I'm more surprised that they still intend to release it at all.

Ultimately, I think you will see that it won't get released at all. At least, I'd be surprised if it did.

I wouldn't be surprised, but aw man I hope not.

Speaking of which, I need to put in my pre-order. I ended up receiving bootlegs of this series long ago, and I really want to replace all of my bootlegs with legal releases.

...

Speaking of bootlegs, anyone else have some funny translations or terrible Engrish to share? I have one that's so "member"able that even after I buy the AU release of Cardcaptor Sakura I still won't give away the bootleg.

The line occurs in one of the last episodes after Sakura traveled to the past to see Clow Reed. She's talking with Kero afterwards and telling him things that he has forgotten. I imagine the actual subs are supposed to have him saying, "My memory has deteriorated," but instead he states, "My member has deteriorated." Laughing Laughing

I haven't seen very many bootlegs at all, so I don't have many examples to draw from. But I do remember my Karin bootleg (I eventually got a legit copy), the male lead kept on saying of Karin whenever she spazzed out, "What's wrong with that guy?" Laughing

I've been wandering about this. I preordered Fushigi Yugi back in February when I found out it was being released. It was supposed to be released in April, then got pushed back to June 12. Well it's past June 12. Is Fushigi Yugi going to be released at all? If not, they need to say so, then I'll just replace the one I pre-ordered with something else.

@ Youkai Warrior

Fushigi Yugi is shipping. I have already received a copy from RACS and it was not a pre-order. When you get yours depends on what company you ordered from.

Yeah, it looks like Amazon is gradually stocking it, too. I'm guessing Media Blasters did not anticipate demand for the product.
