That's very good news indeed. Looks like my Amazon Japan account will get a nice dusting-off this year!

As far as the English-speaking market is concerned, waiting for Shinkai's films to get the high-def treatment they deserve almost seems like an exercise in futility; good on them to add subtitles from the start and spare us from an agonising (possibly endless) wait.

I sure hope that substantial discount on the limited-edition set holds for a while, though I'll probably put in a pre-order soon to lock in the price.
