Been looking for an offical DVD for Testuwan Atom 1980. I was looking at the korean version but it seems the boxset is only for Ep. 14+. Anyways, I'm a bit hesitant on this release, because of the languages this has, and the subtitle listing. (I only really know of Columbia Tri-star doing these types of releases.) Anyways. Thanks in advance.

YesAsia sometimes gets bad information on something, probably the most infamous and annoying being the Korean Indiana Jones boots. When they are informed they're carrying boots, they immediately pull them

I checked their complete One Piece listing. If they were there they're gone now.

That's the new series of Astro Boy anyway, not 1980

That's not a boot as far as I can tell.

Reasons why:

1- PAL encoding- I have never seen a PAL bootleg because it limits the market.
2- Mandarin dub
3- Publisher name- Bootleg publishers rarely if ever take a Chinese name, and I could swear I've seen them with other releases
4- 6 DVDs, boots would have been a max of 4 for 30 eps.

It's just not consistent with a boot

It's very likely the mainland China release, as it is consistant with their releases
