What is HBO MAX in the first place?

HBO MAX is a flat -rate video distribution service based on Warner's paid TV channel "HBO", which is extremely popular in North America.HBO itself has been providing video distribution services for a long time, but it has been renewed since May 2020, and it has begun to deploy worldwide, and it is a popular distribution service with about 40 million users, which is now starting last year.I am.

HBO MAX has a huge popular title such as "Game of Slones" and "West World" broadcast on HBO, but recently it has become popular that Warner movies have recently been watched at the North American Theater.The point of.Due to the Warner system, we distributed "Wonder Woman 1984" and "Justice League Snider Cut", the latest DC comics -based films, and increased many members.

Actually, the HBO work itself is being distributed on the star channel of movie specialty channels and Amazon PrimeVideo, and it is an honest impression that the works that I have already seen are lined up for now.

It seems that there is no distribution of HBO's popular drama "Game of Slones", and "Wonder Woman 1984" and "Justice League Snider Cut", which had become a highlight in North America.This is a bit surprising (according to the explanation at the conference, "Game of Slones" is charged each time).

Regarding theater public films, the situation is different from North America, which the theater is not doing in the first place, so there is no plan to distribute the status status, and the "Justice League Snider Cut" will be distributed from Warner Japan because it will be distributed from Warner Japan.There is no plan.

However, in conjunction with HBO's new drama / documentary "Raised by Wolves / Planets", "Tiger Woods / Light and Shadow", "Chernobyl", "Love Craft Country", "Watchmen" and so on.It is quite good to be able to see highly evaluated topical works.

Personally, it is a pity that DC comics works, which are also the points of selling HBO MAX, can be seen at once, but still, among the DC comics, the extremely strange hero team is the main character.It is a super good news that DOOM PATROL will finally land (it will come to Season 2).Personally, I want to join just to see this.

At the recital, it was repeatedly emphasized that the new HBO MAX work could be watched in Japanese at the fastest fastest because it was a monopoly contract for Warner, so it seems that the past works will come in more and more.I feel like that.

In addition, U-NEXT also announced that popular voice actors will be actively used by focusing on dubbed production.I'm also a dubbed movie fan, so I'm looking forward to it.However, from that background, it was explained that simultaneous distribution with North America HBO MAX was not very aggressive.

What about U-NEXT?

U-NEXT is the top in Japan, which is a distribution service that is ranked third in Netflix and AmazonPrime videos.However, it is not all all -you -can -eat, and there are many bills in the bill each time (although HBO works are all you can see).

The monthly fee starts at 1639 yen (tax included).However, this price is for long -term contractors, and a penalty is generated if you cancel within one year.Those without penalties are a plan of 2189 yen (tax included) per month (1200 points that can be used for billing each time).

Considering this price, Netflix's basic plan is 990 yen per month, and AmazonPrime video is 4,900 yen annual fee, so it feels quite bullish compared to other services.By the way, U-NEXT also comes with unlimited reading magazines, so it may be a great deal for those who read a lot of magazines.

By the way, there is an unlimited 31 -day trial, so if you are worried, you should check it out first.As a movie drama fan, it is likely that the HBO MAX work will come to how frequent and speed will come!
