Oh? I wonder if THESE DVDs are gonna be in Japanese? If so, I might try this series out. I haven't watched it in english. But I wish Shout Factory would get Tokyo Mew Mew and Ojamajo Doremi DVDs. I really miss those series.

Almost certainly dub-only. That company has never released any animation with multiple language tracks.

The only other "anime" they have is Oban Star Racers, (you can debate whether it's actually anime), and there were french, english, and japanese dubs made for that show, but the US release is English only.

Although in some good news, Oban Star Racers was advertised as "uncut and unedited", so the release will probably be uncut. (I'm not sure there was anything TO cut in the show, but there were probably at least time edits for commercial breaks).

Actually Samuelp, Shout! Factory is currently in the process of releasing Nelvana's Medabots on DVD in the form of boxsets. Despite what the encyclopedia says, my set, as well as Shout! Factory's site begs to differ.

Apparently, they tried to release the show(the show being Medabots) bilingual with Japanese and English audio, but couldn't due the edits made in the show. So if Dinosaur King has edits that remove scenes from the show, then don't expect a uncut Billingual release. Although, I've heard it is one of 4Kids more faithful adaptations.

Sometimes they rearrange a scene to add in an extra commercial break, but I don't believe the dub has cut out more than 10 seconds of a scene at a time (usually they just cut an establishing shot or something like it).

The dub is definitely uncut enough to warrant a bilingual release, but I wouldn't get my hopes up, considering that the first DVD has five episodes and an MSRP of $14.99.
