    Author: Jim M. Ballard Official Site: http://kadokawa-d.jp/lineup/doctor-who/ After a failed attempt by Japan`s public broadcaster NHK to bring DOCTOR WHO to the country in 2006, and a few scattered airings on satellite and web video services, Japan has spent almost a decade waiting to catch up with the BBC`s hit sci-fi series. Last year DOCTOR WHO celebrated it`s 50th anniversary with a special feature-length episode, THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR, which was broadcast simultaneously in 75 countries around the world. Although the episode failed to find a broadcaster in Japan, Japanese fans were instead treated to subtitled episodes of earlier seasons for the first time via the online video subscription service Hulu. Now DOCTOR WHO is now receiving a full-fledged relaunch on DVD in Japan featuring a new Japanese voice cast. The new releases will begin with
