Maybe watch both? I really like parts of RaXephon, but given how much of it feels like just a clone of Eva (and that other series), he ought to at least try watching Eva first.

And . . . um . . . yeah, Dirty Pair, too.

I remember trying to watch Dirty Pair Flash! back when I first started watching anime, and it didn't float my boat. Before I buy this, I think I'll watch my boyfriends Dirty Pair DVDs, as he has one of the older series, and Flash!

Not getting a dub? Then what the hell was the point of licensing the series if it's gonna get the subs only? Then I'm not gonna buy it since I already downloaded it.

Go whine elsewhere. What's the point of listening to dubs when you've already read it in English?

Because, amazingly enough, some people actually like English dubs.

And besides, Ranma 1/2 and Dragonball started in the 80s but didn't get licensed until 2001 but they still got dubs

Yeah, maybe dubbing it would raise the price of the DVDs but there's one simple way to get around that...GET A JOB AND STOP BEING CHEAP!!

Kei and Yuri were the girls that got me into anime-although I admit I always liked Kei better than Yuri.

Okay, serious question now for those of you who've seen it: I know it's a classic of American anime fandom, I know it was one of the major series of the pre-Akira era that people watched on Nth-generation VHS tapes that had had subtitles edited in the hard way, etc. etc....but is Dirty Pair actually any good?

Go ahead and pre-order now.

I bet they paid like 10 dollars for this one.

It's a Sunrise title, and they don't exactly give away their titles for free. The price involved kept ADV from optioning it [they released the OVA's, remake OVA's and movies], so I'm guessing they might of gotten a better deal, but not necessarity a bargain basement deal. I imagine RStuf has moved a whack of Dirty Pair over the years, and know what the market for it is.

I mean, Dark Horse has made action figures and shot glasses based on the stuff Adam Warren's done, so there's a definite paying market out there for this stuff. I'm curious if they'll do a dub since this is something with more market history then other items they've picked up

I'm curious if we'll see a reissue of the OVA's or movies accompanying this [whether notADV sitll has them, or RightStuf license rescues them] . http://www.darkhorse.com/Search/Browse/Dirty+Pair/PpwNwkt8 Dark Horse has done good business with Dirty Pair over the years. It's like Gunsmith Cats, one of those franchises that's bigger than newer fans suspect.

Most awesome liscensing news EVER!!! Finally, my favorite anime series is coming out in the US completely. Here's hoping it's all 26 eps (since the last 2 were video/ld releases only). If they use the R2J remastered dvds for the video, that'll be awesome. Let's just hope they do a straight release of the R2J dvds, since they have like 5-6 eps each, and not a "4 eps per dvd reencoded" thing.

Now someone needs to go talk to TRSI about putting the streamline dubs back in the "Movie" dvds, since ADV couldn't. My ADV boxsets will have new friends here soon. hehe.

The Streamline dubs of 1990 were unbeilevebly supbar and dull. Why anyone would want to hear them again, is beyond me.

Shawne posted on AOD that they are using the remastered video and all 26 episodes will be included.

I actually have all 3 on VHS (and have captured 2 to mts already to convert to dvd for prospertity) and I enjoy then. I'm a Streamline whore, since i actually enjoy the old dubs. Maybe it's just Nostalgia, but I honestly like them AND enjoy them. Whole reason why I have my Criterion Akira LD, since Pioneer renigged on putting the Streamline dub on the Akira when it was released on dvd.
