Viz Announces Death Note Omega Edition on Blu-Ray - Much Extras, Coming December 2015

On the hunt for Christmas 2015 Death Note gifts? 

Viz Media have a potential present for Death Note fans winging its way to our stores in time for the festive season.

But only if you happen to own a Blu-Ray player.

For many of us, this is going to seem like the same old, same old. Coupled with a heartfelt - how often can they repackage and sell this stuff?!

Actually this one appears to be a little different.  There's a lot included in the package for a start. 

Death Note: The Omega Edition includes all 37 episodes of the Death Note anime.  However, you can choose between a variety of dubs and subs. The dubbed languages are English, Japanese, Spanish, French, Portuguese; all of them (minus Japanese) are also available as subtitles.

In addition, this Blu-Ray box set includes Death Note Relight 1 & 2.  Those are the feature film length re-edit of the whole series; detailing the story with highlights, with the occasional scene not in the original telling.

You will be able to enjoy the Death Note: Relight Blu-Ray Omega Edition in Japanese with subtitles in English or French.  Or else hear both anime movies dubbed into English or French instead.

The blarb (and picture) is telling me that there's a Death Note art book in this package too.  I haven't got much to tell you about that, other than the pages open in the image are from the Death Note prequel one-shot.

We're not quite over yet - this Death Note Blu-Ray box set comes in a 'premium, metallic chipboard box', whatever that means.  (Metallic AND chipboard? So is it metal made to look like chipboard?  Or vice versa?  And premium as opposed to, I don't know, shabby?)

Let's just assume that Viz Media have poshed up the box enough to make it look good on your shelf and underneath the Christmas tree.

Blu-Ray Death Note: The Omega Edition will be available to buy on December 1st 2015.  However, it's probably only a Christmas gift for a Death Note fan you love very, very much, given the recommended retail price tag of $69.99.

Report back if you decide to go for this, in order that we get the low-down on its relative greatness or otherwise.

In the meantime, don't forget that there are plenty of Death Note Christmas gift ideas in our store too.  Including a whole section devoted to festive Death Note decorations, cards, table ornaments and the like.
