They're exactly the same discs, it's just not something they obviously plan on leaving in print that long in Japan

The movie does have excellent and unique subtitling (including animation), so it's going to definately be a demo title for Blu's subbing capability if they've managed to match those using BD-J

Hopefully they just leave off the silly dub if they can't

Thanks everyone!

Yes, I am trying to wait and see if the US versions have the animated subs, and what the significance is of the 6 minutes additional footage (not sure if it is included in the Blus).

If the Japanese versions have the animated subs, then they will be animated Japanese subs if they have to hard code them.

As far as disc content goes they should be the same

Since the disc contents are listed as having J and english subs, I can only assume they have either gotten rid of the animation, done seamless branching, or managed it through BD-J

On my dvd there is a "deleted scene" of the different ending. It's like 6 minutes long I believe. To be honest- you're not missing anything. It kind of trails off instead of having a strong ending, and it hurts the overall film in my opinion. It was later cut (I assume the director had a part in it) for US audiences.

I rented the 1st one and the dubs were so bad that I stopped watching the movie after 20 mins.

You should have flipped the disc and gotten the real actors then

Yeah I hope it's not dubbed. I'd like to see it with subtitles.

Thanks Aramis for your reply. Can anyone describe the "animated" subtitles...everyone says they contribute to the film. I've never seen the SD....

Thanks,
Sariena
