Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums and have been enjoying reading some of the posts. The worst anime posts were fun to read***. I'm still browsing through the other posts...but anyway,
I was wondering if anyone has heard if The Professional Golgo 13, the original old school anime, will ever be released on DVD with US dvd region codes. Sites like amazon only sell the VHS. I've googled it too, and only the UK versions show up, but even those places are out of stock. Even Urban Vision's official site only has Golgo 13 Q-B*** info. Does anyone know what the deal is ? thanks for your time everyone. G13 |

EH, this is one case where the manga is much, MUCH better than the anime. I'd like to see a new Golgo anime, this time done right with more realism and less perversion.

The books must be out of print from like Forever then... too bad they dont recollect em and then let Darkhorse reload the whole thing. theyd be cool to read... I found this one site b4 that had scans of the covers of like 20 + issues... oh well.... thanks for the tip though...I thought the anime was great, so imagine the mangas... later D ! |

The Golgo 13 manga isn't out of print. It's been published nonstop since about 1968. You can probably find the latest volume at your nearest Japanese book store. Or if you look on Yahoo Japan's Auction site (like Ebay) you can probably find a complete set of the manga for sale. If you like James Bond and the Punisher you'll love the manga. |

I'm still stuck with the VHS Version, which is now having a few dropouts-video noise here and there, as with most VHS over a certain time period, thus i had to dub it onto my DVD Recorder for archival purposes. Or at least until UV releases it on DVD and hopefully they'll do the same with Hurricane Polymar.
First time i heard of Golgo 13 was from the old nintendo games back in the day. they were cool, but hard as hell to beat. (Duke Togo actually get's laid in the game.LMAO) A friend of mine who worked at a comic store back then, hadmislead me into thinking that the movie The Professional (Y'know the one with French actor Jean Reno and natalie Portman) was based on Golgo 13. uh,yeah..right.  
good thing we had free passes. |

Found the auction site. Couldn't really find any sets. The encyclopedia looks interesting though. I think this can be considered Anime at least or fall in this category or retail...but Check out this vintage item though. 
But I found the Shopping site & though i cant read a lick of Japanese, I did figure the prices. Not bad (like $3 an issue) Time check out the book store though. thanks again...D peace, -13 ps.
Hey S-T. That link would probably interest you and the rest of us too. Though its from Sega. But it costs like $50 ! Though, that movie was cool (kind of only though)...Jean Reno as GOLGO 13 ?!...LOL...thats funny. Hey, he was in Godzilla with "Ferris Bueller" though! n.e.way. Later. |

Good luck and thanks for the ebayjpn link, I'm still hoping that one of the japanese videogame companies will produce a brand new G13 game for PS2,XBOX or even Gamecube.
Unforunetly Vic Tokai (who released the 2 Nes games) is no longer in the biz,as far as i know.

I was wondering what happened to The Professional. I knew Queen Bee was on dvd for awhile, but I wasn't sure what was holding up The Professional. I wouldn't mind seeing more of Duke, if it's a new movie or an english translation of the manga.

Most of the company's back-catalogue isn't on dvd, because of rights issues. I think a UV rep also told me they wanted Dezaki to do another commentary.
