First Anime Title On HD-DVD By Year's End
Date: 10/4/2005
Toshiba has announced 35 commercial works will be marketed on their HD-DVD format in Japan by the end of 2005. The titles will originate from around ten Japanese movie companies. Japanese, South Korean and western films are to be released. The American film "The Aviator" is named by title. Although not specifically named by title, Japanese Animation works are mentioned by genre to be on the list. Because player units did not hit the market on mass scale in time for the year-end sales battle, disc releases have also been postponed.
