Unfortunately we had to delay the Stormriders DVD for the time being. The master that we received was pretty dirty and not in as good of condition as we were expecting. We really don’t want to release it the way it is so right now we’re looking at cleanup options or getting a new master. Everything else has been completed but the master is the problem right now. Surprisingly the Stormriders is in much worse condition then Ebola Syndrome or Chinese Torture Chamber Story. Any updates will be posted here.
Burning Paradise we are getting ready to get the master so hopefully that one is in better condition. The Taxi Hunter master also has a lot of dirt and we’re also looking at cleanup options on that before we set a street date. These three titles are going to be released, but with the time and cost of cleanup we have to take them one at a time.
Kani Goalkeeper is still not out because we haven’t received the materials. Until they send the materials we can’t set the date. Hopefully they come soon and if so it will be added as soon as possible.
Thank you

I’m guessing the HYD thing is another anime? Speaking of Crying Freeman, can y’all please get that Dacascos movie, too? I’d also really love to see the Devil Man OVAs and Amon get an R1 sub already. What else? Can you please license-rescue some of the Urban Vision stuff and the WB Golden Harvest stuff? [Yeah, I know the latter catalog is a long shot, but you never know.] Oh, and maybe you can see steal Zatoichi’s Pilgrimage back from Miramaxe? Thanks for considering my requests.

I’m really excited for the Hana Yori Dango Final (live-action) movie but… it’s really the finale to the two-season (live-action) drama.
Um… not sure how that works out, but I’m still excited, I guess =D

Will your Blu-ray discs be region-locked? This is very important for international buyers.
Thanks

I presumed that it was the feature film which concluded the Japanese live-action adaptation, of which I know there to be at least two TV seasons and a movie (or possibly a special) but there was an anime adaptation before that and other live-action versions in other countries, before and after the Japanese one, and I don’t know whether any of these others had a movie or not.
So exactly which Hana Yori Dango series is this the finale of?

Just watched the Fist of the North Star disc and all I gotta say is fantastic job!! The Toei remaster looks stunning to say the least and the subs were great for the most part. Seeing it in Japanese for the first time was a real treat and is definitely better than the cheesy (yet classically camp) old dub. I’d agree with Daniel that more stuff like Urban Vision/Streamline’s back catalog is definitely up your guy’s alley. I’ll definitely support any further anime releases in the future (hell, I plan on re-buying Crying Freeman once it’s out)

Patiently waiting for STORMRIDERS, BURNING PARADISE, and TAXI HUNTER… I still can’t believe Hong Kong films are being released in the US by a company that actually cares about quality control. Hang in there, please…
