Aniplex will bring the Japanese Blu-ray box of Kara no Kyoukai / Garden of Sinners to the Unites States.

English subtitles were already listed before for the set and now it looks like also the bonus material will be subtitled and a translation for the Japanese text in the “Deluxe Visual Chronicle Book” will be supplied in an additional booklet.

Here’s the full information about the release from Rightstuf:

Contains 7 movies, each on its own disc, plus a bonus disc featuring extras and “The Final Chapter,” a bonus chapter created exclusively for this Blu-ray set.

Features new cover art exclusively drawn by series co-creator and artist Takashi Takeuchi and includes a Deluxe Visual Chronicle Book containing staff interviews, all key visuals, illustrations from each movie, and artwork from the DVD packages, plus, exclusive to this North American release, a separate booklet of English translations for the Japanese text in the Deluxe Visual Chronicle Book!

Special Features: The Garden of Sinners: Remix – Gate of Seventh Heaven (highlighted scenes from each movie with music by Yuki Kajiura & performed by Kalafina, subtitled), Special Program “Retracing All Seven Chapters of The Garden of Sinners” (subtitled).

Spoken Languages: Japanese (Linear PCM 5.1 Surround), English subtitles.

Video: 16:9 HD Widescreen, 1920 x 1080p, MPEG-4 AVC.

The Blu-ray box will only be available via Rightstuf for $398.98 (it is listed with an original price of $598.98). The Japanese price is 52,500 Yen, with the Amazon discount 38,497 Yen ($458,292), so it’s “cheaper” than in Japan but still not “cheap” enough for me^^. I speculated before that Aniplex will bring the box sooner or later to the USA, but I hoped that they wait half a year and then make a more reasonable price. At least I often had luck with customs when I order something from Rightstuf, so maybe…
