B) For those who are looking forward for the french new series to be released, check out this site:

French new series out on march 22nd, containing the first 24 episodes.

They seem to be limited to 999 copies, so it'll be better to set the pre-order in time.

BOO!! and DOUBLE BOO!!

*Pissed off Astroy pic on the box*

SONY can kiss my butt!

there goes any chance of ever getting an un-insulting legitimate release of this show for non japaneese speaking fans.

Well screw you SONY.. Screw you very much.

:wahah: Thank you wildpegasus,

Finally the complete series in English. No more bootlegs with bad subs. But I hope it's not the edited crap we saw on tv here in the states. Since the dvd has the complete 50 episodes, it leads me to believe it won't be edited and may have a different cast, maybe the ones in the preview from the Japanese site. But I won't preorder, I'll wait 'till I see it and read the box thoroughly in the store.

50 episodes on 5 discs? :huh: I have the first two DVDs from Columbia/Tristar (Sony?) and there are 4 episodes per disc (3.8GB total). Now they're adding two more soundtracks and cramming on more than double the episodes? Even if they use dual-layer discs the quality is going to have to be reduced.

That's not many. I'd better contact Fafner immediately.
