Well ... trading or buying this DVD is not really an option for me as it'll still be R1. Even if I buy a new region-free DVD player, it would still pose problems when I lend DVD's to friends to in the end, I just try to stick to R2. Oh well, with some luck they'll release it in Europe, otherwise I'll have get the Japanese version.
I finally remember why my brain kept being stuck on hakkai: because we used that often at my office in Japan to start a meeting (hakkai = start a meeting; hakai = destroy) :sweat:
