Zone Fighter DVD?

[o.supreme]

Zone Jr. Oh and he does much more than just "hang around" once he is transformed into his costume he is a pint sized Garoga butt kicking machine

[dogora]

uhhh its been a while anyone got any new news?

[Legion1979]

uhhh its been a while anyone got any new news?

Why would anyone have any news? It's not like any company is considering doing this. This is just a small group of fans trying to make something happen that isn't necessarily going to happen.

tis the harsh reality of life

[Living Corpse]

Sigh.

Reality is harsh.

The reason why I prefer fantasy over reality.

Is it a "final" fantasy?

lawlz I dunno.

Nope. I just had a fantasy. So at worst, his was "second-to-final".

On topic, I was thinking that if Pacific Rim was a hit over here, with the whole "mechs & monsters" premise, it might give the idea of putting out some old tokusatsu material a much-needed boost. I'm not saying it's likely, but I can see the potential of marketing Zone to the Hot Topic crowd, something they can use to prove how retro-hip they are.

[kaiju_wars]

It would be so badass if Zone Fighter came to America on DVD and Blu-Ray, I would so get it.

But with Toho now, like that would happen anytime soon.

[miguelnuva]

I was going to start a new topic but found this instead, why don't we just make a fan dub for Zone Fighter?

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Ooh! I call Godzilla's voice!

Seriously though, wouldn't that be an ungodly amount of work? I mean, fan subs are pretty painstaking, and you don't have to bother with recordings and (in many scenes) entirely reconstructed sound mixes.

[Rody]

I'd rather have an official, licensed release, however unlikely that may be.

Me too.

I am 41 y/o and a lifelong G-Fan. I grew up on the classic movies and have almost all of them and almost all of the newer films on DVD. However, I never even knew about this series until I got the Godzilla Official Conpendium 10 years ago. I want the series, and all of the appearances Godzilla made in it, on DVD. Subtitled or dubbed, it doesn't matter to me, as long as I can understand it. Shout Factory or Media Blasters has got to do this for all of us G-Fans!!

[o.supreme]

I'm 36 and like you ahve been a lifelong G-Fan. Unfortunately there is no official North American release at this time, and seemingly no prospects either. The series came out on DVD in Japan quite a while ago, but there has never even been a fan sub (that I know of). Sci-Fi Japan.com has a very thorough episode guide on their site. The only way to view the series at this time is in raw japanese. There are unlicensed DVD copies available if you search hard enough. This forum however does not allow the discussion of where to obtain bootleg copies. I too am hopeful that one day someone will license this series legitimately for distribution in North America, until then I just enjoy what I have. Godzilla makes appearances in 5 of the 26 episodes. King Ghidora is in a 2-parter, and Gigan appears (post G vs. Megalon)in the second Godzilla cameo episode. I was fortunate enough to find out about the series around 1991 through some fan zines.

The ones I have are bootlegs but for bootlegs they are pretty good quality. Not all of the episodes are subbed, but so far I have seen 3 that are and they are on disk one. When Classic Media was putting out the first 7 films (unfortunately they couldn't do King Kong Vs. Godzilla) I emailed and asked if they would pick it up. Since it was a few years ago I do not remember their exact answer, but it was something like they were disinclined to pursue it at the time. Perhaps if a petition were to get started and sent to the American studio making the newest film we might persuade them to put it out to whet our appetites.

Oops. Almost did a bin NO NO! I almost told where I got mine.

[Shōbijin]

It's funny to see how this show looks better than Megalon in the special-effects departement. The show would be more worthwile too, I guess.

Shout! really seems like a company that would do it, if only they had the licence.....
