoping to just buy it there rather than the physical copy.

Whatever the category, I'm always happy to hear about any success or victories for Godzilla.

I'm just hoping that the dub will be good. This could lead to FUNimation having the best Godzilla dubs since AIP/Titra/Titan.

Shin Godzilla currently pre-selling for $24.95 US at Amazon, the BR/DVD/Digital Download version. Yah, I think it will be $20 on Wal-Mart's shelves, come August 1st...

With just 5 days to release, why is everything so quiet on here?

Well, I have some news regarding the upcoming American release. There are currently two versions of the movie on the PlayStation Network store up for sale: The American Dub and Original Japanese version. Y'all probably don't care about it because you're patiently waiting for the blu Ray. But what you will care about is the preview thy have which includes a sample of the new dub.

When the disc is out, there'll be more activity.

The dub. Did anyone order from a distributor that already shipped? (I guess not because no one is talking about it). When it arrives, are you going to eat it with green eggs and ham here, there, or anywhere?

Idk. I think this is definitely the best Godzilla movie since the early Heisei flicks, possibly even the best since the original. There should be more excitement going on here! Let's party! I'll bring the Baragon costume. Who will bring the bikini clad Japanese girls?

Edit: Just received an email from Funimation that my order has shipped this morning! (I opted for the speedy delivery) However, When trying to track the package from osm, it says that the tracking number may be incorrect or that status update isn't available yet. That means that I can't get an estimated time and date of delivery, but I am crossing my fingers and hoping it gets here tomorrow.

My order shipped about 2 days ago! So for anyone else who pre-ordered, be sure to check your email for any notification :) Can't wait to watch the dubbed take.

Honestly, I agree with the decision. Shin Godzilla felt more PG-13 then anything besides the blood scenes, though in the dub they added swear words here and there.

I managed to pick it up tonight after work for $19.96, I'm actually surprised we're carring it Wal-mart normally doesn't carry Godzilla movies other than G14 and GINO.

Just got done watching it and the dub is pretty great. The PQ is amazing too.

Mine carried the Sony and Kraken 2014 Blu-rays of the Showa, Heisei, and Millennium movies. I was (pleasantly) stunned.

...and you were right. I wish I'd have waited. Paid Amazon the $24.95 and got a roughed-up picture sleeve.

Here it is on Walmart's endcap—not exactly front and center, but a great price ($19.96 for the combo), and I was very happy to see it:

Looks like I'll be taking a trip to Wally World this weekend. Thanks for the info Herry! Saved me a few bucks (and a potential defect).

Pardon me for goin a tad off-topic, but I would like to announce that Funimation has been bought by Sony.

https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/01/son ... ion-anime/

Any guesses as to what differences that would make?

Took a trip to my local Best Buy at lunch, as their inventory systems showed the store having copies in-hand. Got there and found nothing, meaning they didn't bother put this week's current releases out on the shelves yet.

Best price goes to Walmart hopefully that price will stay there over the weekend since I get paid this week. I'm planning on getting Shin, Skyward Sword and 64 micro SD card for my Switch. So 3 things I must have Shin!
