The Legend of Goemon [Goemon] (2009)

[OrlandoEastwood]

Splendid Film released Kazuaki Kiriya's Goemon back on May 28th, 2010. Unlike WVG Medien's release of Kazuaki Kiriya's first film, Casshern, Goemon is presented in 1080p and contains Japanese and German DTS-HD MA 6.1 over the U.S. release by Funimation which contains TrueHD 6.1. No English subtitles on this release, only German and Dutch. Took some screencaps from my DVDFab to compare both US and DE releases and the German release is not 60hz friendly, everything except the movie is pretty much 1080/50i or 576i. PQ is almost the same on both releases, however the German release seemed a bit darker in the contrast, especially at the end at the big show down. The disc is Region B locked. I am pleased with this release since I only spent $5.
