There is an alternative of course, although you didn’t hear it from me.
I get the feeling that Manga are deliberately engineering a failure for this fifth movie on Blu-ray so that when it comes time for the sixth, they can turn around and say it’s DVD only, because movie 5 didn’t sell enough on Blu.
There is a risk of ever depleting returns the further you go in to a long running series, movie 5 will earn less than movie 3 and so on. I have this conspiracy theory, that the Naruto Shippuden movie Blu-rays are a pain for Manga. And when the next movie comes out, prepare to do it all again, for the inevitable six movie collection exclusive Blu-ray. Everyone else, please assume the position, and prepare to give thanks for what you are about to receive. If you can manage to find a mug to buy the first four Blu-rays, and let’s face it, by this point even Computer Exchange will be giving only peanuts for them, and you can re-buy this collection, then it’s for you. If you’ve been collecting on DVD all this time, and have now decided to upgrade the lot to Blu-ray, then this set is for you. If you decide at this point, 400 episodes and 8 movies in to try Naruto by starting in the middle, with a pack of spin-off movies, then this set is for you. It’s only available as part of a five movie collection. But this is the 21st Century, I hear you exclaim, movies should be in HD! There is a Blu-ray release of the fifth Naruto Shippuden movie, but you’re going to have to buy the first four Blu-ray movies again with it. If you’ve been collecting the movies and the series, and let’s face it, at this point, the fifth movie spin-off from a TV series way past 400 episodes in length is only going to appeal to committed collectors, then to add this film to your collection, the easiest way to do so in the UK is to get the DVD. Manga Entertainment are out of their gourd with the release strategy for Naruto Shippuden Movie 5. There’s no avoiding the Two-Tailed Beast in the room, so let’s get this almighty whinge out of the way first.
