I can guarantee that Pokemon will NEVER happen in its uncut form. It's continuously airing, and something that The Pokemon Company International people would not care about doing. I'd buy all the sets, but I know that it would never happen... Digimon may still have a chance, with Hulu subs made (but I wanna own them on disk v_v... Even if the translations are grammar nightmare!) The dub sets seemed successful, so I hope that New Video does pursue them as well... They never did give a straight "no" on it, just the usual PR of "no plans". CCS also needs to re-emerge... No one wants to pay $200-400 per set for those! |

I'd be in favor of seeing CCS with a BD release, but that's not happening. You'd be lucky to even get a sub-only DVD using the old masters.

Sucks that both CCS and Sailor Moon are stuck in some sort of licensing hell right now. Europe got rights to SM at least, but nothing yet for North America. CCS I'm sure has had companies show interest, but who knows what's going on :/ Every year around big cons like Animexpo I'm hopeful for these two, but every year nothing happens... *sigh*...

I highly doubt it with Saban back in control of the franchise. animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-09-25/saban-brands-acquires-digimon-anime-franchise |

Not really a beta version. I emailed them about it and they simple said that they didn't have enough time to put caption on the DVDs at the time....Perhaps one of the reasons they released singles too. I guess they learned their lesson with 02 though. And as far as I know, Tamers also has caption. |

So, was it Toei that had a hold of it in between rights, which allowed those subs to pop up? |

Yea that would be awesome. If only they could do this with Sailor Moon, Sonic X, Shaman King, and Flint the Time Detective too. A rerelease of the Ocean dub of DBZ would be great also. |

I don't work for Discotek, but I did talk with TMS about licensing and they have the original Japanese masters. The Dub release has been damaged because the various companies didn't care about damaging the tapes when they went through bankruptcy multiple times. |

I was never able to have time to get to licensing Monster Rancher, and I was worried about carrying multiple SKUs so I was trying to have releases with both Dub and Sub. I'm just hoping that my calls out to the fans over the past six or so years helped show that there are still people who would buy the series. Anyways, Medabots Season 1 already was licensed and released on DVD, but nothing since then. |

From my talks with TMS (I was too busy for my company to pick up the license), the dub will be the original English-language release. Think of the Canadian partially edited airing, and not whatever happened to the U.S. airing. So basically, these will be the state of the episodes up on Hulu. |

The Shout! Factory set was released under license from Nelvana, and there's reason to believe that's expired. |

Holy crap. Great job, Discotek. Now, if they could do this for Digimon seasons 1-4, I would get on my knees and bow to them.

Man talk about an oldie. I remember watching this and there was a quite a bit of love for it. Never thought I'd see this again. Well, if Digimon can get some love why not Monster Rancher.

This is way better than BKN/Fox Kids/Fox Family/abc family edited version of Monster Rancher.
The Pokemon: VIZ why you have to leave it in english and Cartoon Network since '06 add the freaking original japanese opening unlike Bleach. The Digimon: see my recent post animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1190177&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=45 and finally Medabots robattle sure. c'mon Saban and Discotek.
Sentai Filmworks/Maiden Japan yes FUNIMATION hell no and block outside United States. Cardcaptors Sakura is a better title than Cardcaptors glad it's not on Aniplex. |
