Well I sent in a request for the final update. Sounds like you don't have to send in cover art if you did the first time, so we'll see.

You do have to send the cover art in the second time around. A rep from Mill Creek told me to do so.

Well crap ... the posting on SciFiJapan made it sound like you didn't.

When Mill Creek sent me the info about the new G3 replacements they weren't specific one way or the other about the art wrap. But it was something I asked them about, and when Mill Creek did get back to me I added that info to the article and posted an update last week.

I guess what throws me was this bullet:
Any customers who have already received a faulty GAMERA 3 replacement Blu-ray can get the final corrected version by mailing a request to Mill Creek Entertainment. New requests must again include the artwork wrap as proof of purchase.


... which to me sounded like "new requests" were people who hadn't requested the first fix. I was wrong.

Sorry about the confusion; I tried to write things as clearly as possible. Each type of request/purchasing info had it's own "bullet", so the bullet for "Any customers who have already received a faulty GAMERA 3 replacement Blu-ray" specifically dealt with people like you who who have to make a second request to get the final Blu-ray. Info for first-timers was provided in the section starting with "If a customer has not yet sent their replacement request".

Hopefully that explains things a little better for anyone else here who needs to send in a first or second request.

No, it's my fault. I had actually second guessed this originally and asked someone else for their opinion and they were mistaken like I was, but it's still my fault at the end of the day. I'll send in a new request.

Mill Creek used brand-new high transfers, done by Kadokawa Pictures from the original film elements in the studio vaults.

Ah, my mistake. Should probably have looked that up.

My second replacement disc arrived in the mail and I finally had the time to view it. The subtitles on both the film and extra features are fine in terms of size. But they still seem a little buggy to me. Does anyone know just how accurate they really are?

Since BCI never got a chance to release Silver Kamen, I highly doubt it unfortunately. I'd love to see the series that's pretty much Akio Jissoji's baby.
