There isn't any footage difference between the two, and the American actors have their real voices, so I hope it won't be a deal breaker for most people.<br /><br />According to August Ragone, there WILL be bonus material. What? I actually don't know. I am sure he has something good up his sleeve, based on his history with the Japanese science-fiction genre.<br /><br />I have the Eastern Star DVD too, but I really want to support these kind of releases to keep them coming as long as possible. I understand if people can't justify re-buying, but it would be a shame to see this die on the vine after finally getting an American release. A Blu-Ray release will be out of the question in that case.<br /><br />I don't know if it interests you, but Shout! will also be releasing the TV series Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot in the next couple of months.C.

I'm like you, I love anything sci-fi/fantasy from my childhood in the 70's (although I still contend that 1982 was THE BEST year for movies EVER), the weirder the better, I eat it up like a Klingon chows down gagh! But this was stunning in its weirdness, and I can't wait to own it so I can show it to the people that I've tried to describe it to, because they think I've finally gone 'round the twist for good.<br /><br />Now, I just need to see "The War in Space"!<br /><br />Your Pal,<br /><br />StormStorm the Klingon Broadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-29952384236866847172013-01-08T16:24:15.632-05:002013-01-08T16:24:15.632-05:00The Netflix print has the English dub and titles, ...The Netflix print has the English dub and titles, so I'm guessing it's the version originally distributed in U.S. by United Artists.Christopher Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978811373546110421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-50729072328821435962013-01-08T16:10:27.894-05:002013-01-08T16:10:27.894-05:00Which version is on Netflix streaming, the origina...Which version is on Netflix streaming, the original Japanese or the American cut?Lizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612692415592670468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-67897281500688414632013-01-08T14:09:10.669-05:002013-01-08T14:09:10.669-05:00I wouldn't be surprised if the Shout Factory r...I wouldn't be surprised if the Shout Factory release has more extras, if their other releases are anything to go by. They tend to put out the original Japanese versions so odds are this won't be the UA cut. Check out their release of Gamera the Giant Monster for an example.<br /><br />Now I have to figure out if I should budget for this one.
