I know that the second Animation Runner Kuromi was officially released as a Region 0 disc (I have it, and I ordered it directly from CD Japan the day after it was released). Have any other anime works been released as Region 0 discs?

A whole lot of Central Park Media's (U.S. Manga Corps/Software Sculptors) titles are Region 0, but I get the idea you're not asking about domestic North American disks.

Thanks for all the replies thus far, and my apologies for not being more specific. I am looking for non-hentai, non-American releases.

Basically, I'd like to support Region 0 releases that give me the option of enjoying a series legally before it's released in America.

I was told that all Chinese dvds that are region 0, or region free, are bootlegs. I have found this true, mainly on eBay and the likes. Exclamation

This includes subbed anime as well, usually with poor English subs. Most of the culprits are companies in Taiwan or Hong Kong.

I have quite a lot of them. Embarassed
