144-150 + 217-222 Radical Japan Vols 1-2

[Zot!]

A lot of Imamura is oop, so even if expectations are dashed for something more obscure for the Radical Japan banner, I would consider this something of a rescue. The arrow set would be a great follow up for another. I am also happy with individual releases like The Eel.

The Pornographers in particular would have fit right in to the theme/era of this box.

Yeah, that's very puzzling to me as well. I've got the MOC and Criterion releases so it's too bad this isn't just UHD discs as I don't need more Region B blus. But Insect Woman and Intentions will look terrific so I'm sold. I really wish this box had A Man Vanishes tho. As to the OOP Arrow box, at least we know Fran knows which rights holders to talk to if they did a second Imamura box.

Have to imagine we’re going to see a standalone release of Profound Desires of the Gods too at some point

From Fran:

‘Why wasn’t The Pornographers included’ - two reasons, one it was a test case for UHD. Two for those who have the MoC box this would clearly separate the titles since there would be less need for missing titles. While I like the early features, especially ENDLESS DESIRE, anyone who is completist enough to buy for those alone would be the type of person to upgrade for the 4Ks

I actually really appreciate that they consider things like that when putting these together - thanks Fran!

Exactly, it's actually very insightful and pragmatic. Now don't forget to release all the stuff I want.

Just noticed the spine numbers are mismatched between the product description/box set and the individual keep cases: 217-222 vs 212-216. I'll wait for Radiance to fix either before I update the thread title.
