My reaction, being in the US, was a deep *GASP!* followed immediately by "Awwww!"

And here I thought I was all done with importing Aussie releases. 
Seriously though, I can't understand why we've been so screwed over when it comes to Kon's works. The UK has a lovely BD release of Paprika, a release of Millennium Actress with a dub, and Paranoia Agent is still in print there. Australia has much of the same, and now this. Meanwhile all we ever got were barebones sub-only releases of Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers, plus long-discontinued Paranoia Agent sets that legitimately cost a kidney. Paprika is the only thing still in play. At this point I half-feel that other English-speaking territories are ahead of the US exclusives-wise.

I think at least some of Kon's work is under Sony's control in the US. I know at least that Tokyo Godfathers was streamed on Sony's own Crackle streaming service a couple years back, and I don't think they'd license a work just to put it on a service most folks have never heard of. I doubt they're intentionally holding up any release; they may just need a work to perform at a much higher scale than most anime companies would in order to give it any real attention (even just the attention needed for licensing discussions).

As expected, it's sub-only...it'd be really cool if someone could find that lost Animax Asia dub. I mean, I doubt it's actually good, but I really want to hear it.

Pretty sure the UK DVD has it, if you can get a copy from Amazon UK should it still be in print you shouldn't have an issue hearing it.
