    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d673JKo9bc Yamato news 5 is up. Summary: 1.Shipping costs are fixed now. 2.special items will be given to people who pre-order the dvd or blu-ray. If its bought through that book store chain its what I'm guessing is a cell phone strap, but it isn't announced yet what it will be if you order through the website. 3.they're in negotiations with Right Stuf to sell the dvds and blu-rays on there. 4.they will be attending SDCC and AnimeExpo this year. No word yet on other conventions. 5.went over the reason she has the index cards and is doing the learning time stuff. Apart from being how it was done in Japan she explained they are trying to reach both "big" and "little" children. She goes out of her way to make it clear it was a response to a youtube question so I think it was her way of publicly shaming someone who was quite frankly being a dick. I think she's getting tired of being called a dumb bimbo, useless, and stupid looking. I can't blame her to be honest. It's not her fault the company hired her and put her in this situation or decided to go with a very Japanese style of marketing. If the roles were reversed I don't think a lot of us here would do that well fumbling through Japanese trying to sell an american show there.

    Turn on the closed caption option.

    This reminds of the time I trudged my way through Hoop Days(aka Dear Boys) just bcause the writer and artist was Hiroki Yagami of G-Taste fame. The main character was something like 5'8" and could dunk like Jordan. The only other notable thing is the woman teacher that coaches both the girls and boys team is a swimsuit model outside of school and a lesbian in G-taste. Yes both series have a shared universe even though she is strictly professional in the Basketball manga.

    I'm impressed at how her english is getting much better. She still fumbles through some sentences, but its getting there. I think being in the states now and hearing how its normally spoken has helped her a bunch.

    I hope you aren't taking the "gets the crap beat out of" part literally.... ewww. The whole super heroine fetish thing is big over there, I can't really call it pr0n because often there's not even any nudity, just usually things like a female ultraman or all female power rangers teams that usually end up defeated, and slapped around with all the acting and harshness of a pro wrestling match. :shrugs:

    Except usually in those movies the super heroine gets the crap beat out of her.

    The Discotek releases are fairly cleaned up, there's a little grit here and there, but looks pretty good for a show from the mid to late 70s. Definately better than Voyager Entertainment's poor quality StarBlazers releases or AnimEigo's Arcadia of My Youth.

    Anybody up for an oldschool challenge? I got an old MSV RGC-80 GM Cannon, and to be honest its well out of my league as far as skill level is concerned. No polycaps, no stickers, a few slide decals, no color mold injection, and just plain old white plastic.

    Sorry if I came off as abrasive earlier, I just don't like bootlegs period, and Harlock is a favorite of mine. I waited 20+ years to finally get it released in the states, all along hearing from companies how it was too old, too long, not worth the price, and there's no interest for it. I'm afraid if Harlock, and other classics don't get supported they'll never see the light of day over here ever again.Also not to knock your girlfriend, but at $90 plus shipping you got hosed pretty badly. Rightstuf.com has the Discotek release for $41, although with the sales on there the way they are its not uncommon to pick it up like I did for $30. I can't recommend rightstuf enough. Good luck getting your money back, Ebay is usually pretty good about bootlegs and will most likely reimburse your girlfriend's account.
  13. renegadeleader1
    Are they region locked? If not they're a bootleg.
  14. renegadeleader1
    Why buy a bootleg when Discotek officially released the series subtitled on dvd less than 5 months ago?

    There's another thread on here about Crusher Joe, you should use the search function to find it.

    Umm...... HELL NO!

    I'm really confused now about how Yamato's Japanese owners are approaching things here in the states. Funimation just announced on their facebook page that they aquired the rights to the live action Yamato film. This is in addition to them already owning Resurrection, and yet Voyager is going it alone with subtitled StarBlazers 2199?

    1.There's never many topics because they almost always devolve into pointless arguments, and people looking to just be d-bags. That goes for both sides of the coin. The threads usually end up locked. 2.HG is really up to nothing right now outside of working with WEP to make a Voltron comic crossover, that will supposedly lead to more stand alone robotech comics. Other than that they had Robotech:Love Live Alive come out and are still waiting for the Live Action film to progress. 3.They have no interest in selling the rights to Macross anytime soon.

    I thougt it was going to be about what to buy, a valkyrie or a scopedog from votoms.
  20. renegadeleader1
    Yeah, this thing. http://www.tohokingdom.com/kaiju/godzilla_mill6.html

    Just saw the Desolation of Smaug. A big improvement over the previous film. My biggest complaint is waiting another year to finish the damn story.
  22. renegadeleader1
    I agree, and its hard to call it a waste of money when ID4 made back over 10 times what it cost to make. As for the American Godzilla, I know I'm in the minority but I liked it as a pure giant monster film. As a Godzilla film its utter garbage, but that blow has been softened by ToHo firmly establishing Zilla isn't the same as Godzilla. To be honest I would rather watch 98 Godzilla than some of the other Japanese ones. Godzilla All Monster's Attack(Godzilla's revenge) is sheer torture, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is convoluted with way too many crappy references to hollywood films, and Godzilla vs Megaguirus is boring at best. Also whoever the **** designed Godzilla Jr in Godzilla vs Space Godzilla needs to be shot.
  23. renegadeleader1
    I see your Dave Chapell and raise you Godzilla vs Charles Barkley!
  24. renegadeleader1
    Yes! I see! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzfjPM4naU4
