Revolutionary Girl Utena has a DVD due out in October. If your anything like those Ikuhara loving freaks Legion or Nagajin, you are eagerly awaiting to know what kind of extras you'll be getting on said DVD. Alas, the DVD will not include scenes of Ikuhara bathing himself much to my dismay. However, it will include:

• Anamorphic widescreen (Potentially Anamorphic)
• Ikuhara's running commentary track with English subtitles
• Behind-the-scenes video (Featuring Ikuhara supervising the dubbing in NYC, footage of voice actors Rachael Lillis, Sharon Becker and Mandy Bonhomme)
• Japanese TV spots
• Japanese trailers
• US teaser & trailer
• Kobayashi's art boards w/ Ikuhara's commentary
• Character sketches w/ Ikuhara's commentary
• Fan tribute (Fan art and cosplay contest winners!)
• Trivia quiz
• Clean, untouched video (no overlays or hard subs) Removable song & sign translations (for the dub)
• Sub track with Romanji song lyrics

DVD ROM Features:

• Art Gallery
• List of fan submissions
• Director's commentary script
• Complete English dub script (written by Ikuhara's hand-picked translator)

Quite the amount of features packed into this baby. Lets hope everybody else is taking notes on what a DVD should be. The dub will premiere in a Big Apple. Yes, a Giant red apple. Well, actually it will be The Big Apple aka New York City, but a Giant apple would suit Ikuhara's "unique" personality. However, a holiday that seems to have been made for Lord Ikuhara will be host the first showing of the dub, that Holiday is Halloween. This premiere happens to take place in the same place and at the same time as the Big Apple Anime Fest and will feature appearances by Kunihiko Ikuhara, Rachael Lillis, Crispin Freeman and Mandy Bonhomme.
