The original manga also inspired a 1979 film that Viz once licensed in North America along with its sequel Adieu Galaxy Express 999. Discotek released the first Galaxy Express 999 film on DVD in North America last year.


Correction: They released both films last year and they were out on the same day plus they recently licensed the 3rd film, Eternal Fantasy.

What NJ said.

Also @blaize. Lets just hope S'more doesn't mess up the GE999 release like they did Bobobo.

I have spoken to S'More on Facebook and im sure they have no intention of releasing this series without subtitles.

Apparently the schedule is for sometime in august-october for Set 1 and then the following two sets released within 6-9 months which i think is a great turnaround for a 100+ episode series like GE999.

Im hoping once the 2nd boxset is out for Bobobo and GE999 we'll get maybe another license from them. Im very intrigued as to what they might pickup after two very cool licenses.

........

Why would you want another license from them? S'more/Mill Creek Ent. Is hardly what I would call a good company, sure I give em props for their econo releases of some of the old Dic stuff, but yeah I would prefer that after they release whatever they have to release they leave anime alone. Leave the retro anime acquisitions to good companies like D-tek & Nozomi/Rightstuff.

So it's a DVD with a mini mag that gives your info about the episodes on the disc.

I assume S'More is just sicking the sub toei did for the streams on their DVDs since it's been shown by the Bobobo release they won't do any extra effort like create a sub track.

Who said they intended to release Bobobo without subs? You have to admit, they're only just starting out in the anime industry, and all beginners make their mistakes every now and again. Who's to say they won't learn from their mistakes and strive to improve later on? Sentai did this, and NIS America had it's problems in the beginning, so don't lose faith.

But NIS America & Sentai didn't release Bobobo RAW, nor are they divisions of a company that specializes in cheap 5 dollar wal-mart bargin bin DVDs.
