If Kawamori wanted me to buy his product, why doesn't he make it easier? Even if he can't release state-side, he could still make a region free disk we could import. Even better, that would have real translations.
By not doing this, Kawamori and Bandai Visual are telling me they do not want my business. This is why I don't bother to buy R2 copies and instead patronize bootleggers.
I have no problem with giving HG my money if they make a product I want.
