XoX This is the Japan version DVD btw (Region 2)... but it *IS* the official set, and bear in mind Region 2 DVDs means that it DOES NOT come with english subtitles Those who are interested in buying.... I wish you all the luck in the world And when I say I luck I mean = Hahaha... damouse... you think your dad would wanna get this boxset?

Hmmm... January 2006 for the 1st DVD box ne... Got time to save some I guess.... Hell yo, I'm supposed to STILL be saving for a Region 2 DVD Boxset of ANTIQUE!!! BWAHHHHH

P.S.
The Takitsuba FC Bulletin Vol. 14 came out today. The cover was Yoshitsune-Takki and Yoichi-Tsuba!!! HOHOHO... maybe they have blooper photos? I hope they do have funky photos of Takitsuba posing ridiculously funny in their Yoshi-Yoichi costumes! XD Wakakaka... OK gotta go now, but you can take a peek of some pictures from the Vol. 14 FCs here | here | here (all photos from Yahoo! Auctions Japan)

and that doesn't include SHIPPING yet... can you imagine... shipping cost for not one but TWO DVD BOXSETS.... *thud* and you wouldn't want to risk regular shipping on this one coz what if it gets lost in the mail *DIES*

i really dunno why Japanese DVDs are THAT expensive too... I guess its just the standard for Japan... and the thing is that Japanese DVDs can be sold OUTSIDE JAPAN *BUT* overseas DVDs/CDs CANNOT be sold in Japan *thud* If let's say a chinese movie wants to be sold in Japan then it needs to be manufactured in those expensive (possibly diamond-dust-coated DVDs---thats why they're so expensive LMAO) Japan DVDs and released by a Japanese company in that Japanese standard price lol XD

Ahhh........... how do Japanese people live in such an expensive expensive world....... -.-;;;; I salute them XD lol



Aki-chan... i also kiasu leh... "zettai MUST have" XD XD XD Tak boleh stop now lehhh...! XD XD XD

Egads...I thought US$200 for the Gokusen box set was expensive...but then again, this is all 49 episodes *plus bonus footage*. I'm recording Yoshi every week (has subs), but I know our local TV is cutting footage in favor of CMs, so I now know that I haven't seen every scene.

How long is each yoshi ep in ur tv station? If its 60 mins incl cm then they prob didnt cut anything coz every yoshi episode i recorded from nhk runs only for 45 mins TOPS, including previews and a short yoshi location guide review. Only the 1st ep is 55 mins.

Yeah, the japanese and their ridiculous prices for DVD box sets. I remember how I thought I'd get some dorama and anime cheaper in used book stores - only to nearly fall over in shock when I saw that 20 000 yen for eight episodes is considered cheap! -_- Not to talk about the dorama that were sold episode by episode... ;_;

.............*whips out her calculator and starts punching in numbers*.............that makes it RM2165 or AUD$722 *DIES* That's like my entire salary of TWO MONTHS (working part time)!!! WOW. It is THAT expensive. O___o;; And with no subtitles, I couldn't do much with it. Waaa...

BUT! I'll punt the price at my dad and see what he says ~ if he SERIOUSLY thinks he wants to get it, I'll roll over and die of shock...(my dad is a even bigger Takki fan than I am! OH NOES) I have no doubts in my mind that my dad WILL want the Yoshitsune DVDs but at that price? It's like my one-year return ticket Melbourne-Penang. Guuuuuuh. And yeah, I could probably FLY to Japan, too, at an off-season price.

I will attempt to persuade my dad to buy them for me but erm....I have my doubts. My recent manga splurge has already ticked him off beyond reason T__T. Damouse! *jumps up and down* Good to see you here ^__~!

The episodes that air in L.A. are one hour, BUT...there are more CMs than you can imagine...sometimes it seems like there are five minutes of CMs in a row!

I know they cut footage because I've been reading a synopsis of each episode after I watch it. We just had episode 35, the battle of Dannoura.

They cut what they probably consider "insignificant" stuff. One of the scenes was when they let Yoshiko out after she had overheard the plans to switch the Emperor & Crown Prince.

wow I had no idea dvd box sets were soo expensive I was actually hoping to get yoshitsune now i wish i just d/led it like gokusen seriously i've never heard of a box set being that much money *dies*

Comment from: aozorak [Member]

NEEDS SUBS!! hmmm.... actually there are 13 discs in the entire box set and since it's erm... a 49-parter... let's see... about $43/disc and $11/episode... plus there are all the goodies like *exclusive*PHOTOBOOKLET!Special offshots... Ahahaha... and couple with the fact that the boxsets are not gonna be released at the same time... we'll probably have time to save up ^_^ does that make the 65000yen price-tag reasonable???

*hmmmm*

But the lack of subs... ARGGHH!! I bought Tsubasa's Saigo no Bengonin and SummerSnow region 2 boxsets, and I STILL HAD to download fansubs so that I can understand what's going on... Pathetic ne?

WHY CAN'T THE DVDS JUST COME SUBBED!!??

=P I understand your pain and the constant strain on the bank account. If I wasn't so crazed about TakkiTsuba, I might be able to buy myself a car! Or at least pay off the monthly installments comfortably... BOoooOo!

Comment from: nefretiri [Member]

I guess to Japanese standards it's reasonable, and it would come subbed if it was released by overseas distributor i guess... like if American it would have english subs, if Chinese it would have probably chinese subs XD hahahaa i might not even buy the boxset DVDs coz I recorded every single episode....... and some footage that might or might not be included... even if there is, it's probably more about the staff, director.... and very little takki... (just like the chichi no umi boku no sora DVD...) ah... we'll see how it goes in 2006 XD lol... but i do think if one can afford it... it would make an awesome collection ^^v
