According to the info on amazon.us about this Import, it does come with English PCM Sound Track.

But as this is the KR Version it could be that there is no english audio. This also comes with a booklet. (Giant Robo - The Day The Earth Stood Still) Awesome artwork and the 4K Remaster should be superb.

Love Japanese anime.

Think I might have to order this.

Added thumb and flag.

This looks immense.

 

[bruinsinla]

This look great. But the lack of english audio and subtitles is keeping me away from this.

The set from Japan has english audio but it does not state that it contains a steelbook even though the packaging looks identical and comes with four disc's.

But it costs £223.00 from amazon.jp

I used to purchase A -LOT of Korean made dvd's, and more often than not there are English subtitles on them. I'm not sure if Korea is trying to sneak them by Japanese authorities for larger English speaking sales, or if Korea just likes English subs, but there's a fifty-fifty shot that this will include a subtitle track for us =)

Has this set come out anywhere else with an English dub? I watched it year ago in English so thats only how I've known it.

Also I have some questions regarding Anime steelbooks if anyone is in the know regarding this specific area to field some PM's

 

[extantsrevenge]

Interesting, but I have never seen this and it has no english subtitles. Is it any good?

Anyone able to read Korean. That's the set info and says United States down there, but I have no idea what it's referring to

Rod these are the details from the same box set on amazon.us, which is the JP Import.

Everything looks the same but it does not state that it includes a Steelbook as on JSDVD.

Amazing artwork on this !! Defiantly would be good to no if it does indeed have English subs ??

Wow the prices for that set on amazon.com are out of this world, $388 is the cheapest - what's it made of - Platinum or something

It's far cheaper to get this Korean set

I no I think its an artefact found in The Forbidden City.

Thats why we are trying to find out if there are any English Subs on the KR Version, as that amazon.jp price is outrageous !!!

 

[Taishig]

I've never even heard of this...why charge so much?

 

[blu-steel]

You got to draw a line in the sand somewhere.

That refers to region code and has nothing to do with subtitles. I think it means region A(South Korea, The United States and Japan).

 

[rodtp]

@jayhsong Cool thanks mate!
@jammyone Crazy price indeed. I can see it for $97 in Korea.
@earthscope Mate let me know if you need help getting this boxset from Korea.

The sixth field is languages, and the seventh is subtitles. Hence no English on this edition (unless omitted from the official specs).
