Everyone,
We can't account for Daiei's poor original English translation. The original intent of the filmmakers is "Guillon", and that is the proper transliteration. "Gojira" or "Godzilla"? "Angilas" or "Anguirus"? YOG, MONSTER FROM SPACE or SPACE AMOEBA? (Rhetorical questions.) A rose by any other name... Let's not lose site of the big picture here, and that is the original GAMERA films are being released on DVD in the US, in big beautiful transfers, right?
As far as I know, we're still scheduled for mid-July for BARUGON -- I'm submitting the materials for the corresponding booklet tonight. I'll update everyone with the official information as we are able to release it to you folks -- unfiltered and straight from the source!
