Wait 'til the R1s come out (oh, but wait, aren't they somewhat modified 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. | ||||

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. |

Hi! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,360 Member No.: 152 Joined: Dec 22nd 2002 Location: Ohio | 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. |

the deranged one Group: Advanced Members Posts: 5,132 Member No.: 34 Joined: Oct 1st 2002 Location: Vancouver, Canada | 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 | ||||

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 21 Member No.: 226 Joined: Feb 7th 2003 Location: Update Profile | But I want to buy the DVD instead of downloading them. Is there a version where they ONLY speak Japanese and has ONLY english subtitles ? I dont want chinese subs. |
