I haven't watched the copy of Eternal Boy I have yet all the way through (I'm not up to that episode number yet and I'm very systematic lol) but I have checked out several scenes just to see if I could understand the subs. They look to be okay. Not exactly natural English (for example, a line read "...

That clock is on that video file of Eternal Boy I mentioned too (and sychronizes with the screenshot as well). Interesting to know the reason for the clock though - I never knew that before so thanks for the enlightening! No, it wasn't too bad, and worth it if it's got all the eps subbed. I realized...

Yeah - I think I can mod my DVD player to be region free with a firmware update (haven't needed to try yet), and I'm sure my computer can read it. Too bad this one wasn't converted. What's surprised me the most about this is they use this image on the box for set 2, which is a bit misleading (That i...

Hehe. I'm almost done with Battlestar Galactica (two eps to go - the finale essentially). BSG I felt started off great (the miniseries that kicked it off was awesome) but got so muddled after a while it became much less fun and too convoluted/nonsensical for its own good. So I agree there - I have h...

Nobody's arguing that, in my opinion, es-crew, and I don't see this at all as a bias against other countries in the least. I've gotten merchandise from other countries too and personally enjoy seeing new things out there (including these shirts). But it's a bit different me searching something out o...

i agree with you totally on these.. the mods are being bias i think. Well I didn't say that, exactly. It's completely up to the mods discretion if they want advertising on a forum they run and I can understand why (and also agree that) these posts were undesireable/spamming. On the other hand, I wo...

(Hey, I like Lost ^.^) ]Bad Username, I totally agree that the quality may not be great, but the initial idea was, I already have the retail US release (pretty great quality though of course the cuts/changes/4:3 treatment are annoying) - even if these were low quality VCD's or something, but had com...

I dunno, as for me, these shirts looked a bit sketchy to me. I looked and thought about it but, nyeh - the pictures don't do a great job (for me) of showing the hologram, so I decided not to chance it. I've seen pics of the official hologram shirt they released years ago that look amazing (sold out ...

I wish you luck on your quest also! You might wait a bit on this as I bought a set off eBay (that I believe to be a bootleg from Malaysia, though they're claiming it's official) that's *supposedly* all 50 episodes in Japanese with English subtitles (as well as some other subtitling options). See inf...

So if I'm reading this correctly, Greatest Robot for the 1960's anime version has never been released (even in the Ultra Collection) in English (either dubbed or subbed), so is not on any of the collector's sets? Just clarifying here - I know the version exists for English-speaking viewers for the 1...
