One-Piece
We are proud to announce the acquisition of one of the greatest pirate stories of all time!! Set Sail for One Piece!
A story of a young boy inspired to become a pirate by his childhood hero "Red-Haired" Shanks. After accidentally eating some cursed Gum-Gum fruit, he gains the power to stretch his limbs like rubber!
One of the biggest series to be released in Japan and based on the graphic novels of the same name, this will be one sure-fire title to look out for this year!!

DVDs will be UNCUT and BILINGUAL (JAPANESE WITH SUBS AND UNCUT ENGLISH) Tentative Late 2005.


This can only be a good thing for the eventual US release.

Australia is Region 4, and Madman usually dont do region 2 varients for titles (they have, however, done some Region 2/4 titles, such as dragonball)

Uhh.. I dont think you really get it. What I'm refering to is the Region 4 Australian release from Madman, which has been confirmed for late this year. What I also said was that it shows promise for an American Region 1 release before it.

Region 1 DVDs don't nessecerally only work on Region 1 DVD players. I frequently play region 1 2 and 4 DVDs on the same player.
