We wants the dubs. They're readily available. Shout included some of them, and the ones they missed can be gotten as well. Would help sales a bit, I would think. Easier for kids to enjoy too, the target audience for these films. Kaiju fans are obviously gonna wanna show these to their moppets. And four films per disc? Bad idea. Mill Creek really hasn't turned around that much, folks. I'm still waiting for a proper release of GAMERA, GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE. Y'know, one that has decent encoding with no artifacting, correct audio levels with decent LFE (non-existent in the English dub) and decent dialogue level (way too muffled in the Japanese track), and a slates subtitle track with translated onscreen text regarding signs, newspapers, locations, etc.
Once again, Mill Creek appears to be dropping the ball. I wish Criterion would be interested in putting these out. Or Arrow overseas.
