    Didn't Gundam Wing come out here on DVD first, and bilingual too? Sounds like total BS to me, considering (1) they use territorial lockout on all their DVDs, and (2) the HK bootlegs are be far cheaper than R1 DVDs for the Japanese market, and region-free too. These are openly sold on Yahoo Japan auctions, I don't see Bandai having a cow over that.

    Poor Halle is now a cheap imitation of Trinity: Link courtesy of AICN Check out AICN, several reviews of Return of the King from the Director's Guild screening have materialized. Anyone going to the 1 day marathon of the flick plus the extended version of the first 2 films?

    Weren't they the same ones translated by Fred Shodt way back in the 1980s, published by Del Rey books?
  4. Jolly Rogers
    What is that?
  5. Jolly Rogers
    Oh no. Here comes the flood of hentai tentacle jokes.

    Good point, I'd forgotten Bandai America eliminates the original soundtrack even though there's plenty of room on the DVD to keep it...

    I don't know about the others, but Zeta is supposed to come out as a complete box first, then the individual discs will come out later.

    Wow. That's a new low. You could blow all that money and get the "new OVA". Or you could just wait about 2 weeks and buy the new Gundam game (Encounter in Space) for PS2 when the US version comes out and get all the FMV footage AND a game.
  9. Jolly Rogers
    Or wait until June and pay $39.99 for the PS2 port according to this report

    Unless I missed it completely, I don't think they really explained how Helm's Deep changed from this minor skirmish in the book to an all-out epic siege in the movie.

    No sign of them. Bandai is off crying in a corner after their Power Rangers Ninja Storm toys have been blacklisted this holiday season.

    Thanks, I don't know how I managed to miss it. Guess I was looking for a different icon.

    Very well written, but I think you left one one key element that was revolutionary about Gundam. Up until then, all the giant robot anime had a lone hero robot fighting a horde of "monster" robots. Gundam was the first one to apply the concept of mass produced military vehicles to the giant robot genre, and this, more than anything, had a direct impact on Macross.

    Which TRU did you see it at? The local ones never even heard of Matrix series 2 figures. They probably won't get it until end of December.

    The original thread is here Mods, please close this one.

    Kind of strange how they did not subtitle her Old English burial song in the movie itself but the subtitles came up in the Music section of the Supplements.

    ... and Samurai Shodown 5 pics too please!

    I finished watching discs 3 and 4 last night, there were way more funny anecdotes in this one then the ones from the first movie. Even though the box said the supplement materials aren't rated, they still bleeped out the naughty words. <_

    Whoa, thanks for the very informative post Graham!

    Patlabor TV series and New OVA series. Good stories and tons of fun. Thumbs way up.

    Well, for better or worse, the SD Gundam figures and model kits are 25% off at Toys R Us until Nov. 22nd. Time to grab them before they jack the price back up unless you absolutely despise the show.

    This is the first DVD I've ever heard that comes with a BLEEPED commentary track... check out the cast commentary track. Bernard Hill (Theoden King)'s sailor mouth gets bleeped so much you can't make out what he was saying half of the time. I wonder if there is an unrated (not PG13) version of the DVD, at least commentary track-wise.

    Those are Japan standards and are at least 2 sizes smaller than US standards. My friend was all happy when someone bought him one of those Cospa Zeon shirts... he ended up giving it to his wife as a baby tee because it's simply way too small for him, and he's not even a pound overweight for an Asian. Don't waste your $ on something you can't wear unless you're under 10.

    This version made the theatrical release look like a mindless action movie. There are a lot of character moments, which made it feel more like the first film. The return of Boromir is also much welcomed, and the scenes with him and Faramir do repair the damage Faramir's character suffered in the theatrical version of The Two Towers. I am beginning to think the trilogy is the most expensive trailers ever made... for the extended DVDs!

    Hmm. Been a long time since I read the book but I believe that the trees did go kick some orc ass at Helm's Deep in the book, Merry and Pippin did find some good weed to smoke among the flotsam and jetsam in what's left of Isengard in the book, Treebeard did whine and moan about the Entwives in the book, Merry and Pippin did drink the Ent draught in the book, etc. Where can I buy a copy of the version of the book that you read?
