... plus, the cost of the Japanese version will probably send you to the poorhouse as well. happy.gif

Wait 'til the R1s come out (oh, but wait, aren't they somewhat modified dry.gif with different character names like Takumi being replaced with Ta.... <shot by overzealous Initial D fan before he completes sentence>

Not my fault if you didn't tie the end of the bag firmly. I could've fallen out and wouldn't have noticed. smile.gif

On Kazaa, most of 2nd stage is in Cantonese.


Didn't like those voices though, so emotionless and sounds weird. But anyways, look at the price.


Japanese DVDs will be much more expensive than typical HK DVD rips.

You could always do a Sopranos. Take that bag and throw it into the ocean.

check out the fan subed ones before you buy the HK's.
The Cantonese were pretty bad dubs, but never the less they were free.

fan subs are subtitled anime's done by the fans themselves.


when we say that they're chinese....they're only speaking in chinese. there's still english subtitles so don't worry bout it.

i don't think you'll get all jap dubbed if you're downloading it...
you'll only get cantonese around the second stage i believe...
but there's still english subs so don't worry... even if cantonese may annoy you a bit... it's a sacrifice worth taking biggrin.gif
