Tezuka DVDs (split from Animerama topic)

I recieved my order from JSDVD, well the Triton movie was just fine but the Jungle Empror set's wasn't as facy as the Japanese release it's offical for anyone thinking of a cheap way to get the 1989 kimba series but it's just two small set's with the disc's in plastic.

I think I have enough stuff for now. I have so much work to do before even thinking about publishing. Watch Fred Schodt or some other prominent author publish a book about the 50 year anniversary of the anime before I have my own book ready.

Just found this on Amazon.co.jp. Can't believe I didn't think to check before:



Comes out December 9 on DVD and Blu-ray. No English subs. I'll probably wait a bit for a release from another Asian country to save some money. I'm not even holding my breath for a US release as the movie did not perform very well.

As for other things to report. I got Ravex from Hong Kong. I wanted to put some pictures but the camera isn't in the house. The Chinese subs are not forced, once again. so it's all good. The packaging is very high quality and terrific illustrations, especially a two-page one in the middle pages of the booklet. But most surprising is a notice not to sell or play this album to anyone under the age of 18. o_O It's not a store sticker either, it has the same colors and design as the rest of the packaging.

Hongkong or some country like that might get a version with english subs i don't mind waiting on that since i haven't even read the hole manga yet, just like happned with the space battleship Yamato live action movie they even released the special edition over there.

As for Tezuka dvd's i'm in a struggle to get the 24 hour set 1983-1989 i orded on yesasia more than 2 weeks ago and i still haven't got any information on it still on waiting for stock they neither confirm nor deny that they could get it so gotta wait for that.

i TWICE ORDERED THAT, & TWICE WAITED about a month before they told me it was out of print.

Also on December 9th, Toei is releasing the 1990 2-hour long TV drama movie 手塚治虫物語 いとしき生命のために (Osamu Tezuka Dear Life Story) featuring Ikkō Furuya and Shōgo Kudō both in the role of Tezuka. (source: Amazon Japan, Japanese Wikipedia)

Yep, Hong Kong seems pretty good with English subs when they already exist. And we know they do as the movie was presented subtitled in France and New York.

Kimba 2009 just came out in Hong Kong with English subtitles.

This sucks, I had already bought the subtitle-less TW release...

EDIT: It's also REGION-FREE. Almost makes me scared it could be bootleg, but yes-asia isn't supposed to carry any.

Don't worry, F-Man. They are totally a legit company. Universe Laser has released the entire Heisei series of Godzilla films from 1984 to Destoroyah with English subtitles legitimately on Region 3.Wanna know why I mentioned them? TOHO is highly strict as to whom distributes their products and cracks down on knockoffs quick save for Megalon.

I own the first two 1984 and Biollante and they are relatively decent ,but are fairly bare-bones release for their price. I suggest you swipe the Jungle Emperor film if you want the subs.

I thought I bought that 3-eyed 1 set from yesasia, & that was almost certainly a bootleg.
