Thanks James. I read that they have The Turtle King mecha (or Space Terrapin in Battle of the Planets) in the movie, which is rather exciting to me personally. I had no clue, though obviously the Cataroller is there since it is featured in the trailer. Ever since I was a child watching Battle of the Planets, the giant Turtle mecha was my all-time favorite!

[quote][i]Originally posted by Springie[/i] Mine arrived today... I just watched it. The English is ok...it's enough to understand what is going on. I enjoyed watching it in Japanese a couple if months ago when I visited TJ, but the subtitles really cleared some things up for me! I believe it was a worthwhile purchase! :winknudge:[/quote] Thanks for sharing. I must have ordered mine from the slowest shipper available, LOL!

Love it or hate it, I'd love to get to watch it together with you all and then we could debate it to death! Tracking info shows that my copy is still sitting in Germany. Hmmm, maybe they just haven't updated in the last eight days. At this rate, all of you will get your copy before I get mine.

I'll definitely come back and let you know how good or bad the quality of this Malaysian release is. I just want a good DVD picture and some English subs that are good enough to allow me to understand what is going on. It's slow shipping, though, so it may take a few weeks to actually receive the DVD, but here's hoping to sooner rather than later.

It is popping up from a lot of Ebay sellers, and it is a Malaysian product. I have not yet received it, but it was only $15 with free shipping and it has English subtitles. I am not sure if this is an official release in Malaysia, or if it is a bootleg. I have no idea about the quality of the English subtitles either, though I hope they are decent enough for me to get the gist of the movie. It's Region 0. Years ago, I ordered three box sets of the original 105 episode of Gatchaman from China, bootlegs with hilarious English subtitles. What can you expect when the Chinese are translating Japanese into English!!! Anyhow, they were good enough for me to get what was going on fairly well. I still have those sets, as they were quite nice for bootlegs. Anyhow, I did purchase the American release that came later on. If they release an American version, I am more than happy to do my part and buy the official product. I turn to other sources when nothing is directly available here in the states. In any case, I hope it is a decent copy! I look forward to seeing the film for myself. I understand that it has gotten a lukewarm reception, but I still want to give it a shot!
