Zone Fighter DVD?

[kpa]

@ Legion, question: There's only about twenty people "signed" up. Wouldn't it be better if we got more people before we started sending letters? If the receive twenty letters over a two-week span, and then don't receive any for another month, it seems to me they'll forget about it. I'm not a business man, but that's the way I looked at it.

I totally agree with Legion here. Studios told me that petitions are usually ignored, and sending 20 (or more) letters in a short amount of time won't do much better. The way Legion suggested would be much more effective than what you're trying to do.

I'm going to say that I also agree with the way Legion has suggested to do it. Don't worry about how many people you can get. Just send the darn letters.

This organized fan movement to bond together as a mighty legion (no pun intended) of dedicated fans who want Zone Fighter on DVD is a cute idea, but it's not really going to do anything. Like I've been saying, if YOU want to see this series get a US release just stop worrying about combining efforts and just send a letter to a companies you think are most likely to be interested in this. Tell others to do the same, but worrying about how many people you've collected to do this in some mass movement is pointless.

Maybe LC should take me off his ignore list. Hey, someone quote this. LOL

I'm in, but I am going with Legion's advice.

We should probably ask the topic starter to put that info at the start so we don't have to keep reposting it.

That, and I've said it already, but I think I might PM him and ask if he'll change the name of the thread. Something like "Get Zone Fighter on DVD".

Or a mod could just do it.

I remember hearing something about a location in Japan where a lot of the people there speak English, and all the dvds there have English subtitles. I don't believe it myself, but can anyone else officially prove or disprove it?

It's partially true a lot of people do speak English in Japan but most domestic DVDs in Japan don't feature English subs, there's a few exceptions to the rule most notably the first isue of the Showa Gamera DVDs with the exception of "Super Monster", if you bought the Heisei Trilogy in boxset form then GOTU, G2 and G3 had subs and finally The X From Outer Space has an English dub on its disc.

So, we're mailing Media Blasters? Huh... I'll send a letter. Why not.

I'd like to see Zone Fighter, but I'm more interested in seeing more of the Ultra Series. I've actually messaged Tsuburaya Prod. via their English site, asking about possible US releases. I haven't gotten a response, though.

[The Dark Uniter]

I'm in as well. I too want to see Zone Fighter with subs. I'll start writing tomorrow.

I'd love to see more Ultra series released over here too but sadly I don't think we will for awhile for one thing Tsuburaya went back to court against Chaiyo and for another they wheren't to thrilled with BCI licensing Ultraman from Chaiyo.

God damn, is it me or are Japan's business man even more sue happy then business men in the U.S.?

[gvamp]

It's not Japan's doing Tsuburaya won the case then last year Chaiyo filed for an appeals.

Didn't they get in a lawsuit with Toho over Jet Jaguar looking like Ultraman?

Yeah, I'd give my first born virgin daughter to see an Ultra Seven release.

I'm not 100% sure on that. I don't think so as far as I know Tsuburaya had a good relationship with Toho.

kpa or August would be the ones to ask about that.

[Tamura]

There are a million henshin that look like Ultraman...
