Grave of the Fireflies Steelbook Edition
Available to order at Amazon USA

Release Date:
July 8, 2025

As Studio Ghibli’s catalogue of works continues to get new re-releases under the GKIDS label (distributed by Shout! Studios), some fans may well want to get the limited edition Steelbook edition that’s being released this week. But to truly appreciate this film directed by Isao Takahata, we recommend checking your local theatre listings for when Studio Ghibli Fest 2025 begins!

This annual event puts these films onto the silver screen where they should belong, and every year, the rotation of works are slightly different. While it’s very likely the digital version will be used over a 35mm film print, there’s no denying the power of this movie will leave many in tears. There’s no need to go into an extensive review, since what’s coming is a haunting look at a troublesome time about those Japanese people trying to survive during World War II.

Below, is a list about what’s notable in this release. Some folks opt to collect this studio’s works one at a time instead of buying it all in one go:

30 Years of Predator, as Revealed By Fright-Rags

PredatorBy Ed Sum (The Vintage Tempest)

There’s plenty of special anniversaries going on at some point in the year, and for me, yes, I want to get my inner Predator on! This alien who is out to slay the most dangerous prey from the Milky Way galaxy did not know who he would end up facing in the movie that launched this franchise. John McTiernan’s 1987 film showed Arnold Schwarzenegger saying, “If it bleeds, we can kill it!”

Although there have been numerous sequels, comics, novels, games, and a reboot movie on the way, nothing compares to the original. Personally, I caught a sighting of Dark Horse Comic’s continuation of this world when the first collection came out in June of 89 and I read all the releases since then. In honour of this franchise’s 30th anniversary, Fright-Rags will soon unleash the Predator Collection, a set of mask and clothing to show how much fans like me love this beast. At the same time, perhaps I should get around to finishing painting up my Super Deformed Predator I found a while garage kit hunting. I’m not talking about the Funko Pop! vinyl, but rather a resin kit.
