Toku DVDs with subtitles.

[Tiger]

So I'm thinking of investing in a uhhhh, multi-region DVD player, since our regular one is pretty fucked. Can anyone tell me some Toku DVDs which are out in the US which have subtitles? English subtitles. Don't you have Ultraman, Kamen Rider V3, Kikaider and Kamen Rider: The Next?

THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKS.

 

[Mr. Yellow]

There's also Iron King and Super Robot Red Baron with US Releases.

Do you already have a DVD player? If so, I'd check and see if your brand/model has a remote hack. A lot of players do. Press a few numbers on your remote and Kazzamo!!, multi-region player. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks

Don't forget Kikaida 01, Inazuman, Ultraman Tiga, a couple Ultraman movies ....

The original Ultraman series too.

other then that, the only thing you'll be able to find are crappy Hong Kong subs.

Tiga's hard to come by though.

Not sure if any Godzilla releases qualify.

Thanks, but the reason I'm getting a new one is because my old one is pretty much fucked. :C

Tokusatsu is just a Japanese word for Special Effects, basically. Godzilla is absolutely categorized under it. For some reason, people, probably a 'western' notion mostly, seem to leave the tokusatsu calling to TV series only. So all those great Toho 'monster movies + space films etc." , Gamera, various Toei films , count as well.

Depends which Tiga volume. #3 being the most difficult and expensive heh. But there are a number of them on Amazon right now. The other volumes aren't really that hard to come by. I think 1 and 4 are the easiest and probably cheapest.

Oh yeah, I consider Godzilla tokusatsu. What I meant was I didn't know if Tiger wanted/needed to know about all the Godzilla series that are released with subtitles.
