Manic Spreadsheeter. Likes old anime dubs, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and that weird sticky goo that holds magazine inserts in place. Sky: @v-i.dev

Research time. Wonder if S’more blessed this DVD with PDF subtitles…

Does anybody know any background information on the anime Bible Stories: Tales from the Old Testament? (Not the Tezuka series) Literally the only credits I can find are Fred Ladd’s Greatest Tales Inc, and a “Video Japonica” that seems to be a dead end.

@OhPoorPup Japan seemed to love the format. It's to the point that anything with a 1.66:1 aspect ratio is often listed as ビスタサイズ (Vista Size), even if it's not actually VistaVision
日本語
today I learned: the end of evangelion was the last film (until this year) to be shot on Vistavision film, the format used for White Christmas, The Searchers, The Ten Commandments, a lot of high "spectacle" hollywood classics
English
@AniSenior That’s in a clear “Scanavo-style” case, as far as I can tell. Might be the first US-market anime in one of those, so it is historically significant, but that question was specifically about “standard” BD cases that were funky colors.
English
@AniSenior A few months ago I imported a German Battle Angel Alita DVD because it was supposed to have the old MangaUK dub on it.
Turns out it was a bootleg rip of the ADV DVD with German audio grafted on, and Manga Germany hadn’t existed since the VHS days
English
@_v__i_ Most German bootlegs currently floating around, at least anime-wise, are using dubs that are at least 22 years old and, in most cases, never had a legit DVD (TV-airings, VHS, LD), and are hard or impossible to licence - so there is no company that could sue the bootleggers.

Looks like @ShopCrunchyroll finally has being able to order backordered items as a feature. The holidays are going to be dangerous this year.
English
@AniSenior Yeah, anything Southeast Asia is a nightmare trying to get any info on. There’a a reason AnimeNewsNetwork doesn’t track VCD releases, and it’s because nobody could be sure what was legit or not.
English
@_v__i_ Some lines above it seems to be the actual copyright text? Region lock to R3 and no other subs than Chinese is also a good sign, as well as the at least reasonable price and the "only for Taiwan" text.
The DVD was also released after Taiwan got some copyright laws - so likely ok
English
@AniSenior Well, as close to officially licensed as I can tell. They’re a legit company, and following their “licensed by” credit on ANN down a rabbit hole of archived sites shows they did a theatrical run at some point in the 2000s.

@_v__i_ How can one verify that this was official / licensed? Especially after what I've learned regarding Taiwan Soundtrack CDs
English
@MichaelToole Arguably being the single most popular anime in the west for a while likely didn’t hurt.
For reference, (as far as I’m aware) there are only 2 anime with more than 100 VHS releases in the US: Ranma ½ and Dragon Ball Z.
Viz as we know them today would not exist without Ranma.
English
@_v__i_ in retrosect it's really impressive. I did NOT think they would get the whole thing done!!
English
sarah strange and venus terzo taught me otherwise thirty goddamn years ago, i am not changing course now
this is slightly NSFW i suppose, but it will still make u laff 😀
English
@MichaelToole If I’m remembering my history right, Ranma was the very first (successful) attempt to dub an entire TV anime without a broadcast deal, and it ended up taking them 9 years. No wonder they were charging $15 an episode!
English
TWO dubbed episodes of ranma one half for just $29.95. such a deal!
i paid less for an entire season on blu-ray, we live in insane times

Check out this podcast I'm in! It's Retro Hangover and in it I get to co-interview VICTOR IRELAND from WORKING DESIGNS. Lots of good stuff in here that he hasn't talked about before, with some info about the upcoming Lunar Remasters from Gung Ho!

@crashoveride953 Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C: Solid State Society had it on the US Blu-ray from Bandai Entertainment, if I’m remembering correctly.

They Were Eleven delayed again to 2025-01-21
vi@_v__i_
And we have 10! That’s 10 delays, as They Were Eleven has been pushed back AGAIN, this time to 2024-11-19. I would say I’m shocked, but that would be lying.

@NickNickGoose @JTaylorPro They’ve mentioned before of the issue when something wasn’t selling, they decide that “this will be the last print run”, expecting to last a year or two, and then it sells out overnight because they said the magic words “out of print”
English
@NickNickGoose @JTaylorPro I think it’s down to them deciding a print run will be the last, and letting people know then that it’s “OOP”, versus the norm of deciding when stock is almost out to not do another print run, and declaring it “OOP” when it’s pretty much already sold out.
