NAVARRE SHUTS DOWN BCI ECLIPSE

[August]

*throws up hands* I don't believe this. the whole point of this thing being delayed, according to you, was so the subtitles would be accurate enough, and now you're telling us that we've been waiting all this time and nothing has even been DONE!?!?!?!

I've been waiting twenty-five years for a subbed version of SILVER MASK, so get in line.

But, more importantly, don't misquote me. I never said SILVER MASK was delayed "so the subtitles would be accurate." Get your facts straight before posting. I wasn't an employee at BCI; I worked for Cliff McMillan as a commissioned writer, so I wasn't privy to what their decisions were, nor was I a part of any decision-making policies in regards to their business affairs.

Now, to set the timeline (and facts) straight, I said that RED BARON was pushed back so I could have enough time to work on the subs, so they wouldn't be a rush job. So, it went from a December 2007 release to a April 2008 release. After RED BARON was done, Cliff had a lot more releases than just SILVER MASK and FIGHT! DRAGON to release, so these titles were pushed back to Spring and Summer 2009.

They were pushed back because of slow sales of BCI's Japanese titles, including IRON KING; and over the last two years, BCI apparently failed to turn a profit, so they began to re-think their release dates and pole positioned more "known" titles. Since FIGHT! DRAGON was put before SILVER MASK, work on the latter was put on the back burner. This past August, I received all of the check discs for FIGHT! DRAGON, so I could begin work on that set (which was set for Spring 2009).

Just a couple of weeks after I got the deadline for FIGHT! DRAGON in November, the main corporate company which owned BCI/Eclipse, decided, because of downturning economy, to shut down the label.

What Navarre does with their remaining and unreleased titles remains to be seen.

I saw a bunch of Red Baron dvd sets at a Best Buy near my area. Gonna have to get that bitch soon as possible.

^This is why August gets laid.

 

[Inui Takumi]

Well, looks like I won't get Jackie Chan/Sammo Hung/Yuen Biao's Dragons Forever DVD. *sigh*

:thumbs:

(I was also soooo looking forward to the BCI release of KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS with the Shat!)

 

[Ultraman_Meta777]

Sorry, I must've gotten confused. it's been happening a lot lately.

Please don't take it to mean that I was angry at you, I was merely angry in general at BCI's decision.

I was very much looking forward to Silver Kamen because I bought both Iron King and Super Robot Red Baron, and I enjoy both very much!

And I never said you were employed at BCI, but you obviously had some sort of 'in' with them because you were responsible for the DVD booklet for both Iron King and Red Baron, and apparently worked on the subtitles for both releases as well. Like you said, you were commissioned by them, at the very least. But that's besides the point.

I acted out of disappointment and frustration, and for that I apologize. I just didn't like how this seemed to serve as a severe blow to the prospect of future Region 1 Tokusatsu releases.

 

[August]

Apology accepted. One correction, though, I did not get to proof or edit the English Subtitles for IRON KING... I did for RED BARON and was hoping to do FIGHT! DRAGON and SILVER MASK.

Even though BCI is gone, Cliff McMillan is not, and hopefully he will continue his work at another label. Meanwhile, I will be working with JN Productions/Generation Kikaida in the future on their next projects (whatever they may be).

 

[Okkusenman]

kinda off topic but August, does disney have the rights to all of super sentai?... I was hoping for a Gen Kikaida battle fever J release.

 

[August]

Yes, Disney has the Super Sentai rights.
