Steamboy: Director's CutR2J
    Aside from differences in dubbed languages, this two-disc release appears to be identical to Regions 1 and 2. There is an interesting Region 1 gift set which includes the following:
  • 10 Steamboy Collectible Postcards
  • A 22 Page Manga Comic
  • 166 Page Booklet containing character designs, mecha designs, and selected storyboard sequences

    Region 2 Japan have several Steamboy releases, firstly a Starter Kit which was released before the film's theatrical run. It includes:

  • The making of Steamboy
  • An anime short 48 X 61 directed by Rintaro which is dedicated to Katsuhiro Otomo
  • Messages to Katsuhiro Otomo by Rintaro
  • Steamboy promo clip
  • A T-shirt (size: Japanese L) designed by Katsuhiro Otomo
  • A Steamboy title logo sticker

    First pressings of the Japanese Region 2 Steamboy Standard Edition included a bonus disc of highlights from the Steamboy Memorial Box, detailed below:

  • Five colour booklets
  • Four-disc Box Set
  • Disc 1 includes the feature film (NTSC, Japanese Dolby Digital 5.1 audio)
  • Disc 2 is titled Archive Side, containing trailer(s), promo footage, and more.
  • Disc 3 Visual Making Side
  • Disc 4 Sound Making Side

    Reviews I have read do not indicate the inclusion of any English subtitles on the Japanese release. I've seen it retailing for around US$90.00 and if you're a Japanese speaker it would certainly be the way to go.
