Holic the movie - dvd
I was surprized to learn that Holic the movie got a French dvd release so shortly after the Japanese one.
Apparently the movie was selected by the Annecy festival and the French editor rushed the DVD release in order to benefit from the festival cover.
The collector edition was very nice and neat.
- The French Editor "Kaze" made a beautiful Holic theme digipack. Inside and outside pictures are either Yuuko or Holic's smoke. It's very classy
- There's 3 DVDs. One for Holic, one for Tsubasa and one for the extras (mainly centered around holic I guess)
- The booklet contains the beautiful backgrounds used in both movies. And there's an interview of the director, the producer and Ohkawa-sensei ! (it's not ground breaking but the part where they explained that mokona is a fangirl bait is quite interesting)
- The audio commentary of the Holic movie is VA fan worthy if you have one hour to waste it's very cute listening to Jun Fukuyama (Watanuki), Kazuya Nakai (Doumeki) and Sayaka Ohara (Yuuko), pera pera-ing about nothing (Jun loves creating *new recipes* like curry soba and fears being bald) and everything (What's Life purpose ??).
Jun is especially cute (if not a bit ditzy), you could picture his inner puppy running wild in the studio recording (Ohara san said he was posing while saying his lines).
Nakai was like the wiser and clever old brother, dodging Ohara's philosophical questions AND Jun's randomness. He was mocking the fact that Doumeki had 5 lines and eating all the time.
Ohara-san was your typical Japanese woman, laughing every now and then. To do her justice, she was the one telling interesting tidbits about the movie (check for batou from GitS life-size doll at the beginning of the movie) as opposed as Jun gossiping about how Doumeki pushed Watanuki with his chest (!!)
- Ten Lithographies (not drool worthy)
- A piece of reel (Sadly no Yuuko on it)
