Gamera & DaiMajin coming to Blu-ray in Japan

Postby Joseph Goodman » Fri Apr 03, 2009 12:49 pm



Seeing as the US and Japan are the same region on Blu-Ray (region A), I wouldn't count on English subs being included.

I'm all thumbs when it comes to dealing with Japanese language sites. What's the easiest way for me to go about ordering the Gamera sets?

Legion, just google search for "ordering from amazon japan" or something similar. I felt the same way until i did that. There are plenty of step by step guides that tell you exactly what to do. I never actually ordered anything, but the guides i found were plenty easy to follow.

The AV Watch website specifies Kaneko's GAMERA trilogy will have Japanese subtitles. There's no mention of subtitles (Japanese or otherwise) for the Showa titles, and more importantly no mention of English for any of the discs.

The screenshots originated from the following website and are from earlier TV broadcasts (presumably the same source for the upcoming Blu-rays):
http://www.ld-dvd.2-d.jp/hivision/hivision_itiran.html

They have shots from the other DAIMAJIN films, as well as GAMERA VS. BARUGON, FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD, GODZILLA, DEATH NOTE and several other titles.
