Ok here is my review. This is by far one of the coolest DVD box sets I have seen. American ideas of marketing sickens me and helps the almighty buck. But what else are we expecting from the largest consumer country in the world ran by capitalism? Anyway . . . This DVD is the Japanese R2 Premium Box Set. Retail is 7600 Yen. There is another one that is around 3600 (I think) that is the movie. Not sure about Special features. This version has a somewhat long but beautiful intro before the Main Menu that shows the main characters,The Bride, Lucy Liu, Hanzo, Chiyaki, Johnny Mo and others. The main menu has the usual Play Movie, Scene Index, special features, and audio setup. In terms of audio setup there is English audio and a Japanese Dubb. for Subtitles there is english and two japanese tracks. Although I dont know what the second one is for. The first japanese track is just to translate anything not japanese. So its not for the hearing impaired. For special features, There is a home video of the production mainly of the Blue Leaves restaurant. Portraying Uma and Chiyaki duking it out on the set. There is a indepth interview and documentary by the japanese animators. There is a list of cast and people who worked on the film. Sort of a Bio/filmography. And under the names are some interviews; Quentin Tarantino, Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Sonny Chiba, Julie Dreyfus, and Chiyaki. as well as the producer. There is a feature that plays the animated sequence along with the original storyboards. As the anime plays they show you 5 or 6 shots fromthe story board so you can see how they concieved the shots for the anime. There is a photo gallery, with shots from the production and sketches of the anime. Like a naked redering of the Bride. dont know why she's naked but who cares right? Of course liek most DVDs trailers and tv spots are in the list. There is a neat trailer of Kill Bill as a whole. Vol 1 and Vol 2 combined as one big trailer for one big movie. In terms of the DVD it is great there is the famous full color fight scene in the Blue Leaves restaurant. There are scenes in there that are not in the US release DVD or theatrical. such as the introduction of the boy she spanks in the room (right after the lights are turned on upstairs and proceeds to spank him) she met him earlier. after whirling about like a dervish she is about the swing down on him but he raises his hands to show that he is unarmed. She then throws him into a rushing gang of Crazy 88s. There is also the inclusion of cutting off parts from Sofie in her trunk. While you get teh close medium shot of Sofie being stroked by Bill in the hospital you think she is afraid of bill but rather in the japanese version it is edited with a flashback where the bride tells her why she lives and that she will cut off pieces she will miss if she doesnt answer and the forcefully grabs Sofie's other arm and chops it off and the blood shoots everywhere covering the camera which id right above Uma's left shoulder looking down into the trunk. There are also scenes that are from and lead into Vol 2. at the end of the film. As for stuff see the pictures of the Okinawa shirt Uma wears upon visiting Hanzo, there is the 1/10 scale hanzo sword and the cute rider suit bearbrick. There is also a 24 page color booklet whcih I will take pictures of later. and a discount coupon for Vol. 2. By and large this DVD rocks the casbah.

This is the Toy Forum isn't it? Just reporting what toys I found. He means that the toy is Robotech and this forum is for "Macross Toys" and last I saw your new toy is New Genesis i.e Mospeada. This should have gone into the Other, Scifi Anime forums under Robotech toys. Thats all. He didnt mean anything by it. Mostlikely to be organized this will be moved soon.

makes you think "crap in a hat, what have I done with my life? Im a loser!!!"

Pics!!!! Now!!! How much?

Yes it is. THe 1/10 scale sword is pretty good. I give it a 9 out of 10. It comes separated (handle/grip, blade, hilt/guard, sheath, stand, red felt/carpet, Kill Bill sign. The sign and stand does not need to be assembled. The sword does. The blade is not full tang. "tang" mean that the blade is one solid piece of metal that runs all the way to the bottom of the grip where the pommel would be. The 1/10 scale is like 1/4 tang. It just plugs into the grip and stick 1/4 the way in. The blade does have the Hanzo Hattori logo. The sheath is detailed but the ropes are molded into the sheath rather than actual thread. The stand allows for the sheath and sword to be displayed separately. And it all sits on a little red felt carpet. With a little sign that says "Kill Bill." Because the sword is rather small the details are a not exactly to proportion. Like teh Hanzo logo is a little big. I will take pictures tonight when I get home.

I like the flash a lot it kawaii ne!!! but I that was Korean text. Are yyou sure it was a japanese ska band? anyone know who it was?

Ya I'm a sucker for special packaging like that. I'll have to see if I can find one of those. Hey Solscud007 any idea what the "other" Japanese subtitle track is for? I haven't had a chance to watch to all of the DVD yet. I dunno I thought it might have been a hearing impaired one but It didnt do much. I only entertained it for like a few minutes. Also I hate that there are no subs for the japanese speaking parts when using the first japanese subtitile track. I guess they assume there arent too many hearing impaired people in japan. or something.

ahh so nice to have the original VF-1S Hikaru with my VF-1S hikaru 1/48 haha. But that is nice. If I had more 1/48s I would get it.

are you serious about ultra magnus? that crap came out earlier for armada and I thought it was still crap. the red version. Look at how small the cab is versus the trailer? WTF is that crap? crap in a hat!!!

I know tell me about it. My GF came back from Vancouver, CA and brought back a case. for 40 bucks. She was pissed when we saw that on toyeast and vowed to never get me stuff again haha.
