Discotek announces "Crying Freeman" complete collection

[Drgnfuel]

Just for releasing the Fist of the North Star movie I might have to pick this up and show my support. Freeman was always a show I was interested in anyways.

I'll buy it in the future.

Only last year I bought an ADV set from ebay. Brick case but OK.

Please Discotek, rescue City Hunter next!

I second this... I still need the first half of City Hunter 2 and all of CH3 and CH'91.

Or at the very least please license the 1999 "Death of the Evil Ryo Saeba" Special; it was the only piece of City Hunter anime that ADV never licensed (not to mention the last CH anime ever made) and I would at the very least love to have all of the specials on DVD.

Gonna support Discotek on this one. Crying Freeman was released in the VHS days when I was a fan and it has that going for it. Definite pick up from me.

They rescued the second Sasori film! Female Convict Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 was previously released by Image Entertainment in a worn print with burned-in subtitles. I got the French import for the better picture quality, but that version doesn't have English subtitles. If Discotek is releasing a remastered version with proper subs, they are now my favorite company. Forget Crying Freeman; Jailhouse 41 is a masterpiece.

Edit: I went to google to see if I could find more info, and I stumbled upon this page for a different Female Prisoner film:

What cracked me up was the "genre" given along with the picture.

Which English dub will be on the DVDs?

What, children these days can't have tasty buttsteak and shank fights in between episodes Blue Dragon and Spongebob Squarepants? Man, what's the world coming to...

HyperDuel, I'm almost certain ADV used the old Streamline dub, so odds are it'll be on the Discotek release too.

Truth spoken here. As I said in my initial post, I'm interested in Freeman, but an English-friendly Jailhouse 41 release lavished with Discotek's usual care is the real news worth cheering here.

Hi,

Jailhouse 41 will be remastered and the subs will be removable. I'm working on getting the extras for it now.

Uzumaki will have a couple new extras including narration from the director and probably a new interview.

Crying Freeman will have the English dub and the Japanese language and English subtitles. Extras I'm not sure about yet.

The Hana Yori Dango Final has tons of extras, its going to be a 2 disc set.
